Meet Zempire and their new Evo tent for 2021

If you consider buying a new house off-plan the first thing you do, or should do, is research the house builder who is going to make your new home. You need to be convinced that, amongst other things, the construction will be sound and that you will be protected in all weathers.
Buying a new family tent should be no different. It’s an investment that you quite rightly expect to enjoy for many years so you need to be sure that the construction is sound, you won’t be spending valuable leisure time fixing leaks and there’s no chance of you outgrowing it for at least the next few years.
At BCH Camping, we have the pleasure of selling top class products from a wide range of reputable manufacturers. When it comes to tents, New Zealand owned Zempire certainly know how to develop and create the forever home from home. We decided, for this blog, to share some background on this dependable manufacturer. Then, should you be in the market for a new family tent, you will know more about the company behind your investment.

Who are Zempire?

Zempire is the creation of husband and wife team, Richard and Sophie Knauf. The rugged mountains, forests, beaches and rivers of New Zealand offer the perfect arena for developing and testing their designs. Assessing the strength and durability of any outdoors product is essential. The sea breezes, strong UV light and wild weather conditions of New Zealand test their products to their limits.
The Zempire focus is not only on robust construction. The design features that make campers’ lives easier are also a major consideration. This could be the way and speed at which the product packs down, an easy-pump airframe or glow in the dark zip pullers. Innovation is very much at the heart of the Zempire brand.
Zempire is still very much a family business. Richard and Sophie still sign off every design decision and the Zempire team work closely with manufacturing partners, quality checking every production run.

The Zempire Evo 2021 tent

For 2021, Zempire have redesigned the mid-range Evo family tent series with improved ventilation and comfort. The open-plan design with multiple ventilation points makes this ideal for family camping during the summer months.
The use of space has been carefully considered. Zempire’s custom-designed Awning Wall Set enclose the front of the tent while extending the living space. The door can be poled out to create extra protection from the sun (or rain!).
The Zempire Evo 2021 is available in three sizes: Weight: 21.6kg
Internal floor area: 11.5m Weight: 28.5kg
Internal floor area: 18.5m² Weight: 32.9kg

Main features of the Zempire EVO 2021 tent

SEROLINK™ beam technology

New for 2021, the SEROLINK™ air beam technology reduces the weight and pack size of the tent without affecting its durability. It is the removal of the outer sleeve material that reduces the bulk and weight.
The air frame system is constructed with multiple angles which provide improved rigidity and ensures the frame holds its shape in windy conditions. The new attachment system toggles the tent fly directly to the beam without compromising flexibility and movement. With this new system, beams are easier to remove and replace.

Spacious Design

The new angled airframe shape provides a spacious feel to all Evo models.

150D fly fabric

The touch 150D fly fabric ensures the Evo series is built to last. The fabric is made of 135T polyester oxford.
