The HI-NEW-TEX airframe uses multiple inflatable beams connected through an integrated air-distribution network. The system is designed to make inflation simple without sacrificing chamber independence after setup.
Step 1: Connect and Inflate
Attach a supported pump to the primary inflation point. Air then moves through the connected tubing system to fill the structural beams, eliminating the need to inflate each beam separately.
Step 2: Isolate the Chambers
Once the required pressure is reached, close the chamber control valves. The individual air chambers can then retain pressure independently.
Step 3: Secure the Shelter
Stake the tent and tension the guylines according to the terrain and weather conditions.
For deflation, reopen the chamber system so air can move through the connected network and exit efficiently through the large release valve.
Two-Function Valve Design
The airframe system uses valves designed to support both inflation and pack-down.
One-Way Inflation Function
The one-way mechanism allows air to enter while helping prevent immediate pressure loss when the pump is disconnected.
Large-Opening Deflation Function
The wider release opening allows a larger volume of air to escape, reducing the time required to deflate, fold, and store the shelter.
This dual-function design keeps the inflation process controlled while making pack-down faster and less cumbersome.
Factory Pre-Assembled for Simpler Setup
HI-NEW-TEX air tents are designed to minimize the amount of assembly required at the campsite.
During factory preparation, the major structural and textile components are connected according to the requirements of each model. These may include:
- Inflatable airframe
- Outer tent shell
- Inflation tubes and valves
- Integrated or model-specific interior components
This factory pre-assembly reduces the number of components users need to connect during every trip.
The basic setup process remains straightforward:
1. Unfold
Lay the shelter on a clear, level surface.
2. Inflate
Connect the pump and inflate the integrated airframe.
3. Stake and Secure
Install the stakes and tension the guylines to complete the setup.
No complicated pole sorting. No repeated reconstruction of the primary frame. The tent arrives as an integrated shelter system rather than a collection of unrelated parts sharing a storage bag.
One Technology Platform, Multiple Applications
The HI-NEW-TEX technology platform is designed to support more than one tent category.
By combining functional textiles, inflatable structural engineering, chamber control, and simplified setup, the same core technology can be adapted for different environments and applications.
Potential applications include:
- Recreational camping shelters
- Family and group tents
- Human-and-pet shared shelters
- Event and temporary spaces
- Emergency response shelters
- Professional and tactical field shelters
The size, materials, internal layout, and technical specifications may change according to the application, but the underlying system remains consistent:
- Simplified deployment
- Flexible structural support
- Multi-chamber pressure management
- Durable functional textiles
- Adaptable shelter engineering
More Than an Inflatable Tent
The value of an HI-NEW-TEX air tent does not come from inflation alone.
It comes from the integration of six systems:
- AIRFRAME™ creates the structure.
- ONE-INFLATE™ simplifies inflation.
- MULTI-AIR™ manages pressure and redundancy.
- FLEXFRAME™ responds flexibly to changing loads.
- DURASHIELD™ protects the structural chamber.
- HNT FABRIC TECH™ provides the functional exterior barrier.
Together, these technologies form a complete air tent platform designed for easier setup, durable outdoor use, and future shelter applications.
