Vango Sierra Air 500 Airbeam Tent 2025

Product Information

The Vango Sierra Air Tent is perfect for those seeking a small, easy-to-pitch tent that doesn’t compromise on comfort or features. Now upgraded with Vango’s cutting-edge Sentinel DynamicWeave™ fabric and eco-conscious ColourLok Eco™ solution-dyed technology, the Sierra range delivers enhanced durability, sustainability, and UV resistance while maintaining its lightweight and compact design.

Available in two sizes, the Sierra 300 is ideal for couples or small groups, offering one of the smallest footprints you can still stand up in, while the Sierra 500 caters to small families or those wanting extra space for extended stays. Both models are packed with features that make camping effortless and enjoyable. The Sierra Air couldn’t be easier to set up. Simply peg out the base, inflate each AirBeam® with the manual stirrup pump provided, and secure the guy lines. In no time, your tent is ready, leaving you more time to enjoy the outdoors.

Say goodbye to early morning wake-ups with the Midnight bedrooms, Vango’s darkest sleeping fabric yet. Designed to reduce the early morning light and keep the interior cooler, the bedrooms ensure a better night’s rest for up to three people in the Sierra 300 and five in the Sierra 500. Handy internal storage pockets help keep essentials like phones and torches close at hand. Dividers also allow for added privacy, catering to individual preferences.

The Sierra tents are divided into three key areas: a spacious and private sleeping area which is perfect for restful nights, a comfortable living area which provides plenty of room to shelter on rainy days, and a sheltered front canopy section which is ideal for covered cooking or storing wet and muddy clothing. The front canopy provides shelter from rain or sun, allowing you to open the front door and enjoy fresh air without the elements invading your living space.

The Sentinel DynamicWeave™ fabric, with its unique blend of 70D and 100D threads, delivers exceptional durability and weather resistance. With a 4,000mm hydrostatic head (HH) rating and fully taped seams, the Sierra Air keeps you dry in heavy rain. Extensive ventilation panels on every side, coupled with mesh windows and low-level external vents, ensure excellent airflow while keeping bugs at bay. Despite its spacious interior, the Sierra Air boasts a compact pack size and lightweight construction, making it easy to transport and store. Perfect for weekend getaways, family camping trips, or longer stays, this tent is as versatile as it is practical.

The Vango Sierra Air Tent range delivers an unbeatable mix of flexibility, comfort, and convenience. With upgraded materials, thoughtful features, and a stunning Deep Blue colourway, it’s the ideal choice for campers looking for a dependable and stylish tent for any adventure.
