TarpTent recently launched a new website. It’s really nice.
It’s got some nice videos in the “culture” section on how the tents are made, designed etc. Worth checking out.
Jun 7, 2018 at 6:50 am #3540649There are still some small problems with it, so if someone spots something that does not make sense it is probably because it doesn’t.
When Henry first told me that he was working on it I thought that the previous one was already pretty good and did not need to be changed.
However in the meantime with the introduction of the DCF line the need to create 3 different sub brands became more obvious and the new site is ready for that.
Jun 7, 2018 at 12:25 pm #3540664“3 different sub brands”?
I’ve noticed Lithium. What are the others?
Jun 8, 2018 at 12:20 am #3540854I noticed it last night. Very nice and informative.
Jun 8, 2018 at 12:49 am #3540863@ Matthew,
better described as a brand : Tarptent , with all the double wall shelters under that standard label, then Tarptent Lithium for the DCF models and Tarptent Icon for the classic tarp tents, like the ProTrail and MoTrail .
Jun 12, 2018 at 12:46 am #3541565Great improvement. This site now gives one an insight into the background <b>behind the history, design and people in the Tarptent family.</b>
Jun 12, 2018 at 9:48 pm #3541728Very nice
Jun 16, 2018 at 11:09 pm #3542422Franco, It would be nice if PayPal was available as an option right at check out like a credit card.
I’m going to use PayPal for a Notch LI purchase but have to wait for an invoice to get sent to me so that I can then send payment. It would be nice if I could just seamlessly check out with PayPal right at the check out screen.
Not a big deal, but if you’re looking for ways to improve the website, that would be one thing I’d like. New website does look great though. I like it a lot.
Jun 16, 2018 at 11:43 pm #3542428I guess that Pay Pal is not encouraged because the fees are much higher than CR cards fees.
Jun 17, 2018 at 5:19 pm #3542477Ah ok that makes sense.
Jun 18, 2018 at 5:12 am #3542668I don’t know if it’s due to a setting on my computer, but I got a message that I couldn’t watch the “Designed at 3.334 ft” video. It says “Sorry. Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here.”
And a similar message for “Sewn in Seattle” with a link to Vimeo that did work.
The other two I could watch on the TT site just fine.

Jun 18, 2018 at 5:28 am #3542669Thank you for that Doug.
I passed your comment on ( I don’t have a clue about this stuff…)Jun 18, 2018 at 3:26 pm #3542704Hi Doug, Â thanks for letting us know. Â I changed a couple of Vimeo settings and It’s working on my end in FireFox. Â Can you please try again and let us know if that fixed it.
Henry
Jun 18, 2018 at 3:54 pm #3542709Hi Henry, Yup, that fixed them. I can watch all four videos directly on your site now.
Btw, it’s a great looking site, and it adds credibility and interest to have the Culture and Process sections.
