A six-month project aimed to develop a new range of mountaineering and Arctic tents is now over. The flagship mountaineering model has a basic configuration with a High Peak Hub connector. The hub could be used separately or combined with another tent or two into living quarters. The innovative solution opens new horizons to climbers. The connector could stay in the base camp for comfortable living, while Bask High Peak V2 could be rapidly detached for brief overnight expeditions. The tent does not require much space, which makes it ideal for the tiniest ledges.
The design has a uniquely high wind resistance and snow protection: even completely covered, it will not collapse.
A unique approach to the manufacturing process allows the Bask digital factory to be sure of the quality and safety of its products. Firstly, the company operates cutting-edge equipment. Secondly, it relies on the Industry 4.0 protocol, which means that every manufacturing process is either computerized or digitalized.
For instance, production at the Bask Moscow factory begins with cutting by the IMA digital system. The system lays the fabric, marks and cuts 100 or more parts at a time with 100% accuracy. The “digital brain” of the equipment stores the code of all operations, so the system does not need a reset every time it is used. An engineer operates the system via the Internet, so problems can be fixed remotely!
Tailoring of products is no less innovative. Modern Juki sewing machines are more like computers. You can set a production program from your smartphone!
Bask runs its own lab, where specialists check the quality of all component parts, study down characteristics and create new down-based insulators, such as Dry Siberian Down® (DSD®) or patented composite insulators based on top-quality Russian goose down. The company produces the composites itself, and the research center and the laboratory set the exact range of temperatures for using the product.
Many products are tested by digital simulators. For instance, the reliability of Bask High Peak V2 was estimated by means of the APM Civil Engineering 17 software.
The digital testing does not substitute field trials conducted by athletes and travelers in severe conditions.
Bask is very proud of its team. Brand ambassadors share its values and test the products themselves. Experienced extreme travelers climbed 8,000 meters, visited both Earth poles and survived in places with the most adverse weather conditions, using brand equipment.
All of that ensures high quality of products, swift manufacturing and, of course, appreciation and trust of customers.
