Tents

Dome tent or tunnel tent? For one person or a larger group? What weight of tent can I carry with me? Does the whole family have to fit in one tent? Is the water column of the bottom 5,000 mm or 10,000 mm? You will find numerous tents of different sizes, weights and different characteristics.

JACK WOLFSKIN has been making tents for almost 40 years and has won numerous design awards and tests with his tents. Even in Finland, the tents have gained a reputation for almost 30 years.

One special feature of JACK WOLFSKIN's tunnel tents is the patented RT (Real Tunnel) arch system. This patent also won the Red Dot Design award in 2003. The arcs start outward from the base before bending upwards and are thicker at the sides of the tent and thinner at the top of the tent. This was tested and refined for years in Porsche's wind tunnel and finally a combination was found that greatly increases crosswind resistance. As a byproduct, the user's elbows get considerably more space and the tent's interior volume increased enormously. The father of the idea of ​​the arch is the Pelle Peloton of the outdoor world, Gerold Ringsdorf, and the arches are realized together with the world's best arch manufacturer DAC in South Korea.

When developing the tent, it was also noticed that thanks to the better duration of the side wind, the tent does not necessarily need long erecting cords. So a method had to be developed to make the apse stand upright with shorter strings. This gave rise to the idea of ​​the so-called of corner pins, corner edges, with which small tightening triangle the corners of the apses and also the attachment points of the arches can be trimmed really tight even with a short string. This also raised the corners of the apse, so again the interior volume of the tent increased again with a very small addition of material. Genius, isn't it?
