Aria Elite 1 Air Pole Tent Review
The Outdoor Connection Aria Elite 1 is the perfect companion for solo hikers who want to do things quickly and easily. The tent is spacious and can fit up to 3 people but if you prefer to be alone then you’ll enjoy plenty of room to move around.
Integrated with 2 air poles, you simply use the included pump to inflate the tent to 8-10 PSI for a tough and durable tent. The tent is made from a breathable polyester which definitely helps reduce condensation on those muggy days. The 100D Fly has taped seams and UV-Protek technology to improve the tent’s resistance to sun damage.
The outer fly has an extended awning with poles and guy lines so it covers a large area. You have the option to purchase side awnings as well for additional areas to hang out.
There are small air vents at the side of the tent right under the large mesh windows for added ventilation.
The inner tent is 2.8m x 2.6m wide so it can fit up to 3 people but it’s really great for couples so that you can have more space to move around in. The total head height is 1.9m so no need to slouch while being inside the tent.
Pros
HIGH VOLUME PUMP INCLUDED– I like that purchasing this tent comes its own pump. And it’s already set to its specific air pressure.
FULL COVERAGE AWNINGS – The fully extended awnings means you are well protected from the sun and rain all day.
Cons
SMALL – The tent is advertised to have a sleeping capacity for 3 persons but it would be best used by couples or solo hikers so they can utilize more space.
