The GYBE is a perfect fit if you’re looking to check any of the three boxes:

• - Super unique aesthetic that stands out in a sea of white pop-up tents.


• - Lightweight and convenient for traveling. Usually checkable on a flight (check with your airline to be sure!)


• - Available in large sizes that still pack down into a duffel bag that you can toss in the backseat of an SUV or minivan (and in many cases, a sedan).

The final cost of your tent is going to depend on a few factors, including size, scope of print, additional accessories, shipping method and if your state charges sales tax on items purchased from remote sellers. For a more detailed look at the numbers and how you can customize your project to hit a specific budget, we recommend you request a quote. For a general idea, the GYBE base costs range from $2,700 to $5,499.

The GYBE inflatable is available in 10x10, 13x13, 17x17, and 20x20 options.

From 2-15 minutes, depending on the size. The smaller 10x10s are fully inflated really quickly, but the larger 20x20 is going to take that full 15 minutes.

This part is cool. It does not require any kind of constant air source or blower to stay inflated. Think of it like a beach ball. You fill it up with air, close the valves and enjoy until you’re ready to take it down. Then just release the valves and call it a day.

The first thing to know is that the GYBE is one of only a few tents that we do not manufacture in house. The production timeline is a bit longer than our other products at 14-18 business days before its ready to ship.

The inflatable GYBE comes standard with a transport backpack (because it rolls up tiny enough to fit in a backpack, can you believe?!), a pump, donut-shaped sandbag anchoring kit, and a just-in-case repair kit.

First, we want to acknowledge that anything inflatable sounds scary. We’ve probably all had enough bad experiences with an air mattress or those huge inflatable beach ducks/flamingos/unicorns that had a *moment* a few summers ago. Cheap plastic is really easy to damage, period.

So we don’t do this cheaply. We’ve honed in on a supplier that is as committed to quality as we are. The GYBE is wrapped with a Dacron shell that protects the inflatable bladders. We know the material used to build a GYBE is proven in the kiteboarding industry and it not only does a rockin’ job protecting the inflatable, but is also fire-rated, water-resistant, and UV stabilized.

Here’s the thing: we don’t want to deal with an exploded or leaking tent any more than you do. It’s pretty much the worst way to spend a day for all parties. There are cheaper models on the market, but like any industry, there’s usually a reason something costs less. Corners were cut somewhere.

We recently had a customer that believed what we were saying about quality, but also wanted to give the cheaper options a chance. They bought one GYBE and an inflatable from somewhere else. The plan was to use them together and see if there was any noticeable difference.

We were down with it. Honestly, we were interested.

Well, in an anti-climatic twist, at the first setup, the GYBE operated as expected, while the alternative exploded. We can’t make this stuff up, guys.

The GYBE is covered by a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty, which covers the repair or replacement of defects caused by manufacturer error.
