The Puffer Outdoors tent was developed as a response to the struggle associated with setting up a tent by opting for a decidedly easier alternative that's ready for use in around two-minutes. The A-frame tent leverages the versatility and featherlight design of an inflatable skeleton that can be inflated by utilizing any electric pump for use in mere minutes. The tent thus eliminates the need for traditional tent poles, sleeves, clips and cords that are a mainstay with most tent models but are notorious for being finicky, especially when being used in the field.
The Puffer Outdoors tent weighs in at 18-pounds and comes packed in a duffle-style bag for easy portability. The tent also features a built-in air mattress to eliminate the need for separate equipment.
