It's not the lightest (11 pounds) or the cheapest (€500, or $635), but the Cave Tent can claim an innovative feature that many other tents can't: It sets up in less than a minute flat — frame, tent and flysheet included.
Designed by Frackenpohl Poulheim for Heimplanet, the inflatable Cave Tent is equipped with a pump system that rapidly fills air in five independent chambers. Just roll it out and pump it up before the campfire even gets going.
Heimplanet hails the polyester-nylon Cave Tent as the "Inflatable Iron Grid," referring to its ability to withstand up to 75 mph winds. It sleeps up to three people comfortably — assuming you don't accidentally pitch your tent on top of a cactus, that is.

I dont get these tents. theyve had "pop up" tents for years where u basically hit a button and it sets itself up.
this just seems like it would get a hole and then be useless
Hrm. Agree with caseyinto.
Personally, I can set up our three person tent on my own in about five minutes. That's not so terrible.
this tent makes me giggle. it wouldn't last a night in a storm.
I'll continue using my cheap tarp --it works fine.
