- The Jetset 5 set up behind me is an affordable
and easy to set up inflatable air tent from Zempire.
I'm gonna take you for a walk through.
Let's check it out.

Hey folks, Ben from Snowys here today,
at the Brownhill Creek Tourist Park
in Adelaide's leafy Eastern suburbs.
It is a caravan in a nice little bush setting,
that's an easy and relaxing getaway for Adelaideans
or anyone passing through the area.
This is a Jetset 5 inflatable air tent behind me here.
Let's check it out,
it weighs about 14 kilos,
or just over 14 kilos when it's packed up,
and it packs up to about 70 centimetres in length
and about 35 centimetres in diameter.
It doesn't have a hard frame in there that makes it bulky
and heavy so it's ideal for family campers
who don't have a lot of space inside their vehicle.
It sets up really easily,
it's affordable as well,
and it offers excellent ventilation.
Now you can use it with or without this fly sheet here,
the beauty of not having the frame integrated with,
or a hard metal frame or alloy frame integrated
into the tent, is that you can set the whole thing up
and pack it away with the fly attached,
so it makes set up really quickly.
To start by looking at the fabrics that it's made of.
Now the fly sheet is a 75 denier 190 thread count
polyester, and it's got a 5000 millilitre water head.
It is seam sealed throughout.
Now back towards the inner tent,
this is made of a combination of 75 denier 190T polyester
with bug proof mesh in the roof vents here,
in the doors and in the windows that I'll show you shortly.
The floor is a heavy duty 180GSM polyethylene,
or it's like a tarp type material,
so it's got that crinkly feel,
but it is a really heavy duty floor on that one there.
And the poles, now this is where this tent's unique,
it's an air pole.
So this is the actual pole here,
now this is, has a TPU or a rubbery type bladder inside,
I'm pretty sure it's TPU,
and that's zipped inside this dual layer,
or two to three layer protective material on the outside,
so they're really well protected.
A lot of people are concerned about punctures
in air poles like this,
look it can happen,
but these guys are pretty well protected,
you shouldn't have a problem.
Now these combine with a little bit of fibreglass,
and these poles here, there's one in the front and the back,
they just run along the top here
to just bring this fly up and out
to create a bit more space up underneath.
And then there's a couple of steel poles included as well,
which are these ones here just as the awning poles.
That's probably a good lead into this awning here.
Now this front section here
we can set up in a number of ways.
I've got it set up as a shade awning out here.
Now I'm 180 centimetres tall so it is quite low,
I do have to crouch down to get in underneath here,
but if you were to sit in under there
it's gonna give you a bit of protection.
Alternatively, we can do away with these poles
and just zip this closed as a weather protected
awning at the front here.
There's not a lot of space to stand up in the awning
or the vestibule, sorry, when it's set up like that,
but it does give you a little bit of storage space.
So moving around the outside of the tent here,
to the sides, we see we've got a small sort of
weather protected awning over the top of this window here,
now I'll show you inside how this adjusts,
but there's an internally adjustable privacy screen there,
and this window goes right from the top to the bottom here.
There is seam sealing that runs along the bottom here,
so when that internal privacy screen's done up
and the rain hits this, it's gonna run away from the tent.
There's extra flaps and things here to protect
all the seams where there could potentially be a leak,
so the water runs away.
As we move further around to the rear of the tent here
you'll see there's actually a bit of a peak
at the back here, this gives us a bit of
weather protected storage that's accessible from the inside.
Another cool feature of this though
is that we can actually set this up,
or open it up a little bit,
for a little bit of extra ventilation,
if we just roll this open here,
there's an extra tab just here,
which allows us to secure this open like this,
and on a warm night, or if it's humid or even raining,
we can have this rolled up like this,
we're getting ventilation in underneath here still,
and we've still got a bit of weather protected space
in front of that door.
It's pretty much all the features on the outside,
I wanna step inside now and show you everything in there.
I'm gonna step inside the Jetset 5 here.
I'll just mention these doors,
they are double doors, so you've got a solid panel
and a mesh panel to these doors.
