Product Description

The Vango Beta XL Tent series, the Vango Beta 350XL, 450XL, and 550XL models, represents the peak of innovation and functionality in the field of camping. Each model in this series caters to different group sizes, from the 350XL designed for three campers to the 550XL accommodating up to five people, ensuring that whether you're on a solo expedition or a family outing, there's a Vango Beta tent to suit your needs. The trademark of these tents is the Sentinel Fabric, a specially designed material that not only boasts impressive durability and strength but also features ColourLok technology. This technology not only enhances the fabric's longevity but also ensures that your tent retains its vibrant colour for longer, even under the harsh UV rays of the sun.

The Vango Beta 350XL 3-man tent is perfect for smaller camping groups. Its 3-pole tunnel design affords ample sleeping space and an expansive porch area, perfect for storing camping essentials. The use of the Sentinel Flysheet (3,000mm HH) with ColourLok Eco technology in this tent exemplifies Vango's commitment to sustainability, as this process utilises up to 60% less water in the dyeing process, contributing to environmental conservation. The inclusion of Midnight bedrooms in the design is particularly beneficial for campers who value a good night's sleep, as it significantly reduces morning light intrusion.

Moving up in size, the Vango Beta 450XL 4-man tent is an excellent choice for larger groups. The tunnel tent design efficiently maximises internal space relative to its pack size, comfortably housing four people. This model continues to boast the robust ProTex® Shield Flysheet (3,000mm HH), ensuring durability and resistance to the elements. The spacious porch serves as a sheltered area for both seating and storage, making it a versatile space for various camping activities. Endorsed by the Scout Association, this tent is not only reliable but also Scout-approved, which speaks volumes about its quality and functionality.

The largest of the series, the Vango Beta 550XL 5-man tent, is generous for spaciousness and comfort. Its height, length, and width dimensions create an unexpectedly large and comfortable interior, which, coupled with the darker bedrooms, promises a restful night's sleep even during bright summer mornings. The tent's ample porch area offers a considerable space for sheltered sitting and storage, making it an ideal choice for extended camping trips or larger families. Like its smaller counterparts, the 550XL is equipped with the ProTex® Shield Flysheet (3,000mm HH) and comes in a FastPack Carry Bag, highlighting Vango's commitment to convenience and durability.

The Vango Beta XL Tent series is loaded with features designed for optimal camping experiences. The Vango PowerFlex® Fibreglass Poles create a strong, lightweight structure, while the Mesh Door in the living room door provides improved air circulation and keeps bugs out. The TBS®II Tension Band System ensures the tent performs well even in adverse conditions, particularly in strong winds. The Waterproof PE Groundsheet and Linked-In Groundsheet enhance the tent’s weather resistance and functionality. Diamond Clear Windows and Toggled Privacy Curtains offer a balance of natural light and privacy, while the Clear Access Bedrooms and Toggled Inner Divider provide flexible sleeping options and ease of access.

Additional features like the Adjustable Pegging System, King Size Bedrooms, High Visibility Guylines, Bedroom Pockets, Lantern Hanging Points, and Fire Retardant Fabrics demonstrate Vango's attention to detail in enhancing the camping experience. The tents are fully Wind and Rain Tested, adhering to the EN ISO 5912 standard, ensuring they are suitable for use in wet weather for occasional and weekend camping. The Easy Pack Carry Bag is an added convenience, designed with extra material and volume to make packing away your tent easy. The Midnight Bedrooms, utilising premium darkened fabric, are specially designed for a comfortable night's sleep, rounding off the extensive list of features that make the Vango Beta XL Tent series a top choice for campers seeking quality, durability, and comfort in their outdoor adventures.

Bigger Than You Would Expect

by Laura (07 Sep 2023)

(4/5)

I stayed in a very similar tent owned by a friend, I was so impressed with the size I have now bought a Vango Beta 550xl for myself and my daughter. It is a really good size for a long weekend. Easy to set up once you know how, good amount of guide ropes and also has the TBS®II Tension Band System for windy weather. Handy that the inner compartment can be left in when folded down. The super easy fast pack bag means you don't have to try and fit it in the smallest bag ever! Not really what you want to do be doing after a camping trip. This tent comes with darkened bedrooms, it was a lot cooler than in the main living quarter, also come with a handy divide if you wanted some privacy. The main living part is spacious we managed to fit two adults and two kids camping chairs plus all our bags and still had room for playing card games (yes it did rain one night). The only thing I would love is mesh on both doors. Other than that I cannot wait to do camping trips in it next year. Great beginner tent for us.
