For extreme performance.
The 8K range is designed for base camps and very high altitudes. Designed to withstand all conditions, this range meets extremely demanding specifications for lightness and protection when the tent is a survival tool.
The monolithic polyurethane membrane of the Samaya ASSAUT2 8K tent has been developed and optimized to meet the requirements for use in extreme environments, where conditions are cold and dry at very high altitudes. Its properties guarantee high performance with a waterproofness of 20,000 mm and breathability values up to 20,000 g/m²/24h. Moisture transfer is activated by a chemical process depending on the temperature/humidity gradient between the inside and outside of the tent.
Combining the 37.5® dynamic thermoregulation technology with the Polyurethane membrane speeds up the evacuation of ambient humidity present inside the tent. Where water freezes very quickly, the combination of these two technologies strongly limits the formation of frost inside your tent.
The Samaya ASSAUT2 8K is designed to climb the most vertical faces. Extremely reliable and robust, it uses technologies that have been specifically optimized for use in extreme cold. This assault tent will serve as a refuge during your acclimatization and final ascent attempts.
Because every detail counts in expeditions and because those details ultimately make the difference, the Samaya ASSAUT2 8K has been carefully developed and considered down to the smallest detail and finish, be that from the point of view of safety or function.
The 8K range was developed for base camps and expeditions in extreme conditions, typically in the Himalayas or the polar regions. It has been designed for safe and comfortable access to places previously inaccessible to humans.
From base camp with the Samaya BASECAMP, to the acclimatization and the final push with the Samaya ASSAUT2 8K, the 8K range has been structured to meet all the needs of an expedition with the main requirement of being able to face any type of conditions. Every piece of equipment in the range has been thought through and developed with this in mind.
The shape, structure and materials have been optimised to offer the best performance in extreme cold or wind, while guaranteeing lightness and comfort when the tent is a survival tool. Such a high level of technical performance requires a long and rigorous research and development process. Numerous tests in all conditions are essential and allow us to push the limits even further.
The mineral blue of the 8K range of products was not chosen by chance. It pays homage to the high-altitude lakes found in certain regions of Nepal and the Himalayas. It is because this region of the world teaches commitment and humility that it has been given a central place in the range that is the closest to our core goals.
