It is big enough for two camping chairs and a smaller camping table, while you can still maintain comfortable access to the rooms and have some gear stored as well. Inside the Eurohike Air 400Īs you enter the tent, you find approximately 6 sqm living area. It is not just completely waterproof but protects the groundsheet and helps retaining the heat. The bespoke footprint is a must: it is designed specifically to protect the underside of the tent. The ground sheet has a waterproof rating of 3000mm HH, it is fully sewn in and seam-taped for complete waterproofing. That means a tent with a 4,000mm rating will endure a 4,000mm or four metre column of water bearing down on it before it starts to leak. These figures indicate the amount of water pressure a fabric can withstand. Waterproof ratings are measured in millimetres (mm) and usually fall anywhere from 800mm to 10,000 mm. The Eurohike Air 400 features a 4000mm HH flysheet, which should be enough to prevent water leaking in during heavy rains, and should remain waterproof in light snowing too.

The side door has not got a secondary mesh panel. It is very common in this category to have only one side door (the Airgo Air Genus 400 for example does not have a side door at all). You can enter into the tent using the large mesh door at the front, or the smaller door on the side that can folds flat. The tent is secured to the ground by steel pegs and high visibility (red) guy lines that have a high and a low connection point on the air beams. To make deflation speedy as well, the valves on the air beams are spring-loaded quick-release valves. In real life, it is probably a bit more (15-17 minutes) at first, but no doubt you can push below 10 minutes with practice. According to Blacks’ own estimate, inflating takes around 10-12 minutes from taking it out from the bag, using the hand pump and securing the last of the steel pegs. The pump – included with the tent – is double action and you can connect an electric pump too, so set-up can be really fast.
