3 SEASONS

LAUNCH OF SAMAYA INSPIRE2 AND SAMAYA OPTI1.5

  

 
Samaya will soon be celebrating five years since the launch of its very first tent. Until now, Samaya has focused on the development of 4-season tents, capable of coping with the most extreme conditions. For the first time since its creation, Samaya is launching a 3-season tent with two unique products: the Samaya INSPIRE2 and the Samaya OPTI1.5. To mark the occasion, Ghislain Pipers, the company's co-founder and CEO, answers our questions.
 
Why a 3-season offer?
 
Ghislain Pipers: Samaya started out by focusing on the design of excellent mountaineering tents, aiming to set the benchmark in this field and encourage the art of bivouacking in all conditions and with simplicity. We began by designing 4-season tents to exacting standards of performance, lightness and comfort. We designed these first products according to our own needs as bivouac enthusiasts, realizing that it was difficult to find satisfactory products on the market. However, the practice of winter bivouacking (4 seasons) remains marginal on a global scale. Most of the activity is concentrated on 3-season bivouacs, in milder conditions and with different requirements. We therefore decided to take up this new challenge by creating the 3-season tent of tomorrow. This less extreme environment opens up a wide range of uses and practices, from fastpacking and itinerant trails to climbing, trekking and backpacking.

 
How can we capitalize on the know-how acquired over the past 5 years?
 
GP : Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of materials, we have developed skills, technologies and expertise in the creation of high-performance tents for winter conditions (4 seasons). We have worked with these materials, assembly techniques and geometries, using our own product development and validation processes, to offer an innovative version of technical tents for 3-season use. We have exploited our expertise in designing equipment for winter conditions, using Dyneema® and Nanovent® in particular. For example, our Samaya OPTI1.5 model is a hybrid construction using Dyneema®, a fully waterproof and extremely resistant composite for the floor and vestibule. The tent walls, meanwhile, are made with Nanovent® technology, a three-layer fabric with a breathable, waterproof membrane specifically optimized for tents.

 
Why talk about reinvention in the 3-season market?
 
GP The spring, summer and autumn seasons have their own specific constraints, which means that 3-season tents have to be both efficient and reliable in these specific conditions. Our ambition is to accompany enthusiasts in their projects, to help make them inspiring experiences. This is typically the promise of our Samaya INSPIRE2 tent, which offers a wide-angle view thanks to its two removable vestibules. At the same time, the cross-pieces ofpoles make it highly wind-resistant. The Samaya INSPIRE2 offers an experience where we are both indoors and outdoors, combining the comfort of shelter with total immersion in nature. The Samaya OPTI1.5 is our minimalist approach to the 3-season tent, with no compromise on performance or durability. We push all limits to design an ultralight, high-performance, durable and comfortable product.
