Vango Tiree 350 & 500 Tent Review 2024 

The Dog is very entertaining! Good video BTW.

So I have just purchased this from Vango. It’s about a 15 minute pitch on your own. Pros 1. fitted in the bag after folding up. 2. Good quality pegs 3. Can strike inner first if raining. 4. Sealed seams 5. Ok colour. 6. Day glow guys. 7. PU ground sheet which is rip stop so wet shouldn’t come up with a bath tub design. 8. I can stand up in it - I’m 5’ 4” and will comfortably fit two camping chairs and a table in the awning with the doors zipped up. The sleeping area is a great size. 9. Really good thick fibre glass poles. Cons - the design of the door for the inner has only a one way zip - which ends at the bottom. If you want to sleep with the inner door slightly open it would be better if the zip finishes at the top so you can leave it slightly open - otherwise you will have more risk of bugs crawling in. Tbh would have been better with a two way zip. The door at the front again only has one way zips but also the fabric to cover the zips is very narrow and the Velcro equally is rather skimpy so I am not sure if it was lashing down with rain if this will be a weak point for water ingress. I am a bit baffled by the front door. The netting is on the front which I am not sure when it rains if it will let rain through; it is backed by some tent material so we will see if that is enough. Seems daft to me I would have thought a roll up cover on the front over the netting would be essential - as rain is forecast most of the week I’m leaving it pitched to see how it fairs and will post again. I am a youth leader looking for a tent I could stand in without it being massive and a nice porch area I can sit and stand in. Plus a sensible weight and pack size and it ticks those boxes. The proof of the pudding will depend on whether those little economies Vango have made will prove to be deal breakers. Update. One night of reasonable rain - rain stayed out - needs a good lashing of rain next.

So it's basically old aura 300 model but without integrate floor. I used to use this model for about 7-8 years and it was fantastic. It's a shame they left all the minuses, and not much of a improvement. But I admit it's very good construction. I'd love to buy new one, as the old is no more waterproof (a lot of full sun exposition) but this floor... :-(((

Which is the better tent.. this or the Cragmor 400? They don't seem very different.

Liked this tent do you have the tiree 350 on display in your shop if so how much is it

The way that door is designed makes me feel like the porch is going to get very wet
