Pump it up
HEIMPLANET’s inflatable tents aren’t supplied with a pump, because they quite sensibly reckon that many outdoor enthusiasts (we’re looking at you, bikepackers and SUPers) probably already have one. You might also prefer a smaller or larger pump depending on whether you’re travelling with a vehicle or ponying your own gear. HEIMPLANET themselves produce two different models – this standard size one and a more portable version. The HEIMPLANET pump is made with a long-lasting aluminium piston, and also features double-action operation – which means that it pumps on both the up and down strokes. It’s so effective that it’ll get most of their tents fully inflated in less than a minute, and it also comes with a variety of different attachments so you can use it to pump up tyres, SUPs, sumo suits etc.

We’ve all been there… trying to pitch a tent at the end of a long day when the rain’s lashing down and you’re dead on your feet. For the team at HEIMPLANET, their particular low point came during a surf trip on the Portuguese coast in 2003. As they struggled to get their tent up in the dark and the wet, they began to wonder if there might be a better way.
Eight years later, this Hamburg-based outdoor gear brand launched their first quick-pitch inflatable tent. They’ve since followed it up with several more models and a rapidly expanding line of bags, accessories and clothing. Their gear has a distinctively streamlined, almost sci-fi design – it’s genuinely adventure-ready kit that looks smart enough for the city.
But it’s in their eco-credentials that these guys really shine. Not only are they fully paid-up members of 1% For The Planet, but you won’t find anyone out there with more exacting sustainability standards. Concerned that many recycled fabrics on the market weren’t as green or as durable as they could be, HEIMPLANET set about developing their own low-impact ‘Dyecoshell’ material. Their kit is so tough that they offer lifetime repair support, and if you do manage to wear it out then they’ll give you a partial refund if you send it back to them to be recycled into new products.
