Trekking tents (SI and PU): Svalbard, Halland, Oppland, Telemark and Otra in heavier fabrics with a 3,000 mm flysheet, for longer trips and rougher ground.
SP tents: the Seiland 2 SP and Seiland 3 SP tunnel tents in silicone-coated polyester, with a flysheet that reaches the ground to keep out snow and sand.

Technical cotton tents: Asgard, Alfheim, Utgard, Ydun, Vimur, Midgard and Vanaheim, from two people to groups of 16.

Fabric codes

The code in a tent's name tells you the flysheet fabric. Figures are the hydrostatic head of the flysheet and the floor.

ULW: silicone-coated nylon, 1,600 mm flysheet, 3,600 mm floor. The lowest weight.
LW: 10D nylon rip-stop with three layers of silicone on both sides, 2,000 mm flysheet, 8,000 mm floor.
SI: 40D nylon rip-stop with a tear strength of 15.1 kg, 3,000 mm flysheet, 10,000 mm floor.
PU: 68D polyester coated on the inside, with taped seams, 3,000 mm flysheet, 8,000 mm floor.
SP: silicone-coated polyester.
Technical cotton: 65 % polyester and 35 % cotton, uncoated, 350 mm.

The same model often comes in several fabrics. The Halland 2 weighs 1.48 kg as LW, 2.47 kg as SI and 3.15 kg as PU.

Waterproof or water-repellent

With taped seams and a 3,000 mm flysheet, PU tents are waterproof apart from zips and openings. Silicone-coated SI and LW tents cannot be taped, so the fabric is folded four times at the seams and sewn with a cotton blend thread that swells when wet. All floors are taped. Technical cotton is water-repellent: the cotton swells in rain and closes the weave, and a fine mist inside when the rain starts is normal. Our trekking tent FAQ and cotton tent FAQ go into more detail.

Pitching and shape

Most of our trekking and family tents are outer-pitched: the flysheet and inner tent go up together, so the inner tent stays dry when you pitch in rain. The Halland 2 PU and Otra 2 PU are inner-pitched. Oppland, Halland, Seiland and Reisa are tunnel tents, which give a lot of floor space for their weight but need to be pegged out, ideally with the narrow end into the wind.

Choosing the size

The person rating is the number of sleeping places. If you carry large packs or want room to sit up and cook in the porch, choose one size up: 1-2 person tents, 3-4 person tents or 5-6 person tents.

Less condensation

All tents collect some condensation from the ground, wet gear and the people inside. Open the vents, keep wet clothes outside the flysheet and use a footprint, which blocks much of the moisture from the ground.

Parts and repairs

Model-specific footprints, pegs and guy lines are under tent accessories, and original pole sets and pack sacks under tent spare parts. Care & Repair in Görlitz repairs damaged tents.
