"When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I only think how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."

Stabilität - Das Geodätische Prinzip
HEIMPLANET Tents look different from conventional tents. However, the striking aesthetics were not the aim of the design process, but a consequence of the functionality. In the search for a suitable structure for our tents, we came across the so-called geodesic dome - the lightest, strongest and most efficient structure ever developed. Geometric transformations of this basic structure have resulted in the HEIMPLANET the tent models you know today.
Fistral
FISTRAL is the name of our inflatable tent for 1-2 people. Its compact design offers great flexibility and minimal pack size and weight. Two entrances and two vestibules ensure maximum comfort. The tent can be set up in less than a minute using a pump.
Kirra
Kirra is our inflatable tent for 2 people with lots of equipment. Thanks to its special frame structure, Kirra offers a good balance between comfort and efficiency. The geodesic principle makes the tent particularly storm-proof. The inflatable Diamond Grid (IDG) not only guarantees stability, but also intuitive and easy pitching.
The Cave
THE CAVE was our first inflatable tent, still iconic and perfect for 2-3 people. All you need is a pump to set up your tent in less than a minute. Thanks to its geodesic dome construction with ten crossing points, THE CAVE is extremely stable and, thanks to the high-quality materials, also weatherproof and durable.
Backdoor
Backdoor is the 4-person tent from HEIMPLANET - perfect for families or groups of up to 4 people. It is designed for a wide range of uses and is perfect for camping from spring to fall. The front entrance has a spacious vestibule that provides easy access to the main tent via a split inner tent door.
Cloudbreak
Named after a large wave on the Fiji Islands, the Cloudbreak is a reliable, flexible and easy to use tent for group and family camping and overlanding. With an additional sleeping cabin for up to 4 people and plenty of space for cooking and living, Cloudbreak is like a home away from home.
MAVERICKS
Our MAVERICKS multi-purpose tent is specially designed for extreme conditions. It can be used as a base camp or group tent, for example. It has an internal height of two meters and a floor area of more than 13 square meters. The entire tent can be set up by one person in a very short time.

One-Pump-System und 2-in-1-Ventile
The air frame has several valves. However, as the struts of the frame are connected via connecting hoses, one valve is sufficient to inflate the entire tent (multi-chamber safety). Each chamber of the air frame has 2-in-1 valves, each with two closures: a non-return valve for easy inflation of the air frame and a large opening for easy deflation. This allows the tent to be set up and taken down quickly and efficiently.

Patentiertes Mehrkammer-Sicherheitssystem
Our patented multi-chamber safety system allows you to inflate the entire airframe using only one of the valves. After inflation, the connector tubes between the air chambers can be closed. Unlike conventional tents, the frame remains stable even if one section fails.

Doppellagige Konstruktion
The air struts are made of a robust two-layer construction. An extra airtight TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) Bladder keeps the air inside for a longer period of time and the robust outer shell protects against any environmental influences.
