NANZA Tl;dr
Setting up traditional tents takes the most time and energy out of our (supposed to be) relaxing camping trips. Whether it's taking hours and hours hammering nails into the ground, trying to get it to stay up, tying wrong parts together, or simply just giving up, there's nothing more upsetting than the confusion of setting up a tent. The Air Cruiser props right up in just one click of a button, and right above your car at that. Spend literally seconds on what used to seem like forever.
Summary

What's Different?
Air Cruiser is a significant investment and has been designed to serve you for many, many years of outdoor adventures! Every component has has been rigorously tested to stand up to everything nature can throw at it (and more). Cinch have also chosen high quality electronics components and fixtures to ensure that the components chosen have survived and surpassed levels of usage beyond the demands of the final product.
About Cinch
Cinch and Wildland make an unbeatable partnership, full of experience and skill and deep camping love. They are veteran crowd funders, who have delivered $2+ million of crowdfunded products. They are also trusted manufacturers, producing more than 50,000 RTTs a year. AND we have a completed and rigorously tested product.
Environmental Efforts
Choosing the right distribution partners is essential to keeping things within budget, but it’s also essential for the environment. That’s why, where possible, Cinch has selected partners who take their environmental responsibilities seriously.
Sustainability
Wildland endeavours to use low impact and bio degradable wherever possible in the Air Cruiser.
Special Features
1. Dimmable LED lighting
2. Dual layer windows and doors
3. Air pressure sensors
4. Quiet inflation
5. Built-in airpump
6. Blackout curtains
Color Options
Currently offered in a stone grey color. It might be hard for us to expect any other colors to be produced at the moment, but we'd love to see the Air Cruiser in a jet black or dark navy!
Installation
Installation is easy and simple. All you really need are crossbars on top of your car, and as long as you have the standard size and security clips, you're pretty much good to go!
Reward Price
Get it for $2,199 during the Early Bird Special, which 27% off of MSRP! It's a little up there but we stick by the product and wouldn't cover something we don't agree with.

What We Love
1. Environmentally Friendly
The air cruiser is part of a carbon negative campaign that allows every packer to make a real impact on the planet. When you purchase an air cruiser from them, you can rest easy, knowing that your purchase hasn't left a carbon footprint. Instead, you'd be supporting Tri-City forests, and the Laos water purification campaign.
2. Trusted Campaign
At Cinch, they know what they're doing. With their knowledge and expertise, they know exactly what it takes to deliver a successful campaign. As a bonus, they’ve partnered with Wildland, a world-renowned rooftop tent manufacturer.
What We Don't
1. Shipping Costs
Unfortunately, the shipping costs for the Air Cruiser run pretty darn high. You're looking to drop $299+ depending on where you are. Oof! We love the product and still think it's worth it, but we'd understand if the shipping fees might be your turning point. Shipping such a heavy-duty product isn't easy! And we can see how the costs could add up from a business perspective.
Is it Worth it?
We think the Air Cruiser could really change up your camping experiences. Who wouldn't love the one-touch easy setup, and timeless installation method? The ambient lighting, extra storage, spacey interior, and special features sold us. Although the price point is steep, we think it's worth it. If you're a regular camper, and have the means to carry the tent on your car, you should go for it! Experience a simpler, stress-free camping trip with your loved ones.
