Anyways, I encourage you and everyone to comment and share their experience with any particular tent, even if it’s just a few words it can be really valuable for others. This is the very low-end in every aspect, so if you plan to use the Rydal 500 over more than one seasons, make sure to re-proof it next year if you want to stay dry.

The Vango Icarus 500 is very similar to the Eurohike Rydal 500 – detailed review of the Vango Icarus 500 can be found here.There will be some products that are amazing quality and packed full of additional features or specifications, but do take the time to really get an idea if you need that level of quality or if your budget and needs mean you should get something else.

The tent is easy to pitch with colour coded poles and it has a sewn-in groundsheet to keep out insects and wet weather.The Eurohike Ribble 200 Tent is a lightweight, 2 pole tunnel tent that is perfect for 3 season camping. I strongly recommend the Rydal 500 if you plan a quick camping trip with your partner or with the family, but have little experience in camping. The tents feature multiple entrances and windows, providing excellent ventilation and natural light.

The zipper of the bag is not ‘heavy duty’ so if you force the tent back, the stitching around the zipper might give up eventually. This is of course really helpful, but there’s almost too much information available, so it’s important to know exactly what you’re looking for. Although the zippers are covered so in theory, water would not come through there, but if you wanted to go in and out the tent when it’s pouring down, the rain would fall straight into the tent. In fact, it is a brilliant entry-level tent not just for families, but for everyone from 2-5 people occupancy.The tent comes with a sewn-in groundsheet that protects the tent floor from draughts, insects and groundwater, and reduces heat loss to the ground. Enjoy your holiday, I can’t say I don’t envy you right now, stuck in self-isolation… Good point regarding the Adventure tarp, I think it has come up before on another Eurohike tent review.
