Congratulations to Haven Tents (headquartered at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains in Sandy, Utah) who just raised a $250,000 in a matter of days to fund production of their newest product, The Haven Spectre lay-flat hammock camping tent.
Haven Tents has been in business since 2019 designing lay-flat hammock tents. Founder Derek Tillotson got the idea for their product line after envisioning a better hammock camping sleep experience where his head and feet would lower to a single plane, just like laying on a mattress at home.
They have had several successful projects to date and their latest offering has a been a smash hit on Kickstarter with 581 pre-orders placed with 23 days left to go on the campaign.
“If you like to travel light—but aren’t willing to sacrifice comfort—Haven Spectre is your dream setup. We’ve reimagined our patented lay-flat hammock system for the ultralight world. The result? An insanely comfortable, feature-packed tent system weighing in at just 4.3 lbs. Whether you’re backpacking, thru-hiking, or just tired of waking up sore in the woods—Haven Spectre delivers the best sleep you’ll ever have outdoors.”
