Key features
The Hi Gear Lavvu Air Elite is a great value inflatable tipi tent which provides exceptional living and sleeping space for up to 3 people. The interior is generously sized offering impressive head height and an airy feel throughout. A separate porch area with removable groundsheet is the perfect place to store muddy boots and extra camping equipment.
Traditional tipi tents commonly need a central supporting pole to hold the canvas up. The Lavvu Air Elite cleverly does away with the need for poles thanks for its quick-inflation air system, which allows you to pitch the tent in just a few minutes using the included air pump. The air beam system creates an equally stable pitch, opening up the space and removing any restrictions on the layout. No more will you need to angle your sleeping mat or camping bed to accommodate the pole. At the end of your camping trip, press the valve on the beam and stand back to watch your tipi tent deflate in seconds.
The magnetic close privacy screen allows you to zone the tent to create private areas. This practical screen uses a magnetic close to create a quick and quiet opening and closing action, meaning you won’t be woken up by tent zippers during the night.
Upper and lower level vents are strategically placed throughout the tent to manage airflow. This ensures the environment within the tipi remains comfortable, dry and free from condensation.
Looking for extra storage space or an area to shelter from the rain or sunshine? A bespoke tarp is available for the Lavvu Air Elite which fits easily onto the front of the tipi and allows you to customise your set up. This tarp is perfect for keeping bikes, outdoor toys and wellies out of the weather.

Pros and Cons, but overall good!
Very spacious tent, and when camping you definitely have the best setup on site! However it is challenging to put up into the correct shape, and the bedroom is VERY light in the morning. overall good!

Nice tent
Well one thing for sure is, that the room in the tent needs to be blackout. It's very lighting the evening and early mornings. Also you should be able to zip the front flap.

Love our Air Tipi
This is fab! We bought the bundle including the carpet, footprint and front canopy and it was well worth it! Can’t wait to travel round Europe with it this summer!

Fantastic air tent
This is the best tent I have ever owned. Very good in high winds and waterproof even with torrential rain and thunder storm. I found inner doors are heavy and difficult to understand.

Lavvu Tipi air tent
Very sturdy rollered bag. Pumped up within minutes. Tent material and air beams are strong., no leaks from either. Spacious sleeping area. Tent stayed cool. Take more pegs on hard ground as ours bent.

Buy it , but YouTube air tent installation videos first.
Amazing tent, huge inside, be good for a couple or with a young family as not really separated bedrooms. We put it up in strong winds and it never missed a beat. Very, very happy with this tent.

Grt tnt rlly fun, just get some better pegs for hard soil.
I have had this tent for a year and it's great. We have used it in all weathers. It stood strong for two days in the worst weather I've camped in. The whole camp site was watching but it survived.

Best inflatable tipi tent but needs better sleeping screens
it comes with a tarp for half the tent but you’ll need to buy the other half.
Could do with black-out inner lining. Very bright in morning. Super easy to erect. Very spacious. Other campers will envy

I love this tent!
This is such a lovely tent, striking to look at and a wonderful space to camp in. The tent has withstood high winds and torrential rain and I can erect it easily on my own.

First pitch by non-experienced campers
Pitching and packing away was easy with no issues.
Tent is very stable with all the guy lines pegged and held up to heavy winds and a few showers.
Plenty of space, privacy and great ventilation.

What a Brilliant Tent
Get it. Your partner might say no, it's impractical - its not. It's great. We managed to fit 7 people on camping chairs in it when it rained, and it slept 3 people very comfortably (probs max 6).

Really fantastic tent!
Very simple to pitch and pack away. All elements of the tent are so well thought out. We are very happy with our investment, it is such a fun tent. We can't wait to get away again!

Outstanding tent, well put together.
Unusually the pitch instructions are essential. Once the inflation valves are set, its easly to inflate, comes with a pressure gauge and relief valve. Fantastic views from inside, venting works.
