Why Choose the Vango Sierra 500?
The Vango Sierra 500 is a thoughtfully designed 5 person poled family tent created for warm weather camping where ventilation, space and ease of use are priorities. Positioned as a summer focused family tent, it offers a bright, airy living environment while maintaining dependable weather protection.
A key strength of the Sierra 500 is its ventilation led design. The tent uses a combination of large mesh panels, including an additional mesh panel behind the bedrooms, adjustable rear ventilation and a large mesh roll away front door. Together, these features promote continuous airflow, helping to reduce condensation and maintain a comfortable internal temperature during warmer conditions.
The flysheet is constructed from Dynamic Weave 100™ fabric, a cross hatch polyester developed to balance durability with a manageable pack size. With a 4,000mm hydrostatic head, fully taped seams and ColourLok Eco technology, the fabric delivers reliable rain protection while improving colour retention and resistance to UV exposure, ideal for repeated summer use.
Inside, the Sierra 500 features Queen Size Midnight Bedrooms, designed to reduce early morning light and improve sleep comfort. Each sleeper benefits from 60cm of sleeping space, and clear access bedroom doors with no step over make entry and exit easier for all ages. Practical bedroom pockets keep essentials close to hand.
The pre-attached front canopy extends the usable living area outdoors, providing shade and shelter for dining, relaxing or storing equipment. Combined with the flat front living area and Villa Construction with upright side walls, the Sierra 500 maximises internal height and usable floor space, creating a living area that feels open and practical for family camping.
Stability in changeable weather is supported by PowerFlex fibreglass poles, pre angled poles, the TBSII Tension Band System, adjustable pegging and oversized corner pegs. A fully sewn-in groundsheet with an external storm skirt creates a bug free, draught free interior, while features such as diamond clear windows, SkyTrack II, lantern hanging points, high visibility guylines and an oversized Easy Pack carry bag complete a well specified family tent for comfortable summer camping.
