The natural need-to-have add on for your tent

Kari is an easy-to-handle tarp that suits the legacy look and feel and which can be used either in combination with a tent or separately. A tarp provides extra space and shelter and can be used in a variety of ways like the A-pitch, the diamond pitch or as a shelter with or without groundsheet and wind breaker. It protects against unfavourable weather conditions like rain or strong sunlight, but it also demands a tight fit or it might be carried away in strong winds.

The story behind the name:

God of the Wind

Kari (Kári) is a term for wind and was in ancient Norse mythology personified by Kári, who was the heir to his father Fornjót’s kingdoms, making him the ruler of Finland and Kvenland. Kári is the father of Frosti (‘frost’), or elsewhere named Jökul, which means ‘icicle, ice, glacier’ – and the grandfather of Snær the Old (Snærr inn gamli’), meaning ‘Snow the Old’.
