Vango Longleat Air 800XL Tent Treetops

Product Information

Mesh Flysheet Door - Entrance has a sewn in full mesh door which provides ventilation and keeps bugs out when the flysheet door is rolled away The Quechua Air Seconds 8.4 underwent wind tunnel testing as well, and Quechua claims it can withstand Force 7 winds. The clear winner of this section is the Eurohike Genus 800, hugely because it is smaller than the others, thus lighter, easier to handle and erect. The Vango Longleat II 800 XL scored 7 points across 4 categories, coming in at a steady 1st or 2nd place everywhere. In other words: this tent is not large, but it makes it less bulky. There’s just enough communal area, and there’s just enough sleeping space for 8.

There are various air vents to keep a steady airflow across the tent. Despite that, condensation is still something that you can expect, but otherwise the Berghaus Air 8 is sound. Quechua Air Seconds 8.4 F&B Fully Sewn-in Groundsheet - Adds to the comfort of your tent by providing a bug and draught free environment. The groundsheet is attached to the flysheet with an external storm skirt to provide all round protection So it’s a bit subjective, and I must emphasise that all 4 tents provide adequate protection from the elements. The Berghaus brings what’s expected at this price range, but it does not have any inner tension system etc. The Eurohike Genus 800 is at the other end, but it is a bit unfair as the Eurohike Genus 800 never wanted to compete against the others in weather protection. In this post I have reviewed and compared four popular 8-person air tents against each other. These four happen to be the vis-a-vis type 8-person air tents, where you have a symmetrical design: the bedrooms face each other, enclosing a living space at the middle of the tent. The 8-person tunnel tents, like the Coleman Weathermaster 8XL, or the Outdoor Revolution Ozone 8.0 will not be discussed here. The Best 8-person Air Tent

On the other hand, 2000mm HH means that the fabric can withstand a water column of 2 metres every square centimetre. Quite surprisingly the Berghaus Air 8 scored 11 points, leaving it at the 4th place of this little league table. Yes, it’s large, but it’s also extremely bulky and heavy, takes longer to pitch and it’s the most expensive on this list. If you don’t want to buy a Eurohike Genus 800, this is your second cheapest option. There are still a few compromises you’ll have to make; however, it depends on how many people will stay in this tent.

The groundsheet is sewn in, plus it is attached to the flysheet with an external storm skirt to give all-round protection. The Eurohike Genus 800 is smaller than the rest of the air tents in this comparison, which gives it the edge when it comes to weight, transport and pitching.
