AIR VS POLED SUMMARY

Both work well but it depends how you camp.

Choose an Inflatable Tent if you want:

  • quick, stress-free pitching
  • fewer poles and less faff
  • a tent designed for comfortable camping and longer stays

Choose a Poled Tent if you want:

  • something more budget-friendly
  • a slightly more traditional style
  • you don’t mind spending longer pitching

Many campers switch to air tents simply because they make life easier on site.
