The best choice for any outing in any condition where low weight is of
equal importance to strength, reliability, and roominess.

Tent Profile
The Nammatj and its extended vestibule version, the
Nammatj GT, are arguably our most versatile tents. Made with our Kerlon 1800
outer tent fabric and employing 10 mm poles, they are equal in strength and
stability to our Keron models, but because of their single entrance and
vestibule, they are impressively light in weight. They are superb in all
seasons for above tree-line use or for demanding, extended winter camping
trips, yet are easily light enough for long trips in more moderate climes.
Both the Nammatj and the Nammatj GT models have smaller footprints then
their Keron counterpart models, yet they have the same inner tent square
footage, and so are excellent for limited-space sites such as narrow ridge
lines or ledges. Both tents’ Tunnel Tent design is geared more for mobile
adventures, where you pitch and strike your tent every day, but both can be
used quite effectively for base camp-oriented trips, as well.
Who Uses the Nammatj & Nammatj GT?
Because of its very low weight and small footprint,
both the Nammatj and Nammatj GT have become immensely popular with extreme
users, such as polar travelers looking to save weight, mountaineers doing
remote routes in the highest ranges, professional guides, and military
special forces teams. But both models’ superb weight to strength ratio and
remarkable low weight are also highly prized by more “regular” users, as
well: backpackers, cycle and paddle tourers, and anyone needing maximum
strength while reducing weight.
Why Choose The Nammatj & Nammatj GT?
The Nammatj and Nammatj GT are the masters of both high
and low country, equally suited for a high altitude expedition or a weekend
walk in the local hills. These robust all-season, all-arounders pitch
quickly and easily, can be taken down and moved in a flash, yet are far
stronger and lighter than any other tent in their class.
§Our Tunnel design, with its single-opening, continuous pole
sleeve construction and linked inner and outer tents makes the Nammatj and
Nammatj GT easy and simple to set up.
§Kerlon 1800 outer tent fabric and 10 mm poles make for an
exceptionally stable tent.
§Pitching requires only four pegs, yet additional peg and
guy line points – 14 on the Nammatj and 18 on the Nammatj GT – provide a myriad
of options for increasing stability. Remarkably strong Spectra guy lines are
attached at two points to all poles sleeves on both sides of the tent, and
have two line runners each to ensure optimal tension. Each vent also has a
guy line with a line runner.
§Both Nammatj and Nammatj GT have spacious interiors with full
sitting height in most of the inner tent, one vertical inner tent entrance,
and, thanks to the tunnel design itself, near-vertical side walls.
§A single entrance and vestibule afford easy access and plenty
of storage space, but keep the weight very low.
§The entrance on the GT’s extended vestibule boasts a full
no-see-um mesh door (which can be zipped off completely), and a multi-slider
zipper door that can be opened from the top, side, or bottom.
§The Nammatj and Nammatj GT’s ventilation works regardless of
the weather conditions, since the inner tent fabric is highly breathable yet
water repellent, and since each end has a large
vent, placed high enough to
keep air moving even if the tent is dug down into deep snow. The vents,
backed with no-see-um mesh, have adjustable snow-proof panels which are
accessible from inside the tent – either through the vestibule for the front
vent, or through the the adjustable mesh and fabric venting panel in the
back wall of the inner tent for the rear one. In addition, the inner tent
door has a full no-see-um mesh panel covered with an equal sized,
zipper-adjustable fabric panel for greater venting and weather-protection
options.
