What this Zempire Pronto 10 Tent is about

So here you have their larger tent in the Pronto series, they have a smaller Pronto 5 which is also presented here in the site. They have some common features but the size is very different.

The tent cam be described as a cabin-dome hybrid. The sides are straight and steep as typical for cabin tents, but the roof is a dome with X-crossed support structures.

The floor plan below reveals some details, so the central gray area is the floored space. On the left you can see its vestibule and on the right is also a sort of vestibule for storage but it access is from inside.

I give the floor plan again below because it shows more numbers, so you can get some feeling about the actual space. For example, this shows that the vestibules are not particularly deep.

The tent can be described as freestanding but you have all stakes and ropes to secure it properly to the ground. The picture below shows its actual height so you realize how impressive this tent is. I have included it in my list of very tall tents for camping. The green areas are mesh, but they are paired with panels of course.

The rooms, doors & windows

The tent has a zippered divider so the inner can be used as a 2-room tent or as a single room tent. In the first case, each of the rooms has its own door visible in the picture below.

Each of rooms also has a separate access to the rear storage vestibule. This you can see in the floor plan given above where the rear access points from the tent are indicated.

As for windows, each of the two doors is double-layer with a mesh and with a panel, so these can be used as windows as well.

On the sides, the complete walls are also double-layer with mesh and with inner zippered panels. This means you can use them as gigantic windows. The picture below shows one of them.

As for external door(s), you have the huge front panel that creates the vestibule. So you can unzip it completely and create an awning with a large covered shed for sitting.

But this panel can also be open on the sides and fixed in the middle. This creates two narrow doors. They are indicated with those yellow arrows in the floor plan above. So this is a unique and versatile design.

Ventilation

You have already seen how much mesh this tent has so when the sky is clear you can have as much ventilation as you want. When it is raining, you will keep the front vestibule closed, but you can still keep the inner doors with mesh only because they are fully protected.

Note also that you can ventilate the tent on the rear side where the fly can be rolled up as shown in the picture below. You can see also the rear zippered openings, they are with mesh and with panels.

Air beams & materials

I would say this is the best part of the tent. Inflatable frame here includes interconnected beams with a single-point inflation and with a double-seal Boston valve. This allows for the entire tent to be inflated from one point speeding up the process dramatically.

This type of valve includes an outer threaded cap and a one-way valve for inflation, plus a secondary master thread that opens fully for deflation. The tent is very easy to use and one person can do the job, you can see this in the video:

But you have multiple deflation points that allow for faster deflation, speeding up teardown and preventing air from getting trapped in any of the beams when you start rolling up the tent.

The tubes are welded, and this is their SeroLink frame system. It connects the frame directly to the fly offering increased strength and flexibility while reducing weight and bulk.

The tent comes with an included double-action pump with pressure gauge, pressure release valve and a carry bag.

The poles: So the tent’s main support is through the mentioned air beams, but there are solid poles here as well. You have 3 fiberglass brow poles in 10 sections with 9.5 mm diameter, for additional stability. They prevent the tent from twisting in the wind and they also increase internal headroom.

You have seen the awning setup in the pictures above, the poles for this are included. This is an extra bonus and a great feature, the awning extends the space so you have a place to sit in the shade.

The fabric: The canopy is a 75D 190T polyester, and the fly is the same fabric but PU coated, and they claim it was torrential rain tested. The waterproof rating is 3000 mm.

The fabric is with an UV treatment to help extend their life. The floor is a 14 x 14/180 g/m² polyethylene, and it is bathtub style so you are safe from ground water and splashes. 

Other details

• Webbing peg points and adjustable peg loops.
• Reflective guylines made from low-stretch 3.5 mm polyester cord with aluminum tri sliders.
• Zippers are anti-grit reversed with 2-way zipper heads and glow zip pullers.
• 2 Pocket storage ladders. This is a useful storage space on the wall for lots of stuff to keep it off the ground.
• Zempire LRS light rigging system (lights not included).
• E-cable port. Its position is shown in the floor plan above.
• 25 Pegs – 6 mm thick and 180 mm long.

Warranty

The tent comes with their 2-year warranty. They claim Zempire will repair or replace this tent, should it fail due to faulty materials or manufacture for a period of 2 years from the date you purchase.

Who is it for

Regarding the area, the tent is officially for up to 10 people, and for this it offers 156 ft² (14.5 m²). This would mean 15.6 ft² (1.45 m²) per person which is not so much. The two vestibules add 59.2 ft² (5.5 m²), so the overall protected area is indeed huge. 

You have seen the floor plan with the suggested way of using it for sleeping. So this is a backpacking principle but this is not a backpacking tent, I would say the declared capacity makes no much sense.

Regarding seasons & climate, the fabric is with a great waterproof rating and reliable so you will be protected from the elements. The tent is ventilated and closable, so I would say this is a true 3-season tent. Their tents are built for the wet and windy environments of New Zealand and the UK. 

It is tall and the fly is such that I would not use it in very windy places. But if this happens, it is best to turn its rear side in the direction of the wind.

Regarding the weight, with its 56 lb 6.4 oz (25.6 kg) this is a heavy structure. The packed size is (L x D) 28.3 x 16.5 inches (72 x 42 cm) so it is a bit bulky. But note that the total covered area is 20 square meters. In any case, this is a tent for places with a car access.
