Loose groundsheet vs sewn-in groundsheet So this Eurohike Genus 400 Air Tent is a tunnel-shaped structure supported with air beams instead of classic poles. One peculiar detail is that its 3 air beams are positioned from outside and you can see them in the pictures. So this is equivalent to those classic tents with poles sleeves from the outside. The Eurohike Air 400 is a small inflatable tent (or air tent) for 4 persons. It is lightweight, compact, easy to inflate and deflate and has decent weather resilience. The strongest contender in this section is the Berghaus Air 4, as Berghaus has an additional porch that is compatible with all Berghaus air tents. Bear in mind though, that the Berghaus porch is almost as expensive as the tent itself.

I reviewed the previous generation Genus 800 in this post and later updated it to the current model: Airgo Air Genus 800 Review True for all of these tent, as a rule of thumb, you must get an extra footprint and/or carpet to protect the groundsheet and at the end of every camping season re-proof the flysheet and the seams (as UV light can break down the waterproof layer over time) – I recommend Nikwax for that.
