Product Information

On the other hand, polyester does not have great thermal properties: it won’t keep you cool when it’s hot outside and and won’t keep you warm when it’s cold outside. kgs so you don’t really need a wheeled carrybag to transport the Air 400, the handles will do just fine. I don’t think that the other tents, especially the Genus 400 and the Pavillo Sierra Ridge are any different, or more durable. That means a tent with a 4,000mm rating will endure a 4,000mm or four metre column of water bearing down on it before it starts to leak.

Even smaller than the Airgo Air Genus 400, the Vango Skye Air 400 is the ultimate compact 4-person air tent. True for all of these tent, as a rule of thumb, you must get an extra footprint and/or carpet to protect the groundsheet and at the end of every camping season re-proof the flysheet and the seams (as UV light can break down the waterproof layer over time) – I recommend Nikwax for that. The external height of the tent is 190 cms, which you can enjoy almost everywhere within the tent, except for the back of the bedrooms where the headroom is reduced slightly.

The Eurohike Air 400 is ideal for couples and smaller families for a weekend away, or to some extent, for longer trips.

The Genus 400 is a 4-person tent, offering 1 bedroom (cannot be separated to two) that is exactly the same size as the Eurohike’s; however the porch/living room area is slightly smaller and you only have one front door (no side-door). The fabric is 100 % polyester: it is soft and more importantly is breathable, condensation can pass through easier. So they warn you that their tents are designed for ‘occasional use’ for a maximum of 4 weeks per year. Polyester is the most commonly used material for flysheet thanks to the fact that it is lightweight and waterproof, plus it is quick to dry (so it’s less likely you need to pack it away while it’s still wet – and have a mouldy tent that stinks in a few months…).These two have sewn-in groundsheets, while the others have loose that are secured to the flysheet by velcro. If you have a large family camping tent but want a lighter setup for shorter or quicker getaways, then you can’t go far wrong with this cracking air tent. The fabric itself is thin and lightweight – it is easy to carry, but it may not be as durable as you’d like it to be. We found that the inside of the tent was light enough to happily sit around in the living/porch space.
