Eurohike Rydal 400 Air with Bedroom and Separate Living Area, 4 Man Tent, Inflatable Tent for 4 People, Camping Equipment

Product Information

The fabric is 100 % polyester: it is soft and more importantly is breathable, condensation can pass through easier. Though as soon as the sun shines through the large mesh front door, it felt fine; and I began to value the shading that the full, dark panel provides. If you position your tent smartly, it can give decent shading almost throughout the day. Other manufacturers would not recommend ‘frequent use’ ie. more than a few weeks across the whole year. UV light of the sun can (will) break down the waterproof coating, so if you pitch the Rydal 500 in your garden in May, it is likely that it will lose some or most of its waterproof coating by the end of summer. Eurohike Rydal 500 Porch In view of its declared capacity and the area which is 181 ft² (16.8 m²), you have 30.2 ft² (2.8 m²) per person. So this is very generous for 6 people and this tent is a luxurious option for family camping. But the floor plan above shows that the two sleeping rooms are quite narrow for 6 people although you have indeed enough place for 6 pads on the floor.

Polyester is lightweight but not breathable if there is a coating applied, so condensation is going to be an issue especially with a sewn-in groundsheet. 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. 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. 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: 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. There is one side-door too. 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). If you prefer a quiet corner, without the kids running right across the ‘living room’, then that’s fine; but if you need easy access from all sides than you should consider this! The side door has not got a secondary mesh panel.

Eurohike Rydal 500 Review

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. Doors

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 The shell fabric is polyester with 2000 mm waterproof rating. The floor is fully sewn-in and sealed, and the inner rooms are with their additional floor so you have two layers in that area. Seams are taped throughout the shell and the floor. This all is good enough for normal weather conditions in a 3-season use.The Eurohike Rydal 500 is quite lightweight and easy to carry in its carrybag. It weighs only 14.6 kgs, and the carrybag is not bigger than 75cm x 33cm x 33cm, so it fits into the smaller boots too, or you can put it in the roofbox if you’d like to. 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 PVC windows are with flaps from inside, you only have toggles so there are no many options to chose at what height to position them. Ventilation Note that this structure is put up in one go, so you do not set the inner and outer tents separately; the inner is preattached, but it is removable. The setup is really easy with such a design and with the simple poles structure. Poles So let’s have a look at the features and some of the most common issues with the Eurohike Rydal 500 Who is the Eurohike Rydal 500 For?

The poles are fiberglass, so this is not a particularly strong material which needs some care. You have color coding for an easy pitching, and all three poles are of different length. The doors and windows The ground sheet has a waterproof rating of 3000mm HH, it is fully sewn in and seam-taped for complete waterproofing. On the other hand, there is a bespoke footprint for the Eurohike Rydal 500. I must be bought separately but it is rather inexpensive so I strongly recommend getting one. (Rydal 500 footprint on GoOutdoors) Eurohike Rydal 500 CarpetIn the case of families, this is a tent for parents with 2 or maximum 3 kids. The tent is also great for couples because of the separate sleeping areas.Note that the living area is also fully sealed so a few people can sleep there as well; you have 8 square meters of the area in that part alone.

The Eurohike Air tents – Air 400 & Air 600 – are one of the lowest priced inflatable tents in their respective category. They only come in these two sizes (4 person and 6 person), and only come in one colour (navy blue). Besides the large mesh door panel, the sunlight can get in through two PVC see-through windows; however, these do not open. The Coleman Mosedale 5 is another popular alternative: very similar to the Rydal 500 size-wise, but the fabrics (both flysheet and the groundsheet) are a big improvement compared to the Rydal 500 – again, reflected in the price. Detailed review of the Coleman Mosedale 5 here. A bespoke footprint is available to protect the groundsheet from uneven ground and to help retain the heat.Everything here is double, so you have dual entry doors, dual inner doors, and dual PVC windows. The entry doors are exceptionally wide, 190 and 145 centimeters, but they are without mesh; though you have the mesh on the inner doors so the sleeping area is completely safe from insects.
