Product Information

In this Airgo Air Genus 800 review I am going through all the good and all the bad things, revealing the ‘ugly truth’ about the Air Genus 800. I hoping to help you see a bit beyond the catchy marketing phrases. Update: We managed to find 3 items that were made by Eurohike and are categorised as “Canopies, Porches & Extensions”. I must admit, that it is a different, more practical but nonetheless valid approach. I am sure some of you will appreciate this practicality, and would not mind spending their time outside the tent anyways.

We had a fair bit of wind, but with the combination of super sized corner pegs (huge coffin nails), and the very good quality guy line pegs, this shelter wasn’t budging. This is a beach item that you’ll get plenty of use from beyond the beach – they’re great for hiking, camping, festivals, or even just sitting out in the garden. As long as there’s grass where you can fit some tent pegs, job's a goodun!Price – as you’d expect the price of a product can be an instantly recognisable factor on what sort of quality you can expect. Whoever came up with the phrase “you get what you pay for” pretty much hit the nail on the head. Whilst it’s not always the case and there are many bargains to be had, you can as a general rule, expect the higher priced products to offer better quality than a the cheapest option. We’ll dive into the price of Eurohike Universal Tarp Shelter in more detail in a moment. We also take note of tents that struggle against the wind and need frequent re-pegging. Some tents actually blow over entirely. Thirdly, don’t expect to be able to keep your dog inside, they will easily find their way out as soon as they smell the BBQ from the tent next door. The ‘T’ refers to the thread count (T), which is the number of threads used horizontally and vertically per square inch of fabric … 210T means a total of 210 threads. A higher thread count represents a greater density and tighter weave in the fabric. For this reason you will often find lower Denier fabrics (with a ‘thinner’ thread) have a higher thread count. Not in this case, 185T is a very low thread number.

When you are underneath this shelter, it feels so spacious and Coleman make an even bigger XL version. The head height fantastic too and when fully raised, the centre is over 2.8m high. WATERPROOF - This Eurohike Shelter is fully waterproof with a 1500mm HH flysheet and fully taped seams so you are sure to stay dry whatever the weather. While the Airgo Air Genus 800 is not available anymore, the Eurohike Genus 800 Air Tent is identical. I have not replaced references to the old Air Genus 800 model in this post, but I indicated if the new model has been upgraded. Another factor that can be a great indication of product quality is the brand. Brands like Eurohike are of course extremely well known, especially for Gazebos. Now this is the part where I expect to add quite often that ‘considering its price’. As I said before, there will be some head-scratching moments, might be even a deal-breaker for some. Others would say that these are only smaller issues that are easy to live with, or not issues at all. We are all different, and that’s fine.Then folding the tent in half vertically, and then again horizontally to leave you with the tent folded into a circle The shelter was great for 3 days until 3 poles split, one of which shattered. In my opinion the poles are too long or the material is incorrectly sized and causes excessive tension.

Finally, pop-up gazebos also pop-down, because they’re only meant as a temporary structure. Some manufacturers recommend you do not leave them up overnight, others of a more sturdy nature can reasonably stand for longer without succumbing to the various ravages of nature, but while hardtop gazebos can stand all year round, this is a definite no-no with the pop-up! There are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it. We select the bestselling pop up tents, buy every pop up tent we test and take them to a field to peg them up and record how they stand up to the wind and rain during a blustery week. Pitching and collapsingThe perfect accessory for camping, the Eurohike Shelter offers extra space for cooking, eating or planning. It features 4 doors, one of each side, each with mesh windows and is erected using the ArcFlex™ fibreglass poles which combine to form a dome structure with up-to 220cm of standing room. An inflatable option, there are no pesky poles to be bothered with or even anything to push into place. Simply pump it up with the included two-way double efficiency stirrup pump and pressure gauge, and watch the Berghaus, complete with four zip-away doors (two of which feature mesh windows and curtains) and skylight roof panelling, arise before you and any envious neighbours. If you like the idea of an inflatable gazebo, but without quite such a hefty price tag as the Berghaus Air Shelter, then the Eurohike Genus Shelter V2 could well be the answer to all your camping or festival prayers. At 3.65m square, we found we had plenty of room underneath. Even when it was raining and we were sat in the centre, the wind couldn’t assist in getting us wet and we were quite comfortable under it whilst cooking and eating our tea.
