SPECS
Mavericks is designed to be an expedition base camp tent with the competence of a storm shelter.
It is engineered to handle wind forces up to 180km/h. With three separated entrances, a removable floor
and multiple ventilation options it can be used in a wide range of climate conditions and can function
in various ways. Its iconic dome shape offers room for 10+ people which makes it a great group shelter,
a dining hall or communication center. With a weight of just 26.6kg, Mavericks is packed in a duffle bag
that can be checked in on commercial flights without the need for special arrangements.

Ground fixation: There is
one extra large adjustable
webbing with a loop at each
of the 10 ground elements of
the tent frame.
Groundsheet: The integrated
groundsheet is completely
removable if necessary and
shares an overlapping area
with the actual tent body
to improve the floor water
resistance. (you find more
information at Ground Area).
The air beams feature
a tough, double-layer
construction. An air-tight TPU
(thermo-plastic polyurethane)
bladder provides consistent
air pressure over long periods
of time. The outer sleeve
is made of an extra strong
polyester fabric, ensuring
outstanding rigidity and
durability.
Single Layer Tent: Mavericks
is designed to be an
extremely tough base- and
expedition tent and doesn’t
come with an additional
inner tent. Through its very
good ventilation it can still be
used as a sleeping shelter if
necessary.
Access and windows:
Mavericks comes with three
doors and three windows to
offer multiple access points
and a good overview of the
surrounding area (you find
more information at Access
and Windows).
Simplicity: Mavericks is
designed so that the tent and
the air frame can be set up
in one step (inflation). This
means that the air frame and
the tent must be assembled
only the first time - after that
they remain connected and
can be pitched and packed
down together.
 
The Inflatable Diamond Grid
(IDG) is a self-supporting
air frame inspired by the
molecular structure of a
diamond. Its design follows
the principle of a geodesic
dome. What sets it apart is its
high stability and its excellent
surface-area-to-volume ratio.
Lower ventilation: Mavericks
has five closable lower
ventilation areas spread
equally over the structure
to always offer a downwind
side to open (you find more
information at Adjustable
Ventilation).
The patented Multi Chamber
Safety System allows the
entire air frame (IDG) to be
inflated in one single step.
The inflated frame can then
be divided into ten separate
chambers with the one-pump
connectors, assuring stability
even if some parts are
damaged. All IDG parts can be
easily repaired or replaced.
Upper ventilation: Two
large and closable air vents
ensure perfect, upward air
circulation - even in the worst
conditions.
The IDG features ten 2-in-
1-valves, each with two
closures: a one-way valve
for quick and simple inflation
of the air frame and a large
opening for easy deflation.
So pitching and taking down
the tent is nearly effortless.
Tensioning options:
Mavericks frame comes with
multiple steel anchor points
for attaching guy lines for
additional stability in extreme
conditions (you find more
information at Advanced
Setup).

When you set up Mavericks for the first time you
need to connect the air frame to the tent. You only
need to do this once. Once they are connected,
you can pack everything “as is” into the tent bag.
The next time you use your Mavericks, simply
unpack it and pump it up. The tent will then set
itself up.
FIRST
ASSEMBLY
03 PUMP UP THE FRAME
You can now pump up the IDG until the struts are fully inflated with air. Everything else
happens by itself.
FIRST ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE:
01 SPREAD THE IDG (INFLATABLE DIAMOND GRID)
Spread out the IDG (Inflatable Diamond Grid/air frame), evenly on the ground. Make sure the
individual struts are not twisted when doing this. Now use the pump to partially inflate the
frame. To do this, simply connect the pump to one of the valves using the adapter. The pump
adapter can be found in a small bag together with the repair kit.
02 CONNECT THE TENT TO THE FRAME
Now spread out the tent and hang it suspended from inside the air frame. To do this, secure
the toggles to the D-rings.

Try to pay attention to have all of the air structure and
tent body wrapped inside the groundsheet - this helps
to keep the next step easy.
05 ROLL IT UP ONCE TO REMOVE MOST OF THE AIR
Then unroll and roll it up for a second time to expel the
remaining air - don’t be afraid of sitting on the package
to further reduce leftover air in the structure.
06 PLACE PACKAGE IN THE TENT BAG
Once in the bag you can further compress the package.
PACKING
*WE DO NOT PROVIDE PEGS WITH THIS TENT.
DEPENDING ON YOUR CAMP GROUND YOU MIGHT NEED A SPECIFIC KIND OF PEG
FOR MAXIMUM STABILITY
CAUTION
Apply your choice of peg*
to the ground fixation
webbings (10) and start with
adding moderate tension
to all anchor points before
applying final force for
maximum stability.

