Iris 500 Poled Camping Tent (5 Person)

The Vango Iris 500 is a five-person tunnel tent built around practical features that matter on site. You're getting two separate bedrooms with Lights-Out fabric that actually blocks early morning sun, each providing roughly 60cm sleeping width per person. There's a toggled divider between the rooms that you can remove to create one larger space if needed. The living area uses diamond clear windows positioned to maximise light, whilst high and low ventilation panels create airflow to reduce condensation. A cable entry point with tidies handles electric hook-up cables, and the front opens with king poles (not included) that prop the door outward to form a canopy. Pitching involves threading Powerflex Fibreglass poles through sleeves then tensioning everything using the adjustable pegging system, which compensates for uneven ground. The TBS II Tension Band System braces poles at three points to reduce sideways movement during gusts, and pre-angled poles increase internal headroom whilst providing wind resistance. Sentinel Essential fabric is rated at 3,000mm hydrostatic head with fully taped seams, backed up by a sewn-in groundsheet that creates a sealed surroundings from below. High-visibility guylines transition from tent colour to bright orange at ground level for enhanced visibility. The tent comes with an oversized carry bag offering 50% more volume than standard designs, making repacking easier after your trip. At 14.2kg with a typical 15-minute pitch time (longer first time round), it's a solid option for family camping where you need separate sleeping spaces and decent weather protection. Meets EN5912 fire-retardant standards.
