This PAKICETUS tent pitches with air instead of poles. Inflate the integrated air columns and they form the support frame, which means no threading, no clipping, and no wrestling with a bag of fibreglass sections in the wind. Four sizes are offered, from a compact single-door model at 12 kg to a 12 square metre group tent, including one with an extended tail that connects to the back of a vehicle. Polyester fabric with reinforced stitching handles sun, wind, and rain, and the whole thing deflates and folds back into a single bag.
The air columns are the structure. Inflate them and the tent stands up on its own, which turns pitching into one job one person can do rather than a two-person puzzle.
The basic single-door model suits one or two people travelling light. The upgraded version adds wind and rain performance. The 12 square metre model is built for groups who need room to sit out a wet afternoon indoors.
The 6+6 extended tail model is shaped to meet the back of a vehicle, joining car and tent into one space. For road trips that turns your boot into part of the living area.
Thickened polyester resists tearing and abrasion, and every seam uses reinforced stitching. The fabric is also chosen to hold air pressure properly, which is what keeps an inflatable tent standing firm rather than sagging overnight.
Deflate, fold, done. The smallest model packs to 70 x 36 x 31 cm at 12 kg, so it fits a car boot without taking the whole thing.

Inflating the integrated air columns forms the support frame. Once they are up, the tent holds its own shape.
A pump is not listed in the supplier data. Contact us before ordering if you need one, since the tent cannot be pitched without it.
The single-door models suit one or two people, the extended tail model suits vehicle camping, and the 12 square metre model is for groups. Compare the stated dimensions to be sure.
From 12 kg for the basic model up to 22 kg for the large space model.
Its tail section is shaped to connect to the rear of a vehicle, joining the car and tent into a single covered space.
The airtight design is intended to deflate slowly, but as with any inflatable it is worth checking the pressure and topping up if needed.
It is described as water-resistant, but no rating in millimetres is provided, so we would not rely on it in sustained heavy rain.
Green and khaki, depending on the model.
Inflate it and it stands. Add it to your cart and get the tent up before the kettle boils.
