Pioneering Innovation in the Great Outdoors
At RBM Outdoors®, we believe that the wilderness isn’t just a destination—it’s a way of life. Since our inception, we have dedicated ourselves to transforming outdoor experiences through innovative tent solutions that combine cutting-edge technology with practical design. Located at the intersection of adventure and comfort, our mission is to provide outdoor enthusiasts with reliable, high-quality shelters that withstand the elements while creating memorable experiences in nature.
Our Journey
The RBM Outdoors® story began with a simple yet profound realization: traditional camping equipment often falls short when facing nature’s unpredictable challenges. Our founders, passionate adventurers themselves, experienced firsthand the limitations of conventional tents during extended wilderness expeditions. Frustrations with cumbersome setup processes, insufficient weather protection, and limited functionality in varying conditions sparked a vision—to create revolutionary outdoor shelters that would redefine the camping experience.
What started as a modest workshop operation has evolved into a respected name in outdoor equipment, with our specialized focus on inflatable tents, hot tents, and tent stoves setting us apart in the industry. Each product in our catalog represents countless hours of research, testing, and refinement, all driven by authentic outdoor experiences and valuable customer feedback.

Our signature inflatable tent collection stands as a testament to RBM Outdoors®’ commitment to innovation. Unlike traditional pole-based structures, our air-supported technology allows for quick and effortless setup, transforming what was once a tedious task into a matter of minutes. This revolutionary approach to tent design particularly benefits solo travelers, families with young children, and those with mobility limitations.
The RBM Outdoors® inflatable tent lineup includes:

From specialized ground sheets and insulated floor layers to extended vestibules and gear organization systems, our accessories transform good camping experiences into extraordinary ones.
Our Design Philosophy
At RBM Outdoors®, we approach product development through a unique lens that balances four essential elements:
1. Innovative Engineering
Our design team constantly pushes the boundaries of conventional outdoor equipment. By incorporating advanced materials, structural concepts, and manufacturing techniques, we create products that solve real-world challenges faced by outdoor enthusiasts. Our inflatable technology represents a fundamental shift in tent design, offering unprecedented ease of use without compromising durability or performance.
2. Environmental Mindfulness
We recognize our responsibility to the natural environments our customers explore. This commitment manifests in our:
- Selection of materials that minimize environmental impact
- Manufacturing processes designed to reduce waste and energy consumption
- Product longevity that counters the disposable mentality of modern consumption
- Repair programs that extend product lifespan and reduce landfill contribution
- Packaging solutions that minimize plastic use and incorporate recycled materials
3. User-Centered Functionality
Every feature of an RBM Outdoors® product exists to serve a specific purpose. We ruthlessly eliminate unnecessary complexities and focus on elements that genuinely enhance the outdoor experience. This approach results in equipment that performs reliably when needed and doesn’t create frustration during setup, use, or breakdown.
4. Aesthetic Coherence
While function drives our design process, we recognize that beauty enhances experience. Our products reflect a clean, purposeful aesthetic that harmonizes with natural environments while providing distinctive visibility when desired. This balance of subtle integration and practical visibility characterizes the RBM Outdoors® visual identity.
Quality Assurance and Testing
Unlike companies that rely solely on laboratory testing, RBM Outdoors® products undergo rigorous real-world evaluation before reaching our customers. Our multi-phase testing process includes:
Laboratory Assessment
Each material and component faces controlled testing for specific performance metrics, establishing baseline capabilities and identifying potential weaknesses.
Field Testing
Prototypes advance to real-world testing conducted by our team and selected partners in diverse environments ranging from high alpine conditions to coastal settings and desert environments. This phase reveals how designs perform across temperature extremes, precipitation variants, and different usage patterns.
Durability Simulation
Accelerated wear testing simulates years of regular use, identifying potential failure points and informing design refinements that enhance longevity.
Consumer Trials
Select customers participate in pre-release testing, providing valuable feedback from perspectives outside our development team. These insights often lead to final adjustments that significantly improve the user experience.
This comprehensive approach ensures that when an RBM Outdoors® product reaches the market, it has already proven its capability to perform reliably in the conditions for which it was designed.
The RBM Community
Beyond creating exceptional outdoor equipment, we’ve fostered a vibrant community of adventurers who share our passion for wilderness experiences. This growing network of RBM Outdoors® enthusiasts contributes valuable feedback, inspiring stories, and practical insights that continuously inform our product development process.
Our community engagement initiatives include:

Environmental Commitment
While creating exceptional outdoor equipment remains our primary focus, we recognize our responsibility to protect the natural environments that inspire our work. RBM Outdoors® approaches environmental stewardship through multiple avenues:
Sustainable Materials
We continuously evaluate and implement more environmentally conscious materials without compromising product performance. This includes incorporating recycled fabrics, reducing harmful chemical treatments, and selecting components with minimized environmental footprints.
Durability as Sustainability
By creating products designed for years of use, we counter the disposable mentality prevalent in modern consumption. Our repair programs further extend product lifespans, reducing overall resource demand.
Conservation Partnerships
We actively support organizations dedicated to wilderness preservation, sustainable access initiatives, and outdoor education programs. These partnerships extend our impact beyond product development to actively protecting the landscapes our customers explore.
Manufacturing Oversight
Our production processes emphasize waste reduction, energy efficiency, and responsible resource management. We regularly audit our manufacturing partners to ensure alignment with these values throughout our supply chain.
Customer Support Philosophy
At RBM Outdoors®, we view customer support as a natural extension of our product design process. Our approach centers on three core principles:
Knowledge-Based Assistance
Our support team consists of experienced outdoor enthusiasts who understand our products from personal use. This practical knowledge allows them to provide nuanced, helpful guidance rather than scripted responses.
Proactive Problem-Solving
Rather than simply addressing immediate concerns, we identify patterns in customer inquiries to inform product improvements and educational content development. This approach transforms individual support interactions into broader product enhancements.
Lifetime Relationship
We view each purchase as the beginning of an ongoing relationship rather than a completed transaction. Our support extends through the entire product lifecycle, from initial setup guidance to maintenance advice and repair assistance years after purchase.

As we continue our journey, RBM Outdoors® remains committed to pushing the boundaries of what outdoor shelters can achieve. Our research and development initiatives focus on:
Advanced Material Science
We’re exploring next-generation fabrics that offer improved weather resistance, reduced weight, enhanced durability, and minimized environmental impact.
Integrated Technology
While maintaining our commitment to reliability and simplicity, we’re thoughtfully incorporating useful technological elements that enhance safety, comfort, and functionality without creating unnecessary complexity or points of failure.
Expanded Accessibility
We’re developing solutions that make wilderness experiences more accessible to people across physical abilities, age groups, and experience levels. Our innovative designs break down barriers to outdoor enjoyment, opening nature’s benefits to more diverse participants.
Climate Adaptation
As global climate patterns shift, we’re creating equipment specifically engineered to perform in emerging environmental conditions, from increasing storm intensity to shifting seasonal patterns.
