About this item
- SET UP - With our tents you only need to connect the airframe, inner tent, and outer tent once before your first use. After that your tent can simply be rolled out like a sleeping bag, pumpen up and fixated with pegs in case of strong winds. To pack up simply open one of the valves to deflate the airframe and roll up the tent to put it back in the pack sack.
- ONE PUMP SYSTEM - The airchambers of the frame are connected. That way, the entire tent can be pitched using only one valve. After the tent is pumped up within few seconds, disconnect the airchambers using the small clips attached so that the tent remains stable even if one airchamber is damaged (Multi Chamber Safety System).
- STABILITY - Thanks to the geodesic frame structure our tents are extremely stable. Even our largest tent can withstand windspeeds up to 110mph.
- ROOF DESIGN - The tent's centre becomes an additional supporting point. This allows the formation of a star-shaped roof. The result is a point-symmetrical slope that offers five run-offs for rain.
- FACTS - Packing Size: 16x13x9in, Weight: 10.6lbs, Ground Area: 54 square feet, Double-layer air struts, 5000mm water column, see Heimplanet Groundsheets for extra floor protection.

Product Description
Developed with passion and attention to detail in Hamburg, Germany.
THE CAVE is our first inflatable tent and it still is an icon. All it takes is a pump and in less than a minute your tent will be pitched. Thanks to its geodesic dome construction with ten crossing points THE CAVE is extremely strong and because it is made from high-quality materials it offers weatherproofness and durability too. The Inflatable Diamond Grid (IDG) s stability and an intuitive and easy setup of THE CAVE so you can get the maximum out of your trip. It provides support for the waterproof RipStop Polyester fly sheet and the RipStop Nylon inner tent with lots of storage compartments. The vestibule is good for storing smaller things or your shoes. The gear loft under the inner tent roof offers added storage - put your lamp inside and create a diffuse and ambient light inside THE CAVE.
For everyone who loves travelling and simplicity! Inflatable frame, inner and outer tent work as a unit and only need to be assembled on the very first setup. From the second time on you just need to pump it up.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2018As far as backpacking tents go this tent is by no means traditional. I am a bit hesitant on giving this tent a full 5 stars, but I feel as if for each negative it has an amazing positive. I have spent about 25 nights in this tent and have loved it.
The first thing you notice when setting this tent up backcountry is how easy it is. You literally open the valves and pump it up and steak it down. The average time is around 6-10 minutes. This is also equally easy to take down but on average without trying to hurry can be take down in around 15 minutes. The negative with how this tent folds up is that any water not shaken off gets folded up in it and can be aggravating Because the rain fly and inner netting and tube frame are all one unit after you put them together. So this can make it difficult to clean because to separate each part and shake it out is not easy but can be done after the trip at home pretty easy.
The second positive is how amazing this tent handles wind. With living in Wyoming and frequenting Colorado and Montana for backcountry trips the wind can get pretty crazy in the mountains and this tent takes it all. the negative is that the vents on the tent can't be closed from the inside and don't 100% seal when closed. Thus a little wind gets in always.
Next is the weight of the tent. The tent is very light for a tent of this size, and it does fit three different 6 foot tall college men with backpacks shoved to one size of the tent, this tent is very nice for coming in at 10ish pounds. ( depending on the pump you get). The con here is that even being light the tent still is pretty large when folded down into its compression sack. About the size of two compressed backcountry sleeping bags. so the trade off of weight and ease of set up is countered by the size that you have to strap to your pack.
One thing compared to other tents I have used is that there are almost no vestibules only two small ones for boots) thus all backpacks have to be stored inside the tent. This is a minor inconvenience because there is so much floor space but it is one that also has benefits that you wouldn't think of with a normal more square footprint of a tent, these are that you can access anything in your pack easy and not have to unzip doors to get at it and in cases of uneven terrain you can use your pack as a leveling piece kinda like a giant wedge pillow.
All in all with this nontraditional tent you get a very nice tent that sets up fast and handles wind, rain, and snow well.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2020I purchased 2 of these. The second time they were pitched, a gentle breeze was all it took to rip the fly sheet. I contacted customer services and their response was it's not covered by us becasue you must have ripped it. It failed at a stitch line in beautiful summer weather. I cannot trust this tent. Heimplanet will not repair. It's now very expensive garbage. I have 40 years of experience in some of the harshest environments on Earth. I'm sorry I ever bought this.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2018This is a surprisingly sturdy tent when assembled. It is the sturdiest tent I have ever slept in. The first time we camped with it we were basically in a wind storm, and it kept us really well sheltered. Everyone else had standard dome tents that were totally flattened by the gusts of wind, and our tent didn't even move! It's a rock!
From the car I was able to get this thing unpacked and assembled and inflated in less than 10 minutes without even rushing.
When I was done camping, I was able to deflate and pack the tent down in about 15 minutes! It's a bit more work than inflating, as you have to roll it to deflate, then unroll and repack it, but was still quite easy to pack.
The only disadvantage is that it is a little bit bulky when packed down, even though it is quite light. Also, this NEEDS to be staked down, that is really a requirement compared to other tents.
The interior looks awesome (as the the space age exterior), and it has a ton of headroom. We put a queen-sized inflatable mattress in the bottom, and there's still room for your bags too. All in all this is a 10/10 tent. I love it!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2021Color: cairo camoVerified PurchaseBest tent I have here. Great design. They were out of stock once I ordered it but got asked to replace with the black camo limited one instead which is unbelievable beautiful.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2021Three stars because I really like this tent. Also, only three stars because the first setup is a monumental pain in the ass. Took over two hours for first assembly. The crappy toggles are very difficult to engage and getting the inner and outer tent properly oriented is tedious. I was off twice and had to detach everything and start over. The instructions were piss-poor. No guidance on which toggles went where. Thankfully, I’ll never have to do this again.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2021Color: cairo camoVerified PurchaseSuch an amazing tent so worth the money it’s only problem is that it should have a better way to ventilate.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2021My first one deflates after one day of use. I love the design so much I wanted to give it another shot. Same thing happened again. After 1 day of use, the 2nd day one of the tubes start deflating. I am not sure what's causing it, could it be the sun? It was too hot? I live in Los Angeles, and the temperature could be up to 100 degrees during summer. Anyways, I really want to love this tent, but it's unreliable. Good thing I did not take it to camping with the kids, otherwise it would really ruin the experience. Hope they fix this issue.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2017Nicely made tent but too small for three people as advertised so I sent it back. Perfect size for one person, two can fit but tight. Three if only all kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super durchdachtes Zelt für 2Personen
Bin mit dem Zelt mehr als zufrieden.
Aufbau dauert (incl. anspannen) keine 5Minuten, Abbau geht noch schneller.
Es hat Platz für meine 2Isomatten (190x66cm) und an den Wänden reichlich Staufächer.
Regen und Sturm machen dem Zelt nichts aus (benutze den dazugehörigen Groundsheet).
Alles in allem ein tolles Zelt und ein echter Hingucker!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tolles Zelt, einfach und schnell aufgestellt
Color: cairo camoVerified PurchaseDas System hat mich überzeugt, ist schnell (auch ohne Pumpe) aufgestellt, bietet für 2 Erwachsene (oder 1 Erwachsener und 2 Kinder) Platz. Schnell auch wieder zusammengepackt und im Rucksack verstaut. Sieht größer aus als es ist und es ist, auch wenn es ungewöhnlich aussieht, nur ein Zelt.

