Just saw a video where someone had a tent that had air bladders in place of the poles. Anyone know anything about this tent?

Nope...but I've learned that ANYTHING with air pockets, bladders, compartments, etc...and the desert DON'T MIX!!!

I'm into ultralight backpacking...but not super stupid hardcore. The tents I use are the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL1 (solo) and UL2. They're awesome.

moab mark , saw a tent today at Sportmans Warehouse that used air to hold it up instead of poles. It was a Wenzel tent that would sleep about 5 people comfortably. Wasn't cheap though, retailed for $249. Can't see that it will revolutionize the industry as like Byron said, one hole and it's gonna be a long night.
