The Easy Camp Bolide 400 is a lightweight, compact tent aimed at campers who need a reliable shelter without taking up too much space. Its straightforward design and manageable pack size make it a good choice for weekend trips or car camping when you want something that sets up quickly and packs down small.
Built with a 180T polyester flysheet and a 1500 mm PU coating, this tent keeps light to moderate rain from seeping through while still remaining breathable. The 100 % polyethylene groundsheet sits low to the ground, helping to keep moisture out, and the 16 mm steel poles give the structure the sturdiness needed in breezy conditions. Weighing in at just 4.7 kg and packing down to 64 × 20 cm, it’s easy to carry or tuck in a car boot.
The 1500 mm hydrostatic head rating refers to the height of a water column the fabric can withstand before leaking—roughly equivalent to light or intermittent showers—while 180T indicates the thickness of the polyester weave, offering a good balance of durability and weight. The 16 mm diameter of the steel poles also helps resist bending under wind or snow load.
