Life Cube's new LC-8 is a tent like no other. It travels to the night's destination in the trunk of the vehicle and inflates into a 6.5-foot-high six-sleeper micro-cabin ... on the ground, atop a pickup truck or floating on the water.

Flextail has made it a mission to design battery-powered pumps tiny enough for even the most ultralight of camping trips. All those efforts have led to the new Zero, a pump so small it clips to a keychain and brings automated inflation everywhere.

The Pico FTC is Dometic's most compact tent and takes a few cues from the other side of the world. An inflatable Australian-style swag with an integrated air mattress, the Pico offers fast, seamless setup and all-in-one comfort.

Bike helmets can be bulky things to carry around, which is why we've seen ones that fold or collapse when not in use. The Inflabi takes yet another approach, however, in that it simply gets deflated and rolled up.

After decades of being synonymous with large RVs, Dometic has been leaning light and fast of late, pushing into simpler camper gear. Its new TRT 140 Air inflatable rooftop tent aims to keep up with adventurers who rise at dawn and get after it.

Way back in 2016, GoBoat introduced an odd-looking boating craft that sat the single occupant in the middle of a huge inflatable ring, and could be collapsed down for transport on land. Now the company has launched the much-improved Gen 2.0 PWC.

If you've ever tried piloting a drone, you'll know that they end up running into walls, trees or whatnot … often getting damaged in the process. An experimental inflatable-body drone, however, just bounces off obstacles – plus it can grasp onto them.
