Supporting your Spirit of Adventure, whatever the weather!
As always, there are as many places reporting that we are going to have the hottest summer on record as there are saying it will be the wettest. However, there is one thing you can be sure of, Vango tents and awnings are designed to take on a variety of weather. So come what may, you'll have the most suitable gear for the conditions.
Below are some key design features to consider when picking your tent or awning this summer...
5 great features for hot and sunny weather...
1: TC - Technical Polycotton
Quality and durable fabric which combines the leading properties of both cotton and polyester to create a rich polycotton fabric. Sentinel TC is breathable and climate controlling, helping to keep the tent cooler when the weather is hot, and warmer in cold conditions.
2: AirZone Ventilation
Ventilation panels create a comfortable flow of air through the tent. Air circulation is essential for reducing condensation.
3: Mesh Windows or Doors
Integrated mesh panels that increase the flow of air within your tent whilst keeping bugs out!
4: ColourLok/ColourLok Eco
Our ColourLok dying technology used in the fabric increases colour retention and protection against UV light. Our ColourLok Eco fabrics also use up to 60% less water in the dying process.
5: Darkened Bedrooms
Lights-Out Bedrooms are darkened to help to reduce early morning light further than standard tent bedrooms. Whereas, our Midnight bedrooms are made using a premium darkened fabric to help ensure a restorative nights sleep.

4: Excellent Waterproofing
Hydrostatic Head (HH) is the waterproof rating of fabrics. Our tents start at 3,000mmHH which means the fabric can withstand a 3-metre-tall tube of water on top before seeping through.
Some of our awnings go up to 6,000mmHH!
5: Sewn-in Groundsheets
Sewn-in groundsheets with storm skirts, help to reduce draughts, keep bugs out and prevent and water running into the tent or awning.
