Just been to Winfields near Redditch to see the new Vango Airbeam tents, and have to say I am impressed! The poles are much bigger than I realised they would be but seem just as sturdy as any other type, and in fact the tents (the smaller Velocity and the larger Infinity) seemed to be doing pretty well in today's horrible windy, rainy weather. (That said, I imagine they have probably taken care to pitch them as well as possible, where it sometimes feels like they haven't taken quite so much care over some of the other tents!)
Inside, the Infinity felt very spacious (it's very tall!) and nicely made - and dark! The only thing I just don't understand about these tents is the lack of windows - it would be fine in good weather when you can have both doors open, but in poor weather it's very gloomy inside with just one not very large window (there may have been one window on each side, but even if there was, it was still very dark inside the tent).
All in all a stylish, well-made, sturdy tent, which might have tempted me if only it had more windows! it will certainly be interesting to see what developments happen over time as people buy and use them.
