ARK is an eco tent that combines an inflatable structure with an elevated hammock

dubbed as the most versatile shelter ever, ARK is an inflatable eco tent that comes together through inflation, tension and compression. designed to be both stable and versatile, this tent can satisfy all of your gampling requirements as it can be assembled on the floor, or raised above the ground, like a hammock, but without the curve.

used as a tent on the ground or hanging like a hammock, ARK features a spacious inflatable exoskeleton and a single wall waterproof-breathable custom fabric. an open sky, as well as two wide doors and four large sealable aeration, guarantee proper air flow. To assemble it, you just have to connect the exoskeleton to a standard air pump and way from 30 seconds to 3 minutes — depending on the volume of the pump — for it to be ready to go. its strong fabric, inspired by kite surfing technologies, ensures ARK is perfect for any type of weather and terrain conditions, including the extreme ones.

ARK also features a carbon frame system — originally intended for military emergency stretchers — which is quickly deployed and fits easily into the ARK tent hem. an innovative multi-anchor points solution allows to hang the tent while setup in an ultra-stable installation. the tent can be hanged like a hammock, setting it between two stable elements (tree-to-tree, tree-to-vehicle, rocks, etc); or it can be suspended from a single point like a brand or under a bridge.

‘with the elevated full pack™ we have succeeded in creating a product that can freeze in the air, in order to remove the defects of the tent, without reaching the defects of the hammock. you have to try it to believe it.’
