RATELWORKS Launches ZEELE AIR Family Tent with Air Frame Structure — Second Lot Already Sold Out

Osaka-based outdoor brand RATELWORKS has officially released the ZEELE AIR (ゼーレエアー), a new family camping tent built around an air frame structure. Demand has been strong from the start — following its debut at public events and a preview sale period, the second lot also sold out shortly after the official launch.

Extraordinary Livability Through Air Frame Construction

The standout feature of the ZEELE AIR is its impressive ceiling height, made possible by the air frame structure. Conventional aluminum pole designs face physical limits when it comes to headroom and interior volume, but by using pressurized air beams, the ZEELE AIR achieves a sense of openness that makes it easy to forget you're inside a tent.

Adults can move around fully upright, children have room to play freely, and the whole family can relax without feeling cramped — the interior is designed to function as a genuine living space rather than just a place to sleep.

Full-Mesh Design for Open-Air Comfort

The ZEELE AIR features large mesh panels across the entire structure. In full-mesh mode, the tent takes on the feel of a screen tarp, allowing air to flow through and offering an unobstructed view of the surrounding landscape. For moments when shade or privacy is needed, the panels can be angled or raised as the situation demands.

Setup in as Little as 3 Minutes

Despite its generous size, pitching the ZEELE AIR is straightforward. Because the tent frame and air tubes are integrated, inflation alone raises the structure. Using the included hand pump takes approximately 8 minutes; with an optional electric pump, the tent can be fully set up in around 3 to 5 minutes.

RATELWORKS Air Frame Engineering

Rather than relying solely on air pressure to hold the tent up, RATELWORKS applied principles from architectural beam design to the air frame layout. This helps the structure resist lateral forces. A full-perimeter connection system further improves rigidity compared to conventional air tents, combining the flexibility typical of inflatable designs with the stability expected of a large family shelter.

Features Designed for Family Camping

The ZEELE AIR includes a range of details aimed at reducing small inconveniences during multi-person camping trips:

• Fully opening inner tent with direct access
• Large roof ventilation
• Generous internal storage pockets
• All-season skirt for ground sealing
• Light-blocking PU coating
• High-durability BF fabric
• Daisy chain anchor points as standard

Strong Reception Since Event Debut

The ZEELE AIR first attracted attention when it was shown at public events prior to release. Following the official launch on May 31, 2026, the second lot sold out quickly, reflecting the continuing interest from campers.
