G'day Lena,

Generally a 4 season tent is one designed for snow in Alpine conditions. It doesnt really cover ambient temperatures as a tent has no insulative qualities - eg. you can get minus temps overnight in the desert, and a 2 season tent would be more than fine for that.
Season rating relates to the waterproofing of the materials, and the structure of the tent frame.
Theres no reason why you cant use a Zempire tent in cold conditions.

The only thing worth noting is that no camping tents or shelters on the market are designed as a permanent structure, meaning for longterm daily use.  Majority of synthetic tent options would struggle to last a year in this case.

If you are needing a tent that will last as long as possible with daily use, you'd be best off looking for a canvas option.

G'day Pete,

You won't have any issues with Zempire air tents in wind, and the waterhead rating on the Aerospeeds is the standard for family camping tents in Australia.
I've personally not heard mixed reviews or negative feedback on these, so I'd be curious to hear what other people have issues with.
As with any family tent, you may need to upgrade the pegs depending on your camp ground, and if you need heavier duty ones.
There is a wall set available which you may want to add on if you wanted to be they're mostly for privacy if you want the internal windows open for ventilation, and completes that second skin in winter - although it makes no different to the waterhead rating as the tent is fully waterpoof as it comes.
Theres no concern from our perspective on material or build quality, but being specifically designed for compact and lightweight car camping, its not as feature heavy as their other tent lines.


Let us know if you have any specific concerns or more details on the mixed feedback.  That may help us to help guide you in the right direction.
