Features
Greater sense of space
The use of auxiliary tent poles on both sides significantly overcomes the shortcoming of the single-pole tent, creating a spacious living space where two people can sit face to face and comfortably live.
Easy-to-set-up design
The tent stands on its own by driving the four corners, which are equipped with positioning webbing, into the pegs and then inserting the central pole. It is designed for easy camping. Although the base is octagonal, it is easy for anyone to set up.
TC fabrics suitable for autumn and winter
TC is a blend of 35% cotton and 65% polyester. Compared to chemical fibers, cotton has a higher moisture content at room temperature and is less likely to tear even when it is touched by sparks.
Suitable for 2 people
The tent can comfortably accommodate two adults using the table, chairs, and other necessary equipment. Depending on the size of your gear and the configuration of your tent, it can accommodate up to four people.
Snow skirt available
The snow skirt around the bottom blocks cold air from entering from below. To reduce dirt, the snow skirt that comes into contact with the ground is made of 100% polyester.
Improved pillar strength
The TC model is heavier, placing a greater strain on the tent poles. The center pole diameter of the chemical fiber model is φ30mm, while the TC model has been increased to φ32mm to provide firm support for the tent body.
Three-way zipper
The zipper at the main entrance is equipped with three zipper pulls. By adjusting the position of the three zipper pulls, the opening can be opened at any position, which is flexible and convenient to adjust.
Diverse installation methods
By extending the cloth at the entrance and exit outward, a sense of openness like a canopy can be achieved. Since it is fixed upward from the edge of the snow skirt, the vestibule can be neatly and beautifully opened.
Storage status
The tent body and poles can be stored completely in the carrying bag. For easy identification, the carrying bag of the chemical fiber model is gray, while the TC model is black.

TC Product Features
-
This product is not waterproof
The TC material used in this product is a blend of natural and chemical fibers. When wet, the natural fibers expand, filling the gaps between them. While this can temporarily reduce water penetration, it's not completely waterproof. Please be aware that water can penetrate through the seams.
-
The tent's waterproof effect cannot be maintained for a long time
The fabric's surface water repellency is not permanently maintained. With increased use, the repellency may decrease or rain spots may appear. We apologize for this. Any issues related to the water repellency are not covered by the product warranty.
-
Regarding color spots and minor damages on TC materials
During the production process of TC materials, there may be some problems such as textile spots, minor textile damage, and uneven dyeing. Please note that these are not covered by the warranty.
-
Fabric easily changes color
This fabric is susceptible to discoloration under ultraviolet light. Avoid long-term, continuous use or use in environments with strong ultraviolet rays, such as at the seaside.
-
Please store it after it is fully dried after use
TC material easily absorbs moisture, so please make sure to dry it thoroughly after use. If stored in a damp state, it is easy to cause mold, odor, staining, deterioration, etc.
Fabric Introduction
- ZANE ARTS GIGI-1 TC As usual, TC material fabric is used.
- TC material is a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton.
- The "T" in TC stands for Tetron and the "C" stands for Cotton. Tetron is the trade name of a polyester fiber.
- Compared with chemical fibers, cotton has a higher moisture content at room temperature. Even if it is attached to sparks, the moisture contained in it can protect the fabric and is not easily burned or torn. This characteristic is also the reason why TC material is considered relatively fire-resistant.
- In addition, cotton has the property of absorbing moisture and expanding. When the tent is wet by rain, the cotton fibers will expand and fill the gaps in the fabric structure (the gaps between the warp and weft yarns), reducing the chance of rainwater entering the interior.
- Due to the water-absorbing property of the fabric, it can absorb condensation, reduce moisture absorption, and make the indoor environment more comfortable.