Mavericks consists of three components: The
frame, the tent body and the groundsheet.
Installing the groundsheet is recommenced if
you handle sensitive equipment, pitch on loose
or wet/dirty ground or if you consider sleeping
inside Mavericks.
In case you have heavy equipment and rocky or
hard ground or you have to wear heavy boots all
day long - we suggest using Mavericks without
the groundsheet. It is attached to the tent body
on the inside at ten points to offer a winkle-free
fit and is easily attached and detached.
For an increased water resistance we added a ring of ground fabric to the tent body as well. The
overlapping area ensures a good protection from the elements and is made of the same heavy duty
fabric as the groundsheet.

ADJUSTABLE VENTILATION
Mavericks offers three identical entries for
maximum flexibility and to ensure good access
in various scenarios. All openings use #10 YKK
zippers which are partly covered to provide an
enhanced weather protection. All three windows
are made from transparent TPU and ensure a
good overview of the surrounding even with all
openings and doors closed.

To guarantee a good air flow Mavericks has
five closable openings to control the intake of
fresh/cold air. They are placed equally along
the ground (blue). At the top there are two large
zipper openings (red) where the warm air gets
pushed out as soon as colder air gets inside.
This chimney effect is the most effective passive
ventilation and with it’s multiple openings you’ll
always find a downwind facing side to open.

ADVANCED
SETUP
Mavericks is designed to withstand the harshest and
most uncomfortable conditions you can find. The
structure is simulated to stay strong against wind
speeds up to 180km/h. For moderate conditions (<100
km/h) it is not required to add additional guy lines to
support the structure. In case you are expecting higher
wind forces or very strong gusts we suggest the use of
guy lines to strengthen the structure.
The frame features extra strong anchor points (5 in
each direction = total of 25). If you are experiencing a
prevailing wind direction we suggest to start supporting
the frame windwards - depending on the wind force this
could already be sufficient. If you have strong gusts
from changing directions it is suggested to support the
frame in at least three directions to maintain a balanced
structure. To spread the pulling force please always use
multiple anchor points in each direction.
We offer a set of guy lines for a fully supported frame as
an additional item in our web shop or at your retailer. We
do not provide any kind of peg or other ground fixation
since every ground requires different equipment. Feel
free to contact us for more detailed instructions.

01 LOCATE THE REPAIR OPENING
You can find the repair opening (zipper) at the end of
each strut.
02 OPEN ZIPPER ACCESS AT THE END OF THE STRUT
Open the zipper to access to the inner TPU bladder. To
prevent damage please only open the zipper when the
structure is not inflated.
03 REMOVE ONEPUMP CONNECTORS AND VALVES
Remove the rubber tubes and plastic rings from the
One-Pump Connectors, unscrew the valve and press
them out.
04 ATTACH A STRING TO THE ONE PUMP CONNECTOR
Then attach a string to the One-Pump Connector
farthest from the repair opening.
05 PULL OUT THE BLADDER CAREFULLY
Pull the bladder out of the outer sleeve carefully – the
string will be automatically guided into the outer sleeve.
Use the string to reinsert the bladder after repair.
06 REPAIR/EXCHANGE THE BLADDER
Now you can repair the hole with the self-adhesive
patches provided in the repair kit. Cut a patch with
rounded corners out of the repair material that is
approximately 2 cm larger on all sides than the
damaged area. If necessary, replace the damaged
bladder with a new one.
07 INSERT THE BLADDER CAREFULLY
Take great care not to twist the bladder when
reinserting. Twisting the bladder can lead to damage
when pumping it up. After the bladder has been
reinserted, guide the bladder ends to the strut ends and
make sure the bladder fills out the entire space inside
the strut cover.
08 CLOSE THE ZIPPER
Be sure to securely close the zipper completely.
09 INFLATE THE BLADDER SLOWLY
After the bladder has been inserted, make sure it fills
out the space inside the strut completely. Then slowly
fill the bladder with air, taking care that it is positioned
correctly. If the bladder is not positioned correctly (e.g.
bladder is twisted or bladder does not fill out the space
inside the strut completely), correct its position or
remove it and reinsert it correctly.
The IDG is made of especially robust materials.
However if the outer sleeve or inner bladder is
damaged you can replace or patch it just as
you would a flat tire on a bike. If the bladder is
punctured it can easily be removed through the
repair opening at the end of each strut.
REPAIR
IF THE OUTER SLEEVE IS DAMAGED
If the outer sleeve of a strut is damaged, it should be replaced immediately.
Otherwise, you might damage the inner bladder. In this case, unfasten the
Velcro closure on the corners and at the bottom so you can remove and
replace the entire strut.
PLEASE
NOTE
MAVERICKS DESCRIPTION P.NR. 

Give your tent a quick wipe down after each use to
prevent from mold and mildew stains.
Stains and grime are best removed with a soft cloth
and lukewarm, soapy water. Do not clean the tent in
a washing machine. Do not have it professionally dry-
cleaned.
If a zipper is difficult to open and close simply treat it
with a bit of wax.
