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.
Fira series of tents are designed for 3-season usage but we have tested it diligently even at an altitude of 5,000 meters and it performed amazingly well. If you are looking for a high-quality light-weight tent with self-contained stability and 3-season weather-proofness, this is your tent.
The interiors of this tent are ample for two persons. The tent is built to withstand heavy downpours of rain and even snow. The tent features aviation grade Aluminium poles in a classic X-pole dome type arrangement. The FIRA 3 and 4 persons also feature a very large vestibule.
The tent is also built with very durable materials that can take a lot of rough use and UV- exposure.
Fira is an all rounder tent and one of the most loved tents.
Let your imagination and adventures run wild. A sub one-kilo tent to strike out alone, fearlessly and uninhibited by anything or anyone.
Comes in two colors. Blend in or stand out. The choice is yours.
Light, and yet spacious.
Dual layer door with Nylon and Mesh, for better ventilation.
Optional pitching for rear Guy cords and Poles for additional room, or just use the rucksack / pack to keep the tent pitched down from inside (and save on the packed weight of the rear poles).
The tent is designed to prevent creases from forming, keeps the tent taut even under excess rain, and the water will not pool up on the tent.
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.
