About this product
Automatic Tent – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.
A 470 cm tunnel with a covered porch at each end, a self-supporting quick-pitch frame, and 190 cm of standing height.
The Village 5.0 is a tent you move into rather than crawl into. End to end it is 470 cm: a 240 cm sleeping area in the middle with a 115 cm covered vestibule at each end, so boots and packs go under cover at both doors and neither porch is a token one. At 190 cm the peak clears almost everyone standing.
The frame is a one-piece self-supporting aluminium structure that opens quickly, so a tent of this size does not need pole threading. The shell is 210D polyester Oxford rated PU 3000 mm, a heavy cloth chosen for a tent that stays pitched for days rather than one carried up a hill.
It weighs about 14.2 kg and packs into a 90 cm cylinder. That is firmly vehicle territory, which is the point: this is a base-camp tent for a family or a group that sets up once and stays.

Naturehike has retired the Village 5.0 from its international range in favour of the Village 6.0. It remains available through Naturehike regional distributors, and spares are correspondingly harder to source than for current models.
