Spotlight shines on leading rooftop tent manufacturer’s interchangeable sheltering systems
Tepui Tents, a leading manufacturer of rooftop tents and outdoor adventure gear, announced it was awarded a utility patent for its innovative rooftop tent system. The new patented Zipper Gimpย system couples the tentโs base with the tentโs canopy allowing for interchangeable sheltering systems depending on weather or other conditions the user may encounter.
The Zipper Gimpย system is valuable not only to the end-user, but also to Tepuiโs vast network of retailers and distributors.ย Allowing several canopy styles to pair with a single base gives retailers the ability to provide a wide range of product options with less inventory and storage space.
โInnovation has always been a core value for Tepui,โ said founder Evan Currid, โAlthough prior innovations such as our Ruggedized line and our SKY tents have raised the bar with regard to product offerings, our patented Zipper Gimpย will provide greater flexibility to our customers and retailers across our entire line.โ
Tepuiโs first tent line to utilize the Zipper Gimp, the Tepui Baja Series, received awards at its August 2016 Outdoor Retailer debut in Salt Lake City. The Zipper Gimp system will roll out to Tepuiโs entire product line over the coming year.
In addition to Tepuiโs developments in tent design, the manufacturerโs line of accessories has expanded to feature custom fitted bedding for each tentโs included high-density foam mattress, boot bags for the โfront porchโ of the tent, and a hard shell tent with an integrated rack system that can accommodate a userโs gear. Tepui tents are available at Outdoor and Auto Accessory shops nationwide, as well as REI, Bass Pro Shops, Cabelaโs, Backcountry.com and Tepuitents.com.
