Way bigger than expected, which makes this tent the ultimate favorite tent to have on any trip. The package is quite big, so it will only be suitable for a short distance from your car to the camping area, unless you have a donkey :P
Lightweight, easy to set up, stable and works really well for holding drinks and food and card games in place!
Great and easy to set up, needs a bit more space for the attachment points than I first thought, but super functional! Covered the gear from the rain.
This pump is seriously efficient — it inflates my Backdoor in under a minute.
The piston is metal and runs incredibly smooth. Compared to a similar Decathlon pump, this one feels genuinely premium — the other suddenly looks like a plastic toy. Visually I’d have preferred the white version, but only black was available when I ordered — which, to be fair, matches my Dark Matter Backdoor perfectly.
There’s no pressure gauge, which is a small shame. In practice though, it’s hard to damage the air beams: at some point you feel clear resistance, and you can tell when the frame is rock solid.
It fits easily in the frunk of my Tesla Model Y, together with a large mattress. For air travel I’m planning to take an electric Flextail and add the small Heimplanet pump instead.
The pump comes with several adapters, including one for the tent. They’re attached on a cord, which makes screwing the adapter in slightly awkward — you can detach it, or simply use the second adapter that comes with the tent. Just don’t lose that one.
Overall: fast, solid, built to last. My tent is up before my coffee gets cold.
Three weeks of testing so far — you can literally touch and smell the premium quality of this product.
The tent spent two full days in rain and strong wind: not a single drop inside, inner tent dry and clean. It stayed firm even without guy lines. It dries fast and is easy to clean.
Setup is quick and genuinely fun — pump, and the tent basically builds itself. It pairs perfectly with car camping (I use it alongside my Tesla Model Y).
The interior height is just right and the tent feels huge inside. How huge? During testing I comfortably fit two mattresses, a portable compressor fridge and an EcoFlow power station on side tables, a tall standing Xiaomi fan… and there was still room left for a 27" iMac. At some point I had to remind myself it's a tent, not a studio apartment. The only minor niggle is getting in and out — it took me a while, but I'm fully used to it now.
The Dark Matter colorway is awesome in daylight, but the real magic happens at night: with a lantern inside, the tent glows in any colour you can imagine. Great subject for photos.
If it keeps performing like this, the 4-Season inner tent, groundsheet and a tarp are next on my list.
Looks like brandnew, overall great design and quality. I‘d swap some of the compartments and dividers for a bit more open storage. But that‘s certainly a matter of personal preference.
Habe lange gebraucht für die Kaufentscheidung. Schliesslich kostet dieses Zelt so viel wie 6 neue Zelte meines Vorgängermodells der Konkurrenz.
Bis jetzt erst eine Testnacht damit verbracht. Bin sehr überzeugt. Habe mir zur Sicherheit noch die Bodenunterlage bestellt.
Was mir super gefällt ist die Anbringung der Häringe in Kombination mit den Apsiden. Ist echt schnell erledigt.
Auch die Häringqualität überzeugt.
Viel Platz im Innenraum. Was für mich als allein Reisender mit Motorrad toll ist. So kann ich alles rein nehmen über Nacht.
Super angenehmer Stoff, mega Farbe, gerade perfekt fürs Atlantikwetter :)
Das Zelt hält was es verspricht! Super schnell aufgebaut (3-5 Minuten) und genauso schnell wieder abgebaut und in der Tasche verstaut.
Es bietet genügend Schlafplatz für 3-4 Personen.
Im Vorzelt hat es viel Stauraum. Bei schlechtem Wetter hatten wir sogar 8 Personen am Tisch.
Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
I had lent the tent to an inexperienced user who caused 3 rooms to burst. Heimplanet sent new rooms, and the installation of the new rooms was done well and satisfactorily. I am very satisfied with the quality of the tent and receive compliments from the neighbors when it is back at the campsite.
Einfach ein unglaublich toller Kocher. In Kombi mit dem Triflex noch leicht obendrein. Freue mich schon auf die nächste Benutzung !
Richtig geiles Material. Mega Kuschelig. Langzeittest steht allerdings noch aus. Das anthrazit ist auch echt schick!
The most easy to put up and amazing tent to have with you on any adventure. We competed in the Panda Raid with a different Camp Site and circumstances every night. After 8 hours of rally driving through difficult terrain you don’t want to spent longer ten you have to on putting up your tent. The Cave XL was up in a few minutes every time!
Ein hochwertiges Kochgeschirr, welches gut aufeinander abgestimmt ist mit pfiffigen Ideen kleinem Packmaß. Entgegen anderer Nutzer ist es mir gelungen, ins Netz auch noch die Pfanne mit hinein zubekommen. Besser geht's nicht!
Very happy, it is durable enough for my use and i love the extra pockets. Would recommend
These cubes just feel right and look even better!
The quality is superb. You can wear it hundreds of times before you need to wash it.
