Ghislain Pipers founded Samaya in 2018 to make innovative outdoor equipment designed for extreme conditions. The French brand won an ISPO award in 2020 for Samaya2.5, a four-season tent that set the tone for the rest of its boundary-pushing designs. Samaya's compact and lightweight tents—constructed from unique technical fibers for breathability and improved resistance to wind and water—are durable enough to withstand year-round weather in the Himalayas. Offering a selection of technically sophisticated outdoor equipment, Samaya gives people the tools they need to venture further into the wild.
