It’s hard funding a Kickstarter campaign these days, and even harder to make people believe the campaign you are projecting is real and not a scam. When Handybro, a seasoned campaigner, was about to launch a third Kickstarter campaign, it had to post videos of the previous two models from its foundry to develop confidence among potential backers that they were not being scammed. This time around, Handybro has set bets on XenoNest, a two-story air house targeted for bigger families who want to spend quality time outdoors.
Building on the success of THEDOOKAN and Dookan Loft Penthouse, XenoNest two-story tent is designed for all-season comfort. Unlike traditional tents, Xenonest is handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail and innovation.“ Every component is carefully constructed with the world’s first tension control frame, ensuring stability and durability like never before. It’s not just a tent; it’s a luxurious, adaptable living space that takes camping to a whole new level,” claims the maker.
The biggest highlight of the tent is ‘Exposed Airbeam Technology’. Traditional tents can be a hassle because of damp airbeams that are hard to maintain since they are hidden behind layers of fabric and often difficult to clean. This is where XenoNest comes to campers’ ease. The two-story tent features ‘fully exposed airbeams’ and a modular fabric system, which is easy to clean and maintain. “Each section can be easily removed and cleaned, preventing mold buildup and ensuring longevity,” states the maker.
Xenonest’s airbeams also offer exceptional durability to the camper. Whether you’re camping in the summer heat or braving winter’s chill, these beams are capable of withstanding strong winds and harsh conditions. As per the maker, “The XenoNest airbeams are engineered to withstand powerful winds of up to 20 m/s (44.7 mph), with multiple D-ring points for secure ground staking. This ensures your shelter stays grounded no matter the weather.” On top of that, XenoNest’s dual-layer mesh and skin fabric system further offers comfort and adaptability year-round.
Another talking point of the camping accessory is the unparalleled customization on offer for every adventurer. Whether a camper prefers an open, airy space or a cozy, enclosed retreat, XenoNest’s modular design offers the flexibility an outdoor enthusiast needs. This is possible courtesy of zippers that allow campers to zip on or off fabric panels and create the perfect balance of openness and privacy.
XenoNest offers a two-story, three-room setup that is perfect for big families. As evident in the pictures, the first floor serves as a living room. It can have a hammock frame or additional space, whatever the camper prefers. The second floor offers a private bedroom space. For those concerned about the summer heat, the inner tent floor can be unzipped, allowing the fan’s (that’s supposedly in the main floor) breeze to flow through the entire tent interior.
Inside, you’ll also find an abundance of hanging points and adjustable height options, allowing you to personalize your interior space. There is no word on the exact number of people it sleeps, but given its versatile and customizable nature, the two-story tent can easily accommodate a minimum of six people.
Now the question arises – how heavy is XenoNest to carry around? Despite its two-story structure, XenoNest weighs 25kg (about 55 lbs.), thus being easy to take along for your next planned trip. We won’t consider it to be extremely lightweight, given the quality of tents that are ruling the market today, but since it hosts a range of features, we won’t be too harsh on it weighing a little above 50lbs.
Anyway, the weight isn’t a hindrance when setting up the tent. “With XenoNest, assembly takes less than five minutes and requires no special tools. Even if you’re alone or a beginner, you can have your XenoNest up and ready with minimal effort,” claim the makers. Considering the price of modern-day camper trailers, XenoNest sounds like a more feasible shelter for families seeking a little extra space when adventuring off the road.
The two-story tent can be reserved for $1,130. This is only the basic air tent and the groundsheet. If you want the full package (tent, frame, ladder, tarps, and other extras), you will have to fritter away $2,591.
