How long does it take to pitch?

Most owners inflate the beams and peg out in well under half an hour once they know the layout. Two people make it faster, especially in wind.

Does it come with a pump?

Outwell sells the tent without a pump in many bundles. Check the box contents and buy a compatible hand or electric pump if one is not included.

Can it stand up to wind and rain?

The polyester flysheet and taped seams handle steady rain well. In strong wind, guy out every point and pitch the tunnel end into the wind, as air-beam tents flex more than poled ones.

How many people does it really sleep?

Five people fit, but the living area shrinks with five sleeping bags in the inner. Four adults or a family with children get a more comfortable split between sleeping and living space.

Is the groundsheet sewn in?

The polyethylene groundsheet is sewn into the sleeping area, so no draughts or water come up through the floor. The awning area is open to the ground.

How does it compare with a poled tunnel tent?

It pitches faster and has no poles to lose or bend, but it is heavier and packs larger than a comparable poled tent. Choose it for convenience, not for backpacking.

Our take on the Outwell Colorado 5 Air

The Outwell Colorado 5 Air is a five-person inflatable tunnel tent with a built-in awning that covers the front door. Air beams replace poles, so pitching is a matter of inflating and pegging rather than threading fibreglass. The polyester flysheet and inner are breathable, with ventilation panels to limit condensation, and the sewn-in polyethylene groundsheet keeps the sleeping area dry. It suits families or small groups who want a roomy living area and quick setup, and it competes with other inflatable five-berth tunnel tents on living space and porch coverage rather than on weight.

Best forFamilies of four to five on weekend or week-long campsCampers who want a fast inflatable pitchGroups who value a covered front porchFair-weather and three-season car camping
