[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Kolon Industries FnC Division (hereinafter Kolon FnC) has launched the camping gear series "Odumak" tents under its outdoor brand Kolon Sports, which captures a sense of sentimentality.
Odumak is the first successor model to the popular 2014 tent model "Super Palace C," made of 100% cotton to fully embody a retro vibe.
It features an A-frame structure that recreates the feel of the 1980s and preserves the natural color of cotton that resembles nature. Although made of cotton, it does not miss any essential tent functions. Using premium cotton material with minimal dye processing, the fabric density is increased and made thicker.
It maintains consistent humidity and facilitates air circulation to keep the inside of the tent comfortable while preventing condensation (the phenomenon where water vapor in the air forms droplets inside the tent due to temperature differences between indoors and outdoors), which is the most important function of a tent. Additionally, it is treated with water-repellent processing, so snow or rain does not leak inside the tent.
The tent poles are made of duralumin 6061. Duralumin 6061 is an aluminum alloy with copper, magnesium, and other elements added, characterized by steel-like strength but weighing only about one-third of steel, making it lightweight and sturdy. The biggest advantage of the Odumak tent is its maximized openness. It is designed to allow users to enjoy nature to the fullest through the lower side panels and the high ceiling of the A-frame structure.
Two types of tarps are also released. The Odumak Octa Tarp M is a 3-4 person tarp that creates a cozy space. The Odumak Octa Tarp L is generously sized for families and friends to enjoy together, allowing for a spacious setup.
Kolon Sports will pre-release the Odumak tent on the crowdfunding platform Wadiz on the 24th. Choosing Wadiz pre-release aims to meet a new customer base by launching a unique product. Customers participating in the funding through Wadiz will also receive a 15-20% discount benefit.
A Kolon Sports representative said, "We are newly introducing sentimental camping gear that adds emotion, from tents that provide the comfort of home to tables and cookware," adding, "Instead of diverse colors, the product features a simple design with beige tones that harmonize with nature and a retro mood."
