Finally, a lightweight and portable backpacker air tent! Made with patented high pressure air frame technology, all you need is our air pump and 2 minutes! Then, when you’re ready to go, just roll up your tent for easy storage. Finally, with a bounce-back frame, this tent won’t cave in, even in heavy downpours and snowfalls.

Air tents use frames filled with air to prevent air leaks while maintaining the tent’s structural integrity. But most tents use a relatively low amount of air pressure (7-8 psi.), which requires a bulky and heavy tent diameter of 12-20 cm to maintain structural integrity. As a result, most air tents on the market are bulky, family-sized tents.

This is the world’s first backpacker tent with a patented high-pressure air frame. After 10 years of research and development, we’ve perfected a high-pressure airframe that can withstand over 40 psi with diameter of just 2.5 cm. That’s just a fraction of the size of other airframes.

*Suggested pressure range is 38-42 psi with an optimal pressure of 40 psi.

Thanks to the significantly reduced diameter, we were able to minimize the tent’s size and weight perfectly for minimalists. Weighing no more than a laptop, store this tent perfectly in your bag to take with you on your next backpacking trip!

Installation is as easy as 1-2-3! Just follow these steps: First, take the tent out of the bag. Next, use the pegs to secure the tent. Lastly, use the air pump to fill with air until it reaches 40 psi.

*We recommend using the Air Compressor optimized for the AIRBRIDGE Air Tent during setup. The Air Compressor is available as an Add-On.

The integrated tent and airframe mean that once you pump air in, the tent will automatically set itself up in just 2 minutes. No need for complicated pole pitching! No more wasting time manually pumping air!

The sheer power of the high-pressure air frame allows for easy pitching in non-adverse conditions without the need for guy lines. That means you’re free to roam around the outside of your tent without having to worry about tripping over anything.

*In strong winds or other adverse conditions, we recommend using guy lines for additional protection.

This tent is also easy to store. Once you’ve released all the air from the air frame, just fold or crunch up your tent and store in your bag.

With this light and easily foldable tent, just 1 backpack is all the storage space you need for a quick camping trip.

With 40 psi of air pressure, this tent has more air pressure than your tires! With a combination of high air pressure and high strength polyester, the air frame will instantly bounce back to its original shape whenever you bend or press down on it. Buffalo by AIRBRIDGE is more than twice as elastic and resilient as competitor air frames.

The air frame is remarkably resistant, so you won’t have to worry about the tent getting punctured or collapsing from heavy rain or snow, hail, or other forms of inclement weather. It also means that there won’t be any damages from poles breaking or scratching your tent.

With Nylon 20D and 40D Ripstop fabric, Buffalo by AIRBRIDGE is the lightest tent possible.

Ripstop uses a thick, powerful reinforced thread weaved in a grid-pattern to maximize the strength of the fabric. In the event that slight tears occur, Ripstop prevents the tear from becoming an even bigger problem.

The fabric is coated with PU4000, providing excellent waterproofing even in harsh weather. From our rain test, we confirmed that rainwater did not drip into the inside

There are windows to let wind in from all directions. This also means that Buffalo by AIRBRIDGE is beyond easy to ventilate.

And with multiple pockets inside the tent, you can store the tent front flap, phones, Bluetooth speakers, books, spare clothes and more inside Buffalo by AIRBRIDGE. A ceiling hook is also included for hanging lamps and more.

Use the rain fly to block out wind, rain and UV rays while also keeping yourself warm and toasty. The rain fly even adds extra space to store shoes or bags.

Then, at long last, you’ll be able to sleep on the complimentary air mattress for an all-around cozy camping experience.

Buffalo by AIRBRIDGE uses patented technology for verified effectiveness.

The first thing we’ll go over is the frame, which is made of a strongly woven polyester jacket and rubber tubes. The strong polyester jacket can suppress the expansion of the rubber tubes, allowing the frame to continuously compress the air inside. This creates stiffness in the frame to keep the tent supported.

The Buffalo Backpacking Tent is designed with a spine and rib structure for safety and resilience. There are three windows, and these help with air circulation and reducing moisture from building up from condensation. It is the world’s first backpacking high-pressure airframe air tent that not only has a great buffalo-like appearance, but is also practical, as it does not require guy lines

First, set up 4 to 7 pack loops. Then, connect the portable inflator of our Airbridge to the air inlet and hold the power button for 3 seconds to start the flow of air. Then, press the power button once again to complete the automatic inflation process.

When storing the tent, simply cover the air valve with the cap. As you can see, this quickly releases the compressed air inside, leaving almost no residual air left inside the frame. After a short wait, you’re free to roll up your tent and store it.
