Did you know that Lowland were the first tent makers to realise the importance of controlling the ventilation in expedition tents?
This resulted in the 'Venturi-Airflow-System', an active ventilation system which is installed for example in the Mountaintracker and Trailrunner.

We have also developed 'Extreme Weather Pitching', with a special pole sleeve and anchoring clip system.
These systems were first to be found in our professional tents such as the IceCap XPD and later in the Mountaintracker and Conquest.

Lowland have developed through the course of years, not only innovative improvements raising the performance of our tents, but also interaction with our suppliers developing new materials and components such as 'X-ply'. This extremely tear-resistant fabric was initially developed as groundsheet material for our pole tents. Later this material is now even used in rucksacks and even shoes.

But what identifies Lowland the most, are the tents themselves; new shapes and provocative models designed with function and performance continuously in mind.
 
         
   
Lowland are permanently busy testing new materials, construction techniques, and developing existing or new improved tent models. We experiment with new seams and laminate techniques the same as in advanced mountaineering clothing and rucksacks.

We are researching other developments such as speedy foldable tent frame systems, which are incorporated into the tent making pitching even simpler and faster. These new developments will soon be found in our professional tents.
Of course we also look at the way tents are used nowadays, such as 'Alpine Climbing Style'. Instead of setting up a basecamp and a number of sub-camps on the route, climbers take their equipment in one go, being able to climb more rapidly this way. We are currently testing new tent designs for this dynamic form of mountaineering.
