Heimplanet The Cave Inflatable Tent

 THE CAVE

The first inflatable tent

Travel keeps you feeling alive. All your senses are on alert, expecting something new to happen. You are constantly adapting to new situations, new people, new cultures, and new environments. There are fewer standard things and more things to discover.

   Nature has created one of the most efficient and stable structures – the molecular structure of the diamond.

    Based on this principle, the “Inflatable Diamond Grid” – IDG construction was created. This makes the tent easy to pitch and exceptionally stable.

    IDG is a self-supporting shell structure formed by 5 modular double-layer airbeams. They can be separated into five individual air chambers to ensure a stable position even in the event of damaged parts. They are made of laminated polyester fabric, which provides additional stability and durability. Our patented chamber „Multi System” makes it possible to inflate the entire frame (IDG) in just one single step. Once inflated, the frame can be divided into five separate chambers, providing sufficient resilience in case one section is damaged. All parts of the IDG can be easily replaced or repaired.

The CAVE features five 2-in-1 valves, each with two closures: a non-return valve for quick and easy inflation of the frame  and a large opening for easy deflation. So inflating and packing away the tent takes less than a minute.

OUTER TENT

MATERIALS

The outer tent is made of waterproof and durable, yet also ultra-light polyester material (100% 75D 190T polyester PU 5.000 mm).

FLEXIBILITY

The tent is designed so that the frame, inner tent, and outer tent can be erected simultaneously in a single step by inflation. However, this does not prevent the two parts from being used separately.

 AIR SUPPLY

5 ventilation openings ensure perfect airflow from the bottom to the top.

ROOF DESIGN

When the five airbeams are inflated, they form a star-shaped roof that is highly resistant to rain. Each of the star points together with the center of the roof forms the ridge of an individual gable roof.

INNER TENT

MATERIALS

The inner tent is made of lightweight, breathable, and also water-repellent fabric (nylon 40D 210T). Combined with the mosquito mesh, the tent offers exceptionally good air circulation.

GROUND SHEET

The ground sheet is made of very durable and fully waterproof polyester (Tafetta 70D 210T, PU 10.000 mm).

STORAGE SPACE

Numerous built-in pockets keep both small and large items within easy reach.

The vestibule is suitable for cooking or for storing dirty shoes.

Gear Loft

Additional space under the roof for storing gear or placing a lamp for diffused ambient interior light.

GROUND

In general, tents offer more space than necessary. The Cave, on the other hand, offers as much space as possible. An efficient geodesic design provides the best ratio between the material used and the space provided.

SLEEPING

„The Cave” offers sleeping space for 3 people, or seating for 6 in comfortable surroundings
