The Vango Beta 550XL 5-man tent has been updated with darker bedrooms to reduce the summer morning light. The tunnel tent design maximises the internal tent space relative to pack size. At approximately 2m high, 4.7m long and over 3m wide, the tent is deceptively large and spacious. The sleeping space will comfortably accommodate 5 people, and the porch provides ample room for sheltered sitting and storage. Recommended by the Scout Association, the Beta features our robust ProTex® Shield Flysheet (3,000mm HH), and comes in a FastPack Carry Bag, allowing a quick strike and pack before the rain comes on.
