We want to start your journey right by understanding your needs

Our tent product managers start by observing your habits and listening to your desires. Understanding your motivations and paying attention to every detail ensures our tents meet your expectations. Some models are co-developed alongside our enthusiastic customers.

The initial tent design

Informed by thorough observations, our designers translate their insights into tangible designs. Each tent's size, volume, weight, compactness, and components are meticulously tailored to suit various sports and camper preferences.
From inception, eco-design principles guide our process. We prioritise solutions with minimal environmental impact, ensuring that our technical gear stands the test of time. Additionally, we embed reparability into our design ethos, facilitating easy access to common spare parts to extend the lifespan of our products.

And then, the tent springs to life

After meticulous planning, the tent takes form during the prototyping phase in our workshops.
Recall those initial sketches by the designers? Prototypiste use them as blueprints to sculpt the tent's structure, ensuring feasibility and exploring various assembly methods.
The initial prototype rarely matches the final product. With iterations often reaching one, two, or even three versions, we persist until we achieve the perfect final rendition.

Weather testing of a tent

Testing begins here

After the prototype receives approval from our design teams, it undergoes rigorous laboratory and field testing.
These tests guarantee that the equipment fulfils all the sport-specific requirements, including durability over time, ease of assembly, waterproofing, and wind resistance. Our testers meticulously assess and approve these tents to ensure their quality and reliability.
