Hi

Does anyone know anything about the vango aura 400? Like the look of it but there don't seem to be many reviews around?

Thanks

I've just bought one of these! Only yesterday though so can't tell you what they're like.

Like you I couldn't find hardly any reviews. Was deciding between this and the Icarus 400 but for some reason I was drawn to the Aura. The design looks good and anything is a step up from the embarrassment-of-a-tent we were using!

I got it for a little over half price too which was a bonus! I think my thoughts were if the RRP is higher then it's going to be better which is why I picked it over the Icarus.

It is semi-geodesic, so should stand up to winds a little better, although the Icarus do have the TBS which is supposed to address that particular issue.

Anyway, looks good enough to me - nice, neat good looking tent - hope you get lots of fun out of it!

Yeah, I checked out the lack of TBS on the Aura and they said it's because it's semi-geodesic it doesn't need it (or shouldn't need it!), whereas the Icarus is a tunnel so needs the extra support. Anything has to be a step up from the awful Rage tent we've been using!

Lets hope that it's as good as it looks!
