Gipfel Cora tent is a 4 seasons, lightweight tent with decently spacious interiors. The weight of the tent is not reduced at the expense of comfort or strength like many other light weight tents in the market. The textiles are light, yet very strong and made from our standard rip-stop Nylon 6,6 with Silicone and PU coatings. Girnar tents are semi dome and have a single pole frame having 3 way hubs on either side of the tent pole.
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.
Four Seasons, two person, Tunnel type tent with extra large vestibule and generous ventilation.
Norra Plus series is designed for 4 seasons use. The Plus series of Norra features very large vestibule (almost as big as the inner tent) keeping but at the same time using ultra light materials to achieve the lightest weight possible. The textiles, accessories and poles were chosen keeping weight in mind. On the other hand, the Norra LITE tent features same inner footprint as Norra Plus but smaller vestibule, which means even lighter weight.
The interiors of this tent are expansive and airy. The tent is built to withstand heavy downpours of rain and even snow. This Norra tents are perfect for use in base camps and by alpinists who need extra large vestibules.

Four-season, Three-person, Tunnel type hybrid tents.
Tethys Tents are our very uniquely designed Hybrid shaped tents. It combines the comfort and lighter weight of a tunnel tent with the stability of a geodesic dome shaped tents.
Generally, simple Dome tents are easy to setup because they are free standing and do not need guy lines to pitch them but they are not so stable in the wind and the head room is rather limited. Geodesic domes are far more stable than simple domes but they are complex to setup and are heavier. Tunnel tents are lighter in weight, easier to setup and have generous head room but they are not free standing. If you do not have enough space to extend guy lines, then it can be tricky to pitch them tightly. Additionally, rain water and snow can accumulate on the top of the outer tent between the poles.
Tethys tent combines the best of both worlds. It is roomy like a tunnel tent but has the free standing nature of a dome tent combined with structural stability of a geodesic dome. The aerodynamic shape and the sloping roofs easily sheds the water, snow and wind.
The interiors of this tent are expansive and airy. The tent is built to withstand heavy downpours of rain and even snow.
