The dependable Flame 1 tent from the Extreme range has been field-tested by members of numerous challenging high-altitude expeditions. For long years it has been one of our time-proven champions, and has been continuously improved. It’s suitable for mountaineering, ski mountaineering, or bicycle touring enthusiasts who prefer to carry out these outdoor activities solo. This double-skin freestanding tent with poles on the outside is light, making it suitable for carrying on longer journeys.

INNER TENT: Nylon 190T, mosquito net
nylon 190T
Very fine, light, and breathable synthetic fibres with sufficient strength and elasticity. That’s why they are very resistant to tearing or other mechanical damage. This material is also suitable for low temperatures because of its good thermal insulation properties.
Mosquito net
The fine, breathable, and yet durable material of which the inner mosquito net is made makes it possible for air to better circulate around the tent. This ensures great ventilation.
GROUNDSHEET: 190T polyester, polyurethane (coating 11,000 mm H2O)
190T polyester
This fabric is remarkable for its resilience. It’s sufficiently firm and elastic, as well as being very low in weight. This combination of properties is a priceless advantage – especially for tents.
Polyurethane (coating 11,000 mm H2O)
The polyurethane coating provides permanent impregnation and is applied directly onto the material in various layers. This special treatment of the material prevents water penetration. The coating parameter is given by the height of the water column (stated in mm H2O), in other words the ability of the material to withstand water pressure.
POLES: Dural
Dural
Thanks to its advantageous properties, this material is widely used for outer tent structures, especially for expedition tents where every gram counts. Dural is an alloy combining aluminum with other elements to give it a low weight and the ability to withstand a large loads.
OUTER TENT: 210T polyester ripstop, polyurethane (coating 7,000 mm H2O)
210T Polyester Ripstop
This is a very light material that’s tear-resistant. Synthetic polyester fibres improve the product’s ability to resist adverse weather, stop colours from fading, and deal with getting soaked – since they dry really fast. In addition, these properties are reinforced with the ripstop finish of the material. Fabrics woven using this technology prevent mechanical damage, and if any such damage occurs, they stop the rip from spreading further.
Polyurethane (coating 7,000 mm H2O)
The polyurethane coating provides permanent impregnation and is applied directly onto the material in various layers. This special treatment of the material prevents water penetration. The coating parameter is given by the height of the water column (stated in mm H2O), in other words the ability of the material to withstand water pressure.
