Are you looking for a 5 man tent or are you expecting to fit 5 men in it?
Just that the icarus is a great little weekend tent 15 mins to put up but i wouldnt want to sleep 5 in it. Please tell us who will be in it, so we can help a bit better

4 people, I have 2 young kids, i had a 5 man vango for 10 years and it slept 4 easy, cost wise if i could keep it under £170 that would be fine, not looking for carpet or any extras for this one.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
