If any harm comes to the tent and AirBeams a repair kit is supplied. During the blue skied exceptionally sunny days that the tent was also left out the exterior material hasn't faded. The ProTex 4000mm 70D polyester flysheet is versatile and boldly waterproof as the specifications imply the 4000mm water column is high and will provide shelter from fast and heavy downpours. We've left ours out in the wilderness and pitched for well over a month, and even with exceptionally harsh winds and heavy rain it hasn't stumbled into any trouble. The structure of the Velocity is rigid and rugged, with the Vango patented TBS II (Tension Band System), which uses internal webbing and then reflective guy ropes to harness an even more definite and secure structure alongside the AirBeams, undoubtably standing its own against pole based tents. We'd recommend not putting the pump back into the bag as it makes things tight and difficult, keeping it separate speeds up and eases the process. We had a few attempts at getting the tent back into the bag with the pegs and the pump itself, but in the end we succeeded. When it came to taking the the tent down it was quick too, the supplied pump deflates as well as inflates and this ensures the AirBeams are tightly deflated and that the tent can be folded up and stored within the supplied bag neatly but not necessarily quickly. We managed to pitch the tent in around three minutes, so a minute less than that already attractive Vango claim. Literally just a few pumps, which take around ten-fifteen seconds, and an AirBeam is fully inflated.

The inflating process is very rewarding and gloriously quick the beams, one by one, build the tent's structure! The Vango Velocity does come with a supplied pump with pressure gauge which the manual states should reach 7psi and not exceed 8psi in pressure for every beam. The setup process went like this: lay the tent out on the ground in the direction desired, peg all four corners of the tent (more than enough pegs supplied), access inflating points which are found under zipped doorways, then pump each AirBeam individually and peg guy ropes. We unpacked the tent from the supplied zipped bag with handles, attached the reflective guy ropes, inserted the sleeping area to the interior and put four minutes on the stop watch App. It's priced at around the £300-£441 mark on .uk. It uses a technology called AirBeam which harnesses the tent's structure via simply pumping up three inflatable beams. That's why this tent, the Vango Velocity 400, really captured our expectations of nimble and simplistic pitching when it popped into our studio and claimed it could be pitched in four minutes.
The facilities used to shelter from the outdoors play a key role in camping, and complicated and highly time consuming tents to pitch could dwarf the regularity of those participating within this activity.
