I feel obliged to warn anyone thinking of buying a super-quick erect Airbeam tent - don't do it! Whilst it's lovely and fast to set up, it just doesn't keep the weather out!
We've just had to abandon our tent after only one night of rain and wind. Fast-growing pools of water at the bottom of every beam, water dripping off the window toggles and even spray from the ceiling after each gust of wind!
Got home, sent tent straight back for a refund and ordered a Harewood by Khyam. Please tell me that Khyam tents are more reliable?!

Such a shame though Bevlar as otherwise, we loved the layout and features of the tent. I think with such a high failure rate, Vango should really be offering to recall these tents.
