How to choose size

We base our tent sizes on the maximum number of people who can sleep in the tent, hiking style. Choose a larger tent to experience the true comfort of our Nordic tipis. We call it “comfortable living”.

Comfortable living

To get more space for socialising and camping equipment inside the tent, the comfortable sleeping number is less than the number in the product name.

Hiking tent sleeping

The tent size number is based on how many people that can sleep in the tent according to a normal hiking tent. You can fit one more than the number says.

Socialising

In a Nordic tipi you have space for socialising and plenty of headroom. Double the tent size number for the approximate amount that can sit down and socialise in the tent.

Three quality grades

Most Tentipi Adventure products are available in three different quality grades – Pro, Comfort, Base – to suit a variety of needs. All our products are made for demanding adventures in all kinds of conditions. Pro has the most features and the highest quality of material. Comfort is medium grade in all aspects. Base is a high-end product, but in our world basic in features and material.

Pro

Top quality material and our most advanced features. Designed to meet the high demands for adventures in extreme conditions.

Comfort

High-quality materials, equipped with smart features. Comfort products are designed for intermediate use, features are similar to Pro level products but with slightly less versatility.

Base

Good standard materials. Fewer features than Pro and Comfort but still a very strong product with good functionality. Basic in our world, used and trusted by professionals, nonetheless.

Tentipi Nordic tipi vs dome/tunnel tents

Tentipi tents

Because it is symmetrical, the load on the tent does not change when the wind changes. Most of the tent area that’s under wind pressure is near the ground, where the wind speed is lower. Only a small, slim area projects higher than other tents.

Small risk of anything breaking because all the pegs can be properly secured while the fabric is lying flat on the ground. It is not until the tent fabric is tightened that the strain on pegs and the central pole increases.

The central pole is crucial. However if it breaks, it is easy to replace or repair it using on-the-spot natural materials.

The strain on the main pegs increases, resulting possibly in them being pulled up.

If the main pegs loosen, the tent will fold in with little risk of it being damaged.

Snow that slides down the tent wall and builds up around the bottom will soon beome a heavy load on the tent. The storm cords provide considerable support for the tent fabric. However, if the load is heavy enough, something will break, unless the tent pegs loosen first.

Dome/Tunnel tents

When the wind hits the short end, the area under pressure is very small. But, when the wind changes direction and hits the long side, the pressure on the tent increases considerably.

Dome tents are often difficult to put up in stormy weather and they are easily damaged before the storm cords are tightened. It is easier to secure tunnel tents and get them ready with pre-tightened storm cords before raising them.

If the poles break, you must have spare poles with you or a repairs kit. There is a risk of damaging the tent fabric.

The storm cords must be tight in order to minimise the risk of the poles breaking. If that happens the tent will be unusable. Broken poles can damage the tent fabric.

The storm cords will loosen, they must be tight in order to minimise the risk of the poles breaking.

Small amounts of sliding-off snow can collect without putting a strain on the fabric. When snow sticks to the fabric, the weight increases rapidly. Then the storm cords give no support because the load of the snow is coming directly from above.
