Our inspiration for this tent comes in fact from an ancient Norwegian form of a hut. The Gamme has been used since the first people came to Norway and used by the Sami until today.  Like all our tents, the Gamme also has storm-flaps all around the tent to make the tent even more stable with snow, sand or stones over the flaps.

A 4-season tent that provides shelter and protection in most conditions. Summer and winter. Even without the guylines, the tent stands very firmly in the wind. But when needed, the tent has a total of 10 guylines, with 4 extra guyout points to be used when needed. 

Although Gamme 8 is a spacious tent with a height of 216 cm and a diameter of 432 cm, the weight is only 12 kg. Not an ultralight tent. But light compared to size and construction. This because of the flysheet which consists of ripstop nylon coated with silicone on both sides. This combination provides an exceptionally light fabric, without sacrificing stability and strength. 

The tent can be quickly and easily to set up, even if you are alone. If you choose the inner-tent (purchased separately) this can be fitted together with the tent itself and carried mounted in the backpack.  The poles are designed to be on the outside of the tent, in which the poles carry the outer tent, not the inner tent as with many other tents. 

We know when leaving for an adventure, you have a lot of gear packed down and equipment that needs to keep track of. This is why we have equipped the inner tent with 4 pockets to hold and keep track of your small gear. In addition, you can hang up cords and lanterns in both the inner tent and the tent itself.

The flysheet is 100% waterproof. But like every other quality tent with this type of fabric, the seams have to be lubricated with a special mix of silicon to become fully waterproof.

Ventilation is a key factor to avoid condensation. This is why the Gamme 8 is equipped with a total of 6 air-valves. 4 in the top of the tent, where moist air is able to escape out of the tent, and 2 large air vents further down the tent for suction of air into the tent while providing plenty of oxygen if using a stove. 

All exposed areas on the outer fabric are reinforced with Dyneema fabric. Dyneema is considered the worlds strongest fabric. 

For cold days, you may want to seal the doors in the inner tent completely. For hot days you can open them, but still have sealed mosquito nets that protect against insects. In addition, you will find mosquito nets in both entrances of the outer tent.

Gamme 8 is designed around including a stove. Being able to have a warm, pleasant, and cozy tent is something we believe lifts the adventure to completely new levels. While the storm rages outside with ice-cold winds and rain, one can enjoy indescribable comfort inside the tent with 20-30 degrees Celcius.

The diameter of the stovejack is designed to accommodate a chimney pipe with a diameter of between 7-8 cm, allowing for efficient venting of smoke while ensuring safety and functionality.
