About the original
The Heimplanet Cave XL is an inflatable three-person geodesic dome tent built around a five-chamber air frame with ten crossing points that pressurizes in under a minute with a single pump. Heimplanet, founded in Hamburg in 2003, replaced traditional tent poles with TPU bladders encased in tear-resistant 140-denier HPE Dacron; if one chamber fails, the remaining four hold the structure. The tent has 5.4 square meters of floor space, a 5000 mm water-column floor and 3000 mm flysheet, and packs into a 30-liter stuff sack. The Supreme version uses the same construction in a Supreme-branded colorway.
