We have combined exceptional tent design and fabric knowledge to create the most advanced polar pyramid tents available today. Capable of withstanding the harshest weather on the planet, these tents are at the pinnacle of shelter design.
One Planet Polar gear has been developed as a joint venture between One Planet and the Australian and New Zealand governments' Antarctic organisations to ensure it suits the exact requirements of their scientific research programs.
The Polar Pyramid Vestibule is based on the standard Polar Pyramid but has an extended panel providing a spacious porch and extra storage area. It is ideal for longer stays, and makes an excellent kitchen or workshop.
Key features
Our eight-ounce canvas is incredibly hard-wearing and tough. It is breathable and has high UV resistance, allowing it to withstand repeated extended periods in the Antarctic sun. Colours are chosen for high visibility and to create a harmonious interior environment. Clear windows let in natural light and provide excellent weather observation ports. Each pole sleeve has four external lash points, allowing antennas and solar panels to be hung outside the tent. Multiple air vents ensure that in even the heaviest snow deposition, occupants can breath easy.
Other features include:
hardened aquaphobic floor material, and snow valances;
strong but light 48 millimetre drawn alloy frames;
eight millimetre guy ropes all round;
tunnel door entry with double closure ties;
guy pockets keep the tent tidy in transit and during pitching;
The standard Polar Pyramid provides a traditional 'bomb proof' solution to Antarctic expeditions requiring solid dependability. Everything you expect from a traditional pyramid design has been included, as well as a range of additional features to ensure reliability and comfort.

We have used our exceptional knowledge of tent design and fabrics to create the most advanced polar pyramid tents available. Capable of withstanding the harshest weather on the planet, these tents are at the pinnacle of shelter design. One Planet offer two polar pyramid designs, the Standard Polar Pyramid and the Polar Pyramid Vestibule.

The sleeping bag expansion insert is a handy way of minimising the gear pool. Some polar customers buy only regular sleeping bags and use an expansion insert to give extra space (width) for the larger expeditioners.

The overshell is designed to be used with our down bag, which can be zipped inside. The twin zip enables the two bags to work as one.

Developed as our polar workhorse, the polar pack is designed to be as versatile as possible. The main compartment can be removed from the harness system, enabling multiple different inserts (search and rescue, personal survival, scientific equipment, etc) to be used with the rucksack. Inserts can be pre-packed with the required gear, so packing is so simple: slip in the necessary insert, toss in a few additional things and away you go! The pack can be used with or without the lid.
Standard features include:
adjustable harness (two sizes) with durable, non-absorbent contact fabric and dual-density foams;
non-slip webbing on shoulder straps and hipbelt;
lid, underlid and front pocket;
one water-bottle pouch on either side of hipbelt;
twin ice axe loops, stake holders and ski mounts.
This product can also be made without the use of Velcro (TM).
Pack inserts are made from 1000 denier nylon or 12-ounce canvas and are available in three sizes. Approximate volumes are:

One Planet's down-filled polar bag is tapered rectangular in shape and available in three sizes. Each bag has an average of 1350 grams of 600 loft duck down, creating an economical sleeping solution. Combined with the polar overshell, it creates a cosy haven for the most extreme conditions.
