![]() Pack size of the tent and pump is good.We loved the oversized bag, which made packing the tent away easy.The Solaris is a truly excellent tent, and we’re already looking forward to camping in it again! What We Liked This is definitely much more than just the weekend tent we thought it would be, and we’d have no hesitation in using this for our longer camping trips. We think the Solaris is perfect for anyone wanting to invest in a high quality AirBeam tent, and it provides ample space for couples who glamp, or for smaller families. The Solaris is ideal for when my health doesn’t allow me to help with pitching too, as the AirBeam tent is super easy for one person to put up on their own. The manufacturing quality is excellent, as you’d expect from Vango, and we loved the abundant clever design features (see our pictures below).Īfter using the Solaris, we are absolute converts to AirBeam tents, and certainly won’t be sad to see the back of pole tents (apart from our beloved bell tent of course!). It’s also a great place to retreat to away from the hot sun, and from rain showers too and we experienced some real extremes in weather over the weekend, and were incredibly grateful to have a covered outdoor area. The addition of the front porch provided extra living space, perfect for summer evenings. The addition of the front porch is brilliant, and effectively added to the amount of overall usable living space, and the height of the tent is great too, helping it to feel nice and big. I previously owned a Vango Icarus 500, with an additional extension, which I used happily for many years, and the Solaris is an ideal, slightly bigger replacement. The tent worked very well for us, and even with our usual furniture, camp kitchen and so on, the tent never felt at all cramped. We were pleasantly surprised however and found the tent extremely spacious. Having looked at the dimensions, we weren’t convinced the Solaris would be big enough for our usual needs, and expected it to only be suitable for short weekend trips.
