Safir™

Optimal shape

The symmetrical shape and low centre of gravity makes our Nordic tipis more secure in high and gusty winds than most other tent designs. The shape allows for open fire, standing height and space for good times.
Capacity of fire

The unique design enables fire-making inside the tent, for warmth, cosiness, cooking and increased safety when camping in cold climate. Use Hekla firebox or Eldfell stove for the best experience.
Pitching tools

Easy method for placing the tent pegs correctly using mounting cross and measuring tape, ensuring the best tension of the canvas and the right shape of the Nordic tipi.
Central Pole

Our Nordic tipis have only one pole, making them very easy to pitch. The five-piece pole is made from hardened aluminium alloy, making it light in weight and three times stronger than ordinary aluminium.
In-Tent Vent™

Our patented In-Tent Vent™ system allows you to adjust the ventilator cap, and thereby the ventilation and temperature inside the tent, without even leaving your sleeping bag.
Controlling six opening points of the ventilator cap, you can adapt the ventilation in relation to any wind direction.
Air Intakes

Safir has three large openings for air intake at floor level, fitted with mosquito net and adjustable from the inside. Including the mosquito netted door opening and In-Tent Vent, you can adjust the ventilation in relation to any wind direction.
Inner tent or floor

All our Adventure Nordic tipis can be used with a floor or inner tent.
Offering the floor and inner tent as accessories rather than having them built into the tent, allow you to combine products. Both floor and inner tent can stay mounted inside tent when packing down, no need to detach.
Tent fabric options

Safir is available in three different fabrics:
cp – canvas fabric in beige cotton/polyester.
eco – off-white canvas made from a blend of hemp, organic cotton and recycled polyester.
light – green polyamide fabric.
Tent fabric – breathability

cp – cotton/polyester: good breathing properties ensure a pleasant indoor climate with minimum condensation.
eco - hemp/organic cotton/recycled polyester: good breathing properties ensure a pleasant indoor climate with minimum condensation.
light – polyamide: non-breathing waterproof fabric, you can add an inner tent to protect you from condensation from the tent walls.
Reinforcement edge

A 50 centimetre high reinforcement at the bottom of the tent where the most wear occur. Stronger than the main fabric and with higher resistance to gravel, pointy rocks, moisture and rot.
Raisable walls

Only available on Safirflex and Zirkonflex models.
Using expansion panels, the tent can be pitched all sides down, all sides up or a combination of both.
Door fitted with mosquito net

Improves ventilation and allows you to have a view without letting mosquitos into the tent. Works as an additional ground level air intake, for more options when adjusting the ventilation in relation to wind direction.
Diagonal zip with rain flap

Two features that prevent water penetration. The flap covers the zip, and their diagonal position transport water, without getting into the zip, to the ground.
Chimney opening

Feature that allows the easy fitting of an Eldfell stove. Can be closed using Velcro when not in use.
Smoke opening

Large smoke opening ensures efficient ventilation on warm days and smoke clearance when using an open fire.
Double ventilator cap

Double piece cap with six opening points, controllable from inside the tent. Tight seal thanks to fibreglass rods.
Lower, large cap for ventilation and smoke clearance when having an open fire.
Smaller top cap used for clearing exhaust gases when the fire dies out. Fitted with mosquito net to keep insects out.
Mosquito-net ceiling

Allows ventilation through the ventilator cap without getting mosquitos into the tent. Must be opened and rolled away when using an open fire or a stove.
Storm cords

For extra wind resistance. Reflecting threads woven into the cords help you avoid tripping when walking around the tent in darkness with a flashlight.
Storm cord fastenings

Facilitate even distribution of strain on the tent walls. Firmly attached thanks to reinforced seams.
Storm cord holders

Allow cords to be in place ready for use, without tangling.
Fastenings for accessories

Equipped for accessories such as inside pockets, drying rail, detachable floor and inner tent.
Accessory sleeve

Built-in patented feature fitted with Velcro for attaching accessories such as porch or canopy. For size 15 tents an accessory connector can be used for attaching accessories.
Safety toggles

Using the toggles you can close the door even if the zip has been damaged.
Strain-relief for the tent walls

Reinforcements where ground straps attach to the canvas, distributing strain and increasing the durability of the tent. The angle of the attachments is calculated to give maximum strain relief.
Extra tightening feature

When folding the bottom edge of the tent inwards, use toggles and O-rings for tightening. This creates a flap which a floor will overlap, resulting in a higher level of protection against insects, wind and moisture.
Ground straps

Strong, adjustable ground straps are used instead of cords to anchor and tension the Nordic tipi.
Floor tensioners

For a stretched and smooth floor.
Cap for central pole

Keeping the canvas fixated to the central pole. Made of super-strong, durable braided bands to support the weight and tension of the entire tent.
Tent pegs

Several kinds depending on size of tent and material in order to optimise the weight-strength ratio. Snow pegs are available accessories.
Snow or sand pitching

The ground straps are ready for anchoring in snow or sand using accessory Snow and sand pegs or a branch.
Compression bag

Unique design which compresses the bag using a flap and straps.
