    This light and flexible leisure and hiking sole was specially designed for children’s footwear. It is lighter and less bulky than our conventional hiking soles.

    This makes it highly suitable for normal, daily use, whilst retaining the typical characteristics of a hiking sole: good grip, durability and stability.

    It is made of three components:

    - a rubber outsole,
    - extra shock absorbers in the front
    - and heal sections and a removable EVA inlay sole.

    REAL DOME technology applies the breakthroughs we made with our REAL TUNNEL designs to redefine the self-supporting dome tent.
    The result:
    enhanced stability and better use of the available space. With REAL DOME Technology, the variable diameter poles have a more convex form than conventional dome tents and describe a steeper angle to the ground.

    The advantages:
    1. Improved wind stability: variable diameter pole sections ensure that the tent remains flexible even in high winds and provide greater strength in the roof area. The tent also retains it shape better.

    2. Optimum use of available space: Acute angle pole configuration for optimal use of available space and a smaller footprint.

    3. Easy pitching: the self-supporting, free-standing dome design makes the tent quick and easy to pitch.

    Our patented and multi-award winning REAL TUNNEL (RT) technology
    has redefined the art of tunnel tent design. The exaggerated convex
    shape of the pole sections describes a more acute angle than in conventional
    tunnel constructions, creating more space inside the tent.
    The poles have two different diameters to deliver greater strength at the
    sides of the tent and more flexibility at the apex. The triangular guying
    system at the base of the poles provides greater basic stability. CORNER
    EDGES (short, vertical pole sections) in the vestibules also allow full use
    of space in this part of the tent.

    The advantages:
    1. Improved wind stability: Wind tunnel tests have demonstrated that
    REAL TUNNEL tents have better stability in side winds. Even at wind
    speeds of 80 km/h there is very little movement.

    2. Optimum use of available space: The exaggerated convex pole design
    and CORNER EDGES allow the entire floor area of the tent to be used.

    3. Guylines not required: The superior ground stability of the REAL TUNNEL
    design means that guylines are not necessary. This also significantly reduces
    the pitching area require
