Vango Sierra 500 (Poled) Tent 2025

Product Information

The Vango Sierra Tent range combines the timeless appeal of traditional poled tents with modern features, making it the perfect choice for those seeking reliability, comfort, and ease of use. Now upgraded with Sentinel DynamicWeave™ fabric, which intertwines durable 70D and 100D polyester threads, and ColourLok Eco™ solution-dyed technology for enhanced UV resistance and eco-friendliness, the Sierra Poled Tent offers superior strength, durability, and sustainability.

Available in two sizes, the Sierra 350 is ideal for couples or small groups, providing the perfect balance of compactness and comfort, while the Sierra 500 is perfect for families or those who need extra space for extended stays. The Vango Sierra Poled Tent uses colour-coded PowerFlex® Fibreglass poles for quick and easy assembly. These strong and lightweight poles make setting up your tent a breeze. The colour-coding system ensures you get the right pole in the right place, speeding up pitching time and allowing you to focus on enjoying your trip.

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 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 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 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.
