Tunnel tent Outwell Colorado 5 Air — 5-person, 3200×6300×2100 mm, inflatable (0.6 bar), detachable polyethylene groundcloth, blue

The Outwell Colorado 5 Air Blue Tunnel tent is a quick-to-pitch inflatable family tent designed for camping trips. The tunnel-style tent provides a spacious living area with pre-shaped air tubes for increased headroom, a detachable sewn-in groundsheet and two darkened bedrooms that sleep up to five people. Front and side doors plus a canopy offer flexible access and sheltered outdoor space in varying weather conditions.

Advantages

This air tent uses PVC-free DuraAir tubes and simple inflate/deflate valves placed outside the flysheet for straightforward setup and takedown. The light warm-toned flysheet roof improves interior ambience while mesh panels and Dark Premier Bedrooms balance ventilation with sleep comfort. Practical features such as double zips, mesh pockets and a detachable polyethylene ground cloth add convenience and weather protection.

Suitable for

• Family camping trips for up to five people
• Weekend breaks where fast pitching is preferred
• Campsites that require a durable weatherproof living area

When it may not be suitable

The tent is a tunnel-style design, which performs best when properly orientated to the wind; in very exposed or extreme alpine conditions a different, more robust pole- or geodesic-style shelter may be preferable. At 26.6 kg packed weight, it is not optimised for lightweight backpacking or long-distance portage.

How to use

Unpack the tent and lay it out on a clear, level area. Attach the detachable ground cloth if required and orient the tent to suit wind and sun. Inflate the pre-shaped DuraAir tubes using an appropriate pump to the recommended maximum operating pressure (0.6 bar). Secure the tent with pegs and guylines as needed. Use the double-zip front door and side door for access and open mesh panels for ventilation. Deflate the tubes through the external valves, clean and dry the tent thoroughly before packing to protect materials and seams.

What to consider before purchase

• Packed weight (26.6 kg) and packed dimensions — ensure vehicle or transport capacity
• Suitability of a tunnel tent for expected wind/exposure at your campsite
• Groundsheet type (detachable polyethylene) and compatibility with the campsite surface

Usage recommendations

Pitch the tent with the tunnel axis aligned to reduce wind resistance, use guylines for added stability in gusty conditions, and ventilate via mesh panels to reduce condensation. Store dry and clean to prolong fabric and seam life.
