CORK GRIP. WON'T SLIP
Natural cork wicks moisture and firms up in the wet — synthetic grips get slippery at altitude when hands sweat inside gloves. Cork doesn't.
RidgeLock™
External metal clamp — locks lateral force, not just vertical compression. Planted on a 40° scree slope, it holds the angle.
7075-T6. Technical Grade
7075-T6 aluminum — the alloy grade used in technical alpine hardware, not consumer-grade 6000-series. Three-section telescoping, 24.4 in (62 cm) to 53.1 in (135 cm).
Carbide Tip
Carbide and steel composite — holds its point geometry across rock, ice, and scree. Soft tips round off. This one doesn't.
Orange Inside
Polyester dual-reversible strap — black outer for daily use. Flip it: orange inner orients hand position in low light, bad weather, without looking down.
The Tool Is Inside
Hex key stored inside the shaft — field-adjustable on the trail without digging through the pack for tools.
FAQS
What exactly is EXO-FLEX™, and why does it matter in rain?
EXO-FLEX™ designates the ExoSpeedFlex pitch system. The outer fly erects and stands as an independent structure before the inner tent is involved. You clip the inner in from underneath, inside a standing shelter. In rain, the inner sleep surface has zero exposure at any point in the setup sequence — a meaningful difference from sleeve-and-clip systems where the inner contacts rain while the fly is still being tensioned.
What does "Force 8 validated" mean, and how was it tested?
Force 8 on the Beaufort scale is 40 mph (18 m/s) — gale conditions. The KONGAR was tested at that sustained speed across four continuous hours under frontal, lateral, and oblique load directions. Single-direction point-load testing at the same speed does not produce equivalent stress on pole junctions and anchor points.
How does FFP™ differ from standard ultralight aluminum poles?
FeatherFlex Pole (FFP™) is Mobi Garden's proprietary aluminum specification. Compared to conventional 7-series ultralight aluminum poles, FFP™ reduces weight by approximately 15% while increasing maximum load capacity to 466N. The KONGAR uses FFP™ throughout — no segments are standard alloy.
Why is the floor rated 1,000mm higher than the fly?
Rain on the fly is a dynamic load — it runs off. Water pooling beneath the floor, combined with body weight compressing the material against wet ground, creates sustained hydrostatic pressure. The 4,000mm HH floor rating is calibrated to that specific threat; the 3,000mm HH fly rating is calibrated to precipitation.
Are PFAS or flame retardants used in any KONGAR materials?
No. All KONGAR EXO-FLEX™ materials are non-PFAS and flame-retardant free.
Does the KONGAR require two people to pitch?
No. The three-step ExoSpeedFlex sequence was developed for solo setup in deteriorating weather. The outer shell stands independently before the inner attaches, so no second person is needed to hold structure during the pitch.
