The Vango Odyssey 500 is made using Protex 3,000HH polyester that is durable. It is also waterproof making it ideal for all year round. The groundsheet is made using polyethylene 10,000HH that is comfortable and strong enough for pitching on almost all terrains. The factory taped seams on both the flysheet and groundsheet have been known to provide the best water tight seal. It also has an Airspeed Valve system for inflating airbeams with less effort. The sitting room is floored, but the floor is not sewn in; it is linked it. This means you can also remove it when you need to clean it or when you do not want it in the living area. However, the inner tent (the sleeping area) is completely floored separately, and here you have a bathtub floor, so this is a tent within the tent. Note that the Capri 600 from the same brand is with a sewn-in floor.

The tent’s design and structure are such that it is not so great for a warm climate. I have seen some people complaining it is too hot in it; they did not do their search properly and did not read about the tent’s features. But it will be your excellent camping tool in a cooler and wet area.The arched shape of the tent with the doors on the side means that any water or condensation off the top of the tent runs down the side and drips into the tent because the doors are on the sloping side Double Action Pump - Supplied with all AirBeam® tents our ergonomically designed pump allows you to effortlessly inflate your tent.