So you can either seal it up completely for privacy,
or allow the ventilation through.
Now these zip right open, there's actually three
zipper pulls that feature on this door.
So this second one acts as a power access point,
so we can actually just zip that back a little way,
and get a power access, or get a cord in there,
12 by 240 volt power to run our lanterns,
fans or whatever we like to run inside.
Once this is zipped open there is a little stash pocket
in the corner here for you to put your door into,
so it's in out of the way.
As I step it back inside the tent here now,
talking about the height of it,
I'm 185 centimetres,
so I can stand comfortably in the middle here,
reasonably comfortably most of the way over to the side,
before my head starts to hit the side.
They say it's 190 centimetres,
it's a little bit less than that by my measurements.
In the middle here you've got a lantern hook.
Now this is only half of what's supposed to be here,
there's actually a male side of this that clips into
this tri-release buckle and a loop
so that you can hang your lantern here.
It's gone missing on this tent for some reason.
Looking at the ventilation in the tent.
These are all mesh panels in the roof here,
so tonnes of ventilation throughout,
and on each side of the tent here,
we've got full length mesh windows
that go from top to bottom here,
and they've internally adjustable privacy panels
that zip all the way up.
Now, Zempire have accounted for, and I mentioned it before,
I'll say it again,
they've accounted for the water ingress
that could potentially happen in the base of the fly here,
this is seam sealed, there's a flap on the outside
that goes over any seams that might leak
so you're not gonna get any water in there.
And these can be zipped up from the inside
for full weather protection.
It overlaps at the top here and you've got another tab.
So this window features on both sides of the tent.
And then at the rear, a little bit different.
You've got a privacy panel at the top here,
which can be zipped open or closed
with a little tab in the middle there as well.
And then at the bottom, this is also a ventilation port.
We can zip this completely closed, if we like,
or alternatively we can leave it open just with the mesh
as it was before, or we can actually zip it right open
for access to our rear storage port here.
Now this goes about a metre out at the very peak there,
but you've got a little bit less storage than that really
'cause of the slope,
but enough room for a few bags and some shoes
and things in the back there.
Now the front vestibule,
if you were to set that awning up, zipped closed,
the front vestibule comes about 80 centimetres out
from the edge of the tent there
and slopes back immediately,
so there's not a lot of room to stand in,
but once again just enough room for a storage
of a few bags, shoes, maybe a small esky.
Now with regards for space inside the tent here,
it's about 280 centimetres width,
and 280 centimetres in depth.
They say it's up to five person,
it's probably a comfortable four person tent.
It's a really good tent for a family of four.
I've got some airbeds that I'm gonna try and stick in here.
I've got a double high queen and two singles,
I think I'll probably only fit
the queen and the single here.
I'm gonna go and grab them and show you how they fit.
Now this is a double high queen airbed here
which measures just under two metres in length,
and about 150 centimetres in width.
And this guy here is an XL single
which measures just a little under 190
by around about 90 or just under in width.
So both of these in here, I've got a bit of access
down the middle here, plenty of storage at the end.
I'm probably not gonna fit,
I wouldn't fit another XL single airbed in here,
so enough room for three,
you probably fit three single airbeds side by side
in here, or if you were to use smaller hike mats
you'd certainly fit them,
well potentially five of them across,
or just four and one at the end there.
So I'd say this is a comfortable tent for
a family of two adults and maybe two smaller kids.
Now the last thing I haven't really shown you,
and the last thing I want to show you with the air tent
is just how flexible the air poles are in the wind.
If they were to bend, they just bounce back.
Let me show you.
Now one of the real benefits I love of the air pole
systems over steel poles,
was if the wind picked up really badly,
or something fell on your tent,
and did this to your steel pole tent,
your tent would be rendered pretty much useless,
but with an air pole,
these guys just keep bouncing back into place.
I reckon an air tent is a really good long-term investment
in your camping outings.
And set up properly with all their guy ropes and everything
these are really sturdy.
Look, this is a really affordable option for family
camping and it is really easy to set up,
and won't take up too much space in the boot of your car.
