![]() The Odyssey 600 range is exclusive to Amazon, so I am presuming the main drive here was to keep the costs down. On the opposite side of the side-door there is a large PVC window, allowing plenty of light in. The living area is surprisingly big: 9.3 sqm – that is more than plenty for a camping table to sit around. You access the living are through one side-door or the fully meshed main entrance. The bedrooms are darkened (made of a darker material to reduce the morning light). There is 60cm allocated for every person, so it may not be very comfortable over a longer period, not for 6 anyways but can be alright for a weekend or so. You may be able to fit 3 compact size inflatable double mattresses inside if the divider is down, or a double and a single in each room. The bedroom is 360cm wide, separated to two units by a toggled divider. On the other hand, it could provide a better ventilation across the tent, so it is very unlikely that you’d find any condensation inside. Also meaning that it is not attached to the flysheet, so make sure you have a good mosquito buzzer because they WILL find their way in. ![]() The groundsheet is linked in, meaning that you can unlink it, roll it up and tuck it underneath the bedroom when you don’t need it. The flysheet can withstand 4000mm rainwater before starting to leak, all seams are taped. The flysheet is made of a fabric called Sentinel Active Plus, that is a 70D thick high-quality material. Vango tents can withstand winds up to 60 km/h, which is impressive. Stability is one of the greatest selling points of any Vango air tent: they all have a Tension Band System, which are strategically placed straps/bands inside the tent that make the structure much more ‘rigid’. Pre-angled beams allow maximising the interior space and increase stability. What is obvious at first glance is that the Odyssey 600 is a 3-beam construction with pre-angled beams. I have recommended them numerous times before (in this and this article), because they are one of the bests on the market in terms of value for money. ![]() Let’s start with the Odysseys, there are two of them straight away. If you are looking for more options and trying to find the best air tents for 6, or even for 4 persons (and that’s why you are looking at 6-berth tents), have a look at this: Best Air Tents in 2020 Vango Odyssey 600 and 600SC I called this post ‘Part 1’, in an attempt limit the number of Vango air tents reviewed in one article, so to try not to make things even more confusing… Having said that, I have created a table to compare the basic details of each tent discussed below, click here to go straight to the table: In this review I am looking at 6-person Vango air tents in detail. So many, that in fact, I sometimes struggle to spot the difference between their product lines. Years later, they have a massive selection of airbeam tents under many names such as Amalfi, Odyssey, Icarus and so on. They were probably the first to come out with the air-filled beam design, and certainly were the pioneers of the technology. When it comes to inflatable tents, there is one company that pops to mind instantly: Vango.
