Most campers feel that, at the end of the day, their tents are their refuge—the birds, bears, and bugs can wait until they’ve had some private time and rest. The ‘Outlife’ shelter by Chilean designer Alvaro Poblete, however, makes you one with nature. It is a portable tent that is also, for the most part, see-through.
The Outlife shelter is crafted with breathable, tear-resistant material, and is designed to be able to adapt to different locations. Withstanding temperatures from -20° C to 60°C, the Outlife shelter also has a collapsible dual layer that controls opacity so condensation won’t compromise your front-row view of nature.
