Besides the large mesh door panel, the sunlight can get in through two PVC see-through windows; however, these do not open. As the Air 400 does not have a 2 nd side door, nor a window on that wall, so the dark blue panel made me feel a wee-bit ‘enclosed’; and the Eurohike Air 400 can feel smaller than it actually is. The Eurohike Genus 400 comes in a 73 x 35 x 28cm carrybag. The pump is included in the bag, which weighs just under 10 kgs without the pump. The are 3 air beams to inflate, the beams inflate separately. If you wanted to save some time, you could invest in an electric pump, such as this one by Kampa that I can fully recommend – you just set the psi and watch the tent inflating. Tent Carpet: there is a triple layer tent carpet available. It features a soft fleece upper and foam mid-section for underfoot warmth and comfort, and a tough waterproof base to protect the carpet against abrasion and the damp groundsheet. Verdict (Pros & Cons) Pros:

You can find a detailed, head-to-head comparison of Eurohike Air 400 vs. Eurohike Genus 400 vs Berghaus Air 4 (and two more entry level small family tents) here: cms is not a lot, there are 4-person tents that give you a bit more space (up to 75cm for each), but sadly, 60 cm per head is not unusual…The bedroom divider can be removed if you’d rather have one big bedroom. As a matter of fact, the whole ‘inner tent’ can be removed if you needed more living space during the day.

Because there is only one door and the large PVC windows cannot be opened, the Eurohike Genus 400 can get really warm inside in the summer. On the other hand, thanks to the light-grey flysheet, it feels bright and less depressing than other tents with the dark indigo blue fabric. Weather protection, fabrics Flysheet There are good reports on the wind-stability of the Eurohike Genus 400; however, there are always a lot of other factors that can affect the stability of the tent in high winds, not just the tent itself. The airbeams are robust yet flexible, and the Genus 400 does not have big flat surfaces where wind-drag could become an issue. The Eurohike Genus 400 has a polyester flysheets with a waterproof coating. The magic number is 3000mm HH which is short for Hydrostatic Head – it is enough to know that it is waterproof. What you also need to be aware of, is that this coating can break down under UV light; basically sunlight. So with time it may lose it’s water-proof properties.

The Eurohike Air 400 sits on a 465cm x 265 cm footprint, and it is 195cms high at its highest point. This size is pretty average for a 4-berth tent, there are bigger tents and there are smaller too – most notably the biggest competitor of the Air 400, the Eurohike Genus 400 (reviewed here) is slightly smaller.

Spoiler alert: there are alternatives worth considering – see also: Eurohike Genus 400 Air vs Berghaus Air 4 vs Eurohike Air 400) Eurohike Genus 400 Review 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 fabric itself is thin and lightweight – it is easy to carry, but it may not be as durable as you’d like it to be. Feels a bit dark inside. Strongly suggested to get hold of a footprint and/or a carpet to protect the groundsheet, so this add-on should be considered. Having said that, even with the add-ons the Air 400 remains one of the cheapest 4 person air tents. Where to buy the EuroHike Air 400

As you enter the tent, you find approximately 6 sqm living area. 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. In terms of ‘living room size’ it is very decent – some much more expensive 4-person tents have smaller living room (see this post here for more than one example: 4-Person Air Tents (Mid-range)) ; however, the porch area is minimal. As for other products within the Eurohike Air range ie accessories, replacement parts; there are a few choices. Of course, you can buy air tubes and valves in case something goes wrong, however in case a beam leaks air it most likely can be mended temporarily by using the repair kit that is included with the Air 400. The bedroom is 240 cms wide and 210 cms long, suitable for 4 persons on people, recommended for two. Pitching
