Our verdict

An inflatable geodesic tent that pitches in about a minute and resists water well. A pump is not confirmed in the box, and the weight figures conflict.

Overview

Campers tired of threading poles get The Cave XL from Heimplanet, an inflatable geodesic dome that unrolls and pumps up into shape. Its Multi Chamber Safety System lets you seal off chambers so one puncture does not collapse the tent.

Speed of pitching is what sets it apart, along with a high water resistance rating on both fly and floor. It is heavy for backpacking, and the listing does not confirm a pump is included.

Who it's for

Festival goers, road trippers and car campers who want quick setup and stability will enjoy it. Long distance hikers will find it heavy.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Inflates in about a minute
  • Separate air chambers aid repairs
  • Geodesic shape adds stability
  • High water resistance rating
Cons
  • Pump not listed as included
  • Heavy for backpacking
  • Weight and size specs conflict

Performance notes

Structure comes from inflated tubes forming a geodesic frame, which spreads wind load across the shell. After inflation the chambers can be isolated so a single leak only affects one section. Water protection depends on the coated fly and PVC floor.
