Designer's notes
"Khort creates a practical and spacious tent. It's the tent we'd take to Europe for big adventures or when we want to camp in comfort with space to stretch out. It's lightweight for a tent that sleeps up to four. It weighs 3.4kg and packs down small with its compact pole design. It's got a semi-geodesic profile that's low enough to not take the full force of the weather but gives enough height to sit up.
Naturally PFC-Free, the flysheet and groundsheet both have a ripstop construction to make them more durable and keep your tent going trip after trip. Khort has two porches to give better access and create more space for storing kit. It pitches inner-first for ultralight flysheet-free camping in the height of summer."

Sustainability
Gear you'll love for longer
Khort is built to last with Ripstop nylon and polyester used throughout and alloy poles. It'll keep going trip after trip.
Naturally PFC-free
Khort is made from silicone coated polyester that's naturally PFC-free. PFCs are potentially harmful and have been found to build up in the environment. We don't like the sound of that and are one of the first outdoor brands in the world to eliminate them from our range.
Where it's made
Our products are made in the best factories in the world. We know the factories personally and they have all signed up to our Code of Ethics in our supply chain. This includes the Ethical Trading Initiative base code, fair pay, safe working environments, no child labour, no modern slavery, no bribery or corruption, no materials from conflict zones and humane farming methods.
All our factories sign up to our Code of Conduct. Find out where we make our product by visiting our Factories of Alpkit factory zone.
Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intensity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
End of life
When your partnership with this product is over send it back to us and we will pass it on to someone that needs it through our Continuum Project.
