Vango Icarus 300

[Beth]

Just a quick initial review of my new Icarus 300, put this ex-display model up easily in under 10mins, alone in fairly strong wind and light rain. Have to say I'm thoroughly pleased with this purchase, and for the price of the tent, I feel it was well worth buying a display model (£59). When the sun shows up again I'll take some photo's (if this is even the right place for them!) and post a better review once the tent has been capming with me in August. Looking a little mis-shapen on very uneven ground, but I'm not sure it'll affect the performance of the tent too much! Loving the sewn-in groundsheet already!

*Watch me for an update!*

What I like about Icarus 300 is that, this tent has an extra room and it also have few pockets where you can store some of your things.

Here's the update I promised; the tent is fantastic. The sewn-in groundsheet mimicked a water-bed due to extreme rainfall overnight but saved us a soaking, and minus a small tear in the front panel, not a mark to show for the battering it took. I will say that, as a tunnel tent, it is certainly not ideal for open areas prone to high winds, however it stood up to a week of it without faltering. I can only say how impressed I am with this tent.
