ForeBow™ asymmetric front pole raises entry height and extends vestibule volume on the single-door side — built for long traverses where pack-on entry and covered cook space matter more than symmetric geometry. ExoSpeedFlex deploys the outer shell first; inner tent stays shielded throughout the 60-second pitch. 20D Ripstop Nylon throughout, FFP™ FeatherFlex Poles, Force 8 validated. 3 lb 3 oz (1.45 kg) minimum weight.

In Tibetan practice, the Kora is the sacred circuit around a mountain — not the ascent, but the circumambulation. Pilgrims walk it for days. The mountain stays the same; the walker changes.

The KORA EXO-FLEX™ takes its name from that route logic. Where the KONGAR was engineered for high-exposure ridgeline camps, the KORA is built for the long traverse — multi-day approaches where you pitch in different terrain every night, where the vestibule is a kitchen as much as a mudroom, and where a wider entry at the end of a 30km day matters more than symmetry.

The exoskeleton still deploys first. Sixty seconds. Inner tent shielded throughout. But the geometry that emerges is different: ForeBow™ pre-bent front pole raises the entry side, extends the vestibule, and opens the door wide enough to enter without negotiating with your pack.

The first KORA production tents were field-tested on a Taklamakan Desert crossing — a different load case than the Hengduan, same structural demands.

Features

ExoSpeedFlex pitch system

Outer shell erects and stands independently first; inner tent deploys inside a standing structure, zero rain contact throughout the 60-second sequence.

ForeBow™ pre-bent front pole

Raises entry height and widens the door arc on the single-door side; Kora color-coded pole straps eliminate orientation errors on the asymmetric frame.

Force 8 wind resistance

40 mph (18 m/s) validated across four continuous hours from frontal, lateral, and oblique load directions.

FFP™ FeatherFlex Poles

Mobi Garden's proprietary aluminum specification, ~15% lighter than standard 7-series alloys; maximum load tolerance 466N.

20D Ripstop Nylon fly, 3,000mm HH

Full-coverage waterproofness for sustained precipitation across multi-night use.

20D Ripstop Nylon floor, 4,000mm HH

Rated 1,000mm above the fly; ground moisture is the more persistent threat on extended approaches.

Nanomesh upper canopy, solid high-wall perimeter

Mesh overhead for ventilation; solid fabric at the base closes cold-air infiltration at ground level.

Snow-load supported roof vents

Dual apex vents with structural support frames maintain airflow aperture under accumulation without collapsing.

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 the ForeBow™ pole change about daily use?

ForeBow™ is a pre-bent asymmetric front pole on the single-door side. It raises the entry arc — a loaded pack moves in and out without as much crouching — and extends vestibule volume for cooking and gear storage in poor weather. The bend is fixed into the pole at manufacture; no adjustment is needed in the field.

Why does the KORA have only one door when the KONGAR has two?

The KORA is designed for traverses where a single large vestibule with covered cook space is more useful than symmetric access. Two-person teams managing a shared cook station in bad weather typically prioritize vestibule volume over two-sided entry. If dual-door access is a requirement, the KONGAR uses the same ExoSpeedFlex pitch and pole spec.

The frame is asymmetric — is it harder to pitch than the KONGAR?

The ExoSpeedFlex sequence is identical to the KONGAR. KORA uses color-coded pole straps to prevent orientation errors on the asymmetric frame — a common failure point with non-standard pole geometries in low-light or deteriorating conditions.

Are PFAS or flame retardants used in KORA materials?

No. All KORA EXO-FLEX™ materials are non-PFAS and flame-retardant free.
