The tent doesn't come with a separate ground sheet - I'll definitely buy one before our next trip as the floor material is very thin. Finally, as the air beams are a little flimsy, they move around despite being pegged. This means that the tension on the rest of the tent varies - making it difficult at times to open and close the door zips. Try too hard, and the thin walling is liable to tear. Lastly, insects will easily find their way in, so it is essential to get a decent bug zapper, insect repellent lamp or other means of keeping the bugs out. I would recommend the Air Genus 800 for families or groups of up to 8 members for weekends away and to a lesser extent, longer breaks. If you are thinking of getting one for your family holiday, or you are planning on camping / going to festivals with your friends, then the Air Genus 800 is a smart choice. This only me moaning all the time. I guess one can’t have everything, especially not for this price, but I did not mind if the living area was slightly bigger. In my naïve world I presumed that if someone designed an 8-men tent, the living area would be slightly bigger. I just think that it is simply not the greatest space to spend a lot of time in, but it does the job…As opposed to most of other tents, the living area is not for the campers to spend a lot of time in. You most likely will use it as a storage and a shelter if it starts raining.

I am trying not to repeat myself, but if you consider how much a traditional 8-man tent costs, yet alone an 8-men inflatable tent, it is easier to make those compromises with the Airgo Air Genus 800. Thirdly, don’t expect to be able to keep your dog inside, they will easily find their way out as soon as they smell the BBQ from the tent next door.

An easily-pitched inflatable tent for up to eight, ideal for comfy weekends away with family or friends.

The material the product is made from is often a sign of the quality for Inflatable Tents. Take a look at the product details over at Go Outdoors to get a feel for this. Its simple layout has two spacious bedrooms that face each other on either side of a generous central hall/living area. I'm a big fan of inflatable tents after having borrowed a Berghaus Air 8 last year. I bought this Airgo for a last minute camping trip Easter 2019. Great price, available for collection locally, and good spec.

You find 10 ground level peg points and 10 high level guy lines, that’s 20 pegs altogether – I bet they take up the better part of the 13.6 kg total weight. Weather Resilience I'd love to see a porch that could be used with the tent, but as an interim measure I'll be buying some awning poles. An easily-pitched inflatable tent for up to eight, ideal for comfy weekends away with family or friends. Easy to pitch with inflatable air beams When buying Inflatable Tents, the quality of the product is going to be one of the factors that you really scrutinise before you commit to buying.

Having said that, you’d probably better budget for some extra accessories to make your stay much more comfortable and memorable for the right reasons. These must-have accessories are for example, but not limited to: There are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it. The tent is clearly made to a price though. Its a third of the cost of the Berghaus, and it shows! The size is about the same (although spec tells me its slightly smaller), but the materials are not to the same quality. The air beams are fairly flimsy, but functional. The pump that comes with the tent is very basic - including a pressure regulator to prevent over inflation, but no dial to show the pressure. The pump tube must be pushed onto the air beam rather than clipped to it. This was VERY frustrating when blowing the tent up - you need a second person to hold the tube in place or it flies off. The Berghaus pump clips in place, and has a pressure dial so you know how you're doing.

The ‘T’ refers to the thread count (T), which is the number of threads used horizontally and vertically per square inch of fabric … 210T means a total of 210 threads. A higher thread count represents a greater density and tighter weave in the fabric. For this reason you will often find lower Denier fabrics (with a ‘thinner’ thread) have a higher thread count. Not in this case, 185T is a very low thread number. This means that polyester tents can get very hot when it is warm, and chilly when it gets cold. With the limited number of air vents, and the limited option to create a drought across the tent, the Air Genus would likely become baking hot in the summer, and rather cold in cooler seasons. Groundsheet To give that price some context we then looked at all of the products available from Go Outdoors in the Inflatable Tents category. We found 5 items in total. What’s the price of Inflatable Tents? The Airgo Air Genus 800 is probably the most popular inflatable tent (air tent) right now, along with its smaller sibling the Air Genus 400. The Air Genus 800 is an 8 person inflatable tent, that has very promising features (ie. Weather resilience, set-up speed, weight) and comes at a very affordable price. However, there are a few things that should be considered before you invest in the Air Genus 800. I should also add, that there’s very little information on the fabric and flysheet used by the Eurohike Genus 800. While Airgo openly admitted the low-end fabrics they used to keep the Air Genus 800 cheap, I can only assume that the Eurohike Genus 800 is not much of an improvement in this regard.
