The first carbon-neutral tent has finally hit the market! And not a minute too soon. Seriously, it is kind of strange this hasn’t happened earlier, but better late than never.
The Impact backpacking tent was made in a collaboration between a UK brand L.L.Bean and Nemo, a household name in the world of camping gear.

Construction
Rugged and water-repellent, this tent promises to make your time in the great outdoors more comfortable and enjoyable for years to come.
The interior of the tent is rather spacious, thanks to the noticeably steep sidewalls. The fly, floor, and canopy are all made out of durable recycled polyester ripstop. The fly is waterproof and lightweight, and ventilation is provided by two mesh doors and a mesh canopy.
There are two vestibules that provide ample space for all your gear and whatnot. There is also a removable Landing Zone™ gear tub for additional storage space.
The tent comes with a pole bag, pole splint, stakes, guyout cord, and patch kit.
Sustainability
The Impact tent was designed with sustainability in mind. Made from recycled materials and FRC/PFC-free fabrics, it’s durable and water-repellent without harmful chemicals. It also meets CGSB-182.1 requirements for flammability. The materials used are:
- Canopy: 68D Recycled Polyester Ripstop/ No-See-Um Mesh
- Fly: Recycled Polyester
- Floor: 68D PU Recycled Polyester Ripstop (1200 mm)
If you need a spacious shelter for the elements, this might just be the best guilt-free purchase option on the market.
