Does anyone know where to get one of those inflatable tents that look like this:
They are similar in structure to those, but are smaller versions that have screens on the sides. I've seen them in Best and Ozone video clips, but I'm having trouble finding the video clips right now.
Does anyone know how much they cost and/or if they can be purchased by consumers?

The hardest part is bringing yourself to cut up a perfectly good kite!
That particular kite was passed around by many of our locals, who all paid their dues on it, so it has a bit of special meaning to some of us.
It was only right to retire it in style....

Contact your local ozone retailer or distributor.. They should be able to source one for you with or without logos.
The tent in the picture has sides that zip on and off..

Yep and ozone dealer can get one of the tents for you, they are not in production all the time, tend to be made in batches, but definitely still available to order.
best price is for one with ozone logos, but you can order them plain or with any branding on them.
Not sure of price, sending this from home. I think about $2500USD???

X-Gloo's are solid inflatable tents, overpressure valves, durable
construction, no need for electricity, designed according to individual desire and you can
zip different ones together.
