In 1974 Ian Maley couldn't afford to buy the Fjallraven 'Original' model so decided to sew his own tent. The tent performed superbly and a few years later Wilderness Equipment was born. This original tent became know as the TR Tent, their very first product. Wilderness Equipment's products are renowned for their durability. They don't compromise on quality to make the marketing numbers look better. If one of their tents is slightly heavier than a similar option, it's likely because it has a floor that will last and it is rock solid.
