It's 549 Euros, which equals 435.71 pounds. Quite heavy for a tent.

In all seriousness, there are advantages to not having to worry about tent
poles.
But having to depend on and transport a system for inflating the support tubes
seems like a potential problem for backpacking or caving.
I recall a caver at the NSS Convention at the OTR site about 15 years ago that
had a large inflatable tent, but I think it was PVC.

I actually have one of these tents. It's pretty nice but certainly to bulky and
heavy for backpacking.
The tent sets up in no time with the use of a cheap air mattress pump. The
"poles" system is very interesting and the whole thing seems to be well made. I
am however not to impressed with how the train fly attaches and how difficult
of is to remove one you've put it on.
At any rate I'm glad to have it and think it is a novel idea but leaves
something to be desired in function.

China Caves
National Geographic has sponsored a series of 3-D laser surveys of some of
China's spectacular caves. They have also put up an interesting web site (
China's Super Caves) that includes both text articles and videos of SW China's
spectacular karst. This site is a portal to several articles and videos,
including The Karsts of China . Take your time and explore this site. Check out
the Featured Videos and Related buttons.
The central video features British cavers Andy Eavis and Peter Smart,
photographer Carstin Peters, and a host of younger sports.
Rock climbers have been exploring these areas (in many places before the
cavers. There are several sequences around Yangshuo, especially on Moon Hill SW
of town.
