Gipfel Kamet range of tents are a step up from one of our oldest and most popular Fira series. There are some similarities between Firas and Kamets but given below is how Kamets are different from Fira series.
Kamet tents have two doors and two vestibules as opposed to one door and one vestibule in Fira series.
The inner tent in Kamet series has 2 layers of doors (no-see-um mesh and Nylon) whereas the Fira has one layer of door. The double layer is especially helpful in cold weather.
The outer tent goes low enough to make this a 4 seasons tent
The Peak Height is 8 cms more than Fira series, so that means more head room and a bit better ventilation
Finally, the biggest difference is that despite being bigger than Fira, Kamet tents due to design and materials used, are 10-15% lighter than Fira tents.
Kamet tent is a sturdy dome tent with 2 doors and 2 vestibules. The tent is generously ventilated and has large head room. The tent is easy to setup and comes with 9.5 mm Aviation grade aluminium poles. The webbing are Nylon 6,6 and the zippers are YKK (no. 8) that will not jam even in frigid weather.
The outer rainfly and groundsheet are fully seam taped and then tested under heavy rain. The ground sheet is bathtub style with minimal seams and reinforced stress points.
Savanna series offers classic dome design at a budget for camping and commercial operations. They are similar in design to our popular Fira series.
Savanna series is designed for three-season usage, and can also be extended to mild winters.
The Fibreglass poles offers generous stability, and the interiors are expansive and airy. The tent is built to withstand heavy downpours of rain, and even light snow. The materials are of high quality. They are slightly heavier than the materials of Fira series but very durable and more rugged than the Fira series.
Unlike most tents in this range and specification that use Fiber glass poles, Savanna series use Aviation Grade Aluminium poles.
The assembly instructions of Savanna 3, Savanna 4, Fira 3 and Fira 4 are identical.
