Vango Joro Air 450 Eco Dura Airbeam Tent 2023 (Incl. Footprint)

Product Information

The name Joro has been in Vango’s range for a couple of seasons and for the new season they have brought it into the Eco Dura collection which is all about making the tent quick and easy to pitch while adding some premium features. The Joro Air Eco comes in two sizes (450 & 600XL), so you can easily choose how many you need to accommodate. The Airbeams are pre-angled to maximize internal room inside the tent and can be pumped up in seconds. A manual pump is supplied as well as a range of decent pegs. The tent is separated into three main areas; a sleeping area that can accommodate up to six people (four people for the 450) and there is a divider to allow privacy. The main living area is spacious enough which means on a rainy day you have enough room to feel comfortable and the front awning offers a great area to cook or leave your muddy shoes and boots before entering the lovely, clean-living area. The front awning door can be arranged into three positions (fully open, semi-open or closed) which means that you can use the area to suit your needs. The side door has the option to be used as a canopy by buying some king poles.

The Joro Air sits in Vango’s new Eco Dura Collection which has been designed to be environmentally friendly and durable. The entire range is made from single use plastics and every tent has an equivalent plastic bottle total to help show what Vango can create from just a small amount of waste. Vango has combined this concept with their Dura method of weaving the fabric to increase the strength of the material without having to increase the thickness of the thread. The Eco fabric has a waterproof rating of 4,000mm HH and UV protection factor of UPF30+; if this wasn’t enough the fabric also has ColourLok which aids colour retention from UV light.

Due to the lightweight Eco Dura Fabric, it means that the weight of the tent is only just over 31kg which is impressive when you think how big it is. The Joro Eco couldn’t be easier to pitch thanks to Vango’s S.I Pro (Single Point Inflation), simply peg out the base of the tent, pump it up from one point (or let an electric pump do it for you) and guy the tent out. This whole process has been demonstrated by Mike in our own YouTube videos (as seen in the link below). Even though the tent can be pumped up from one point it has multiple deflation points to make packing away the tent a doddle; this is also helped by the Smart Pack Bag which gives you the option of compressing the tent before zipping it into the bag.