4.0 out of 5 stars Schönes Zelt mit kleinen Abzügen
Der Erstaufbau des Zeltes war meiner Meinung nach ziemlich einfach und selbsterklärend. Aufgebaut ist das Zelt ein ziemlicher Hingucker und überzeugt auch in der Stabilität. Einziger Nachteil, wenn man für 700€ ein Zelt kauft und nicht einmal eine Pumpe dabei hat. Wie auch bei vielen anderen Zelten ist die Tragetasche viel zu klein konzipiert. Sonst ist das Zelt ein absolutes Zelt der Zukunft und ich will es nicht mehr missen.

PrepperReviewed in Germany on February 18, 2020
2.0 out of 5 stars Nettes Gimmick, cooles Design, aber wenig Nutzwert
Color: cairo camoVerified PurchaseDas Cave von Heimplanet ist sicher ein gelungenes Design und dass die Jungs mit Ihren Produkten die Welt retten wollen kann man auch gut finden. Viel mehr kommt leider nicht.
Der erste Aufbau ist nicht ohne Herausforderungen, da die "Anleitung" sich stark reduziert zeigt. In einigen Bereichen fehlt sie ganz, z.B. was macht man mit den mitgelieferten Leinen? Warum nur 4 Heringe wo man doch 5 Bodenabspannpunkte hat, die laut der Anleitung auch unbedingt zu nutzen sind um dem Zelt Form zu geben.
Ich ging auch davon aus, dass das Zelt eine sich selbst spannende Funktion hat; heißt, dass durch die Form ein hohes Maß an Stabilität gewährleistet ist. Im Endeffekt hängt Innen- wie auch Außenzelt im Rahmen und muss manuell abgespannt werden. Das sind 5 Boden und 2x 4 Abspannpunkte am Außenzelt; macht 13 (!). Da ist der Vergleich mit anderen Zelten (Marmot Limelight mit 10) mindestens der selbe Aufwand zu betreiben, nur dass hier die Streben außen liegen und aufgeblasen werden. Bis das Zelt steht ist mindestens dieselbe Aufwand vergangen wie bei einem konventionellen Zelt und es ist deutlich (doppelt) schwerer als ein vergleichbares Zelt. Da sind die Videos sehr irreführend.
Das Zelt soll extremen Windgeschwindigkeiten standhalten, theoretisch bestimmt, aber das Außenzelt hört 10 cm über dem Boden auf, für die Frischluft-Zirkulation bestimmt gut aber für mich eher ein Schönwetterzelt.
Da Abbau sollte eigentlich leicht sein, ist er leider nicht. Selbst wenn man alle (!) Ventile öffnet und ist es fast unmöglich das Zelt zusammengebaut (Streben, Innen- und Außenzelt; damit das wie im Video funktioniert) in den Packsack zu bekommen. Was nützt mir all die schicken Features, wenn ich schweißgebadet bin bis das Zelt irgendwie wieder zurückgepackt ist.
Alles in allem ist das Zelt unbestritten schick und einzigartig und wahrscheinlich ein Hingucker auf jedem Campingplatz. Aber Alltagsnutzen und Handling ist unpraktisch bzw. nicht gegeben und aufgrund seines Gewichts und notwenigem Zubehör eh nicht zum Hiken geeignet.
Leider ist die Firma Heimplanet auch telefonisch für Rückfragen nicht zu erreichen und der geschaltete Anrufbeantworter nimmt zwar auf, leider meldet sich niemand zurück. Mir scheint alles super durch designt und schick und fenzy zu sein, leider fehlt es an den Basics wie Kundenservice, Nutzen und Alltagstauglichkeit.
Schade, aber das gut Stück geht zurück, den bei 850,- € inkl. notwendigem Zubehör muss mehr stimmen als nur das Design.

Color: cairo camoVerified PurchaseThe tent did not come in Cairo Camo, but rather the original color. I guess it's ok to market a product as one thing and then give customers another.
