Ripstop on windows would be great.
East to setup, planty of room, 2.2m high is very good. Very good air flow but no ripstop on internal windows, so the dust and sand were able to get in through the windows.
Purchased in November 2021 at BlackWolf for A$599.00.

Fantastic quality and SUPER user friendly
I was tossing up between an instant up turbo 300 and this one, in the end this model went on sale and I couldn't pass the price.
It was a great decision. As my partner isn't a fan of camping I often take our two young girls with friends. I needed something I could set up on my own, and something decent quality, I didn't want to be replacing it right away.
This is extremely easy to set up (even for a girl), more so than they lead me to believe. My friends and I were all amazed. Now they want one! The pump is great quality and it needed very ...Read more
few pumps to be inflated. I was wary the poles were going to pop or be easily puntured, after all whose heard of a blow up tent? These poles are very durable and once inflated very strong. Felt as strong as all the others. I was amazed how it just popped up after a few pumps and then I just had to peg the fly, which comes all attached. Easily up there with the 30 second tents and even quicker to deflate! It also fit very easily back into the bag! I did pay attention to how it came out of the bag and packed it the same. Although a big bag (approx 90x 50cms) it fits in my car where as the instant 300 (with poles) would not, meaning I also needed to invest in some roof racks! Also have to mention great space inside and at 220cms high it doesn't feel claustrophobic in the slightest, large side windows let alot of airflow through too. If I had to fault it, it would be that the awning doesn't have full sides, nor do I believe they are available to buy, and the other models don't fit it. I plan on somehow fixing a tarp to one side to act as a wind break and shelter. If I am wrong and side pieces are available for this model I'd love to hear!

Anyone having issues with air tents ripping out eyelet on awning, slightly bent awning pole? Ive used 16 nights on two trips and now advised its end of life and will provide a refund????
1 answer
I have had 2 repairs on mine now, one was the eyelet on the awning, due to extreme winds, it was ripped out, the rest of the tent them deflated and abandoned for the night as it wouldn't have made it through, and the other was set up related, but a ripped side wall as it was blown up with a twist in the pole, the pole came apart from the tent.
I have found after 2 years of owning, it is not good in any wind, or during winter time as it is never fully sealed with the top section under the fly being open mesh, but fantastic in warm weather, still love the ease of set up, but I did have to borrow a friends tent for our trip up the coast as we couldn't be sure it would hold up if there was any wind.
Not good for you, but at least they are willing to provide a refund. good luck with the next tent!

recently purchased one of these tents. I found it took quite a while to erect, despite the air pole frame, but it was the first and only time I have erected one and I was on my own. The space is awesome, like really awesome! The quality seems pretty good at this stage. My one disappointment is that the internal windows are mesh only. There is ripstop blinnd and mesh main door, and the same on all the fly windows, but nothing on the two side and one rear internal windows?? WT?! So even on a summer night, things get pretty breezy inside there. There are large vent panels in the roof, so wind comes under the fly, in through the internal windows and thn those vents act like a chimney, quickly echanging air inside the tent. Which of course would be amazing in a tropical setting, but it sucks in an alpine setting I can tell you. Im not sure what they were thinking with this one. Just put the ripstop on the internal windows and give people the option!
