Our idea with Onyx was a Nordic tipi for less ambitious purposes or when low weight is a priority. We managed to reduce the price considerably but our customers don’t always think “less ambitious” – some use it in the most demanding circumstances.
By compromising a little on our stringent material requirements and by compensating with clever adjustments in the design, we have managed to create a reasonably-priced tent that is very durable and which we and our customers are very satisfied with.
One of the ways to reduce weight and price is to take away certain features. This we have done but without compromising on quality. Onyx combines the best characteristics of an ordinary tent with the unique traits of a Nordic tipi. For example, it has a simplified version of the indoor ventilation adjustment system that is standard on our more expensive models.
Easy to handle, ample space, allows socialising around a cosy fire in the centre - this Nordic tipi is so much more than just a tent. The unexpected functionality and durability means that even our basic model of Onyx is a very advanced tent.
Included Ventilator cap, door with net, central pole, storm cords, measuring cord, packing bag and standard tent pegs.
Strong and well-ventilating cotton/polyester fabric which gives an indoor climate far superior to that of a tent made of any kind of coated fabric. The fabric has a natural feel and its beige-brown colour creates a warm, pleasant atmosphere in the Nordic tipi. Very durable and with good water-repellent properties. The colour of the fabric can quickly fade in the sun, but the material retains its good properties and is many times more resistant to sunlight than lightweight materials (regardless of make). Mildew protection.
Approximately 275 g/m2.
Non-breathable – Traillix B
A carefully chosen standard fabric. Non-ventilating, grey, lightweight polyamide fabric, ripstop reinforced and PU-coated on one side. Rainproof even after long-term use.
