Questions and Answers about Tatonka

What does the volume specification for the products say?

What's on it also fits in. Because we measure our backpacks, bags, etc. practically. With loosely filled granulate bags of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 liters, which are also distributed in corners and niches. This gives us very precise information about the actual packing volume, including outer pockets and lid compartments.

Can you wash a tent or backpack in the washing machine?

Please do not. They don't necessarily break in the process, but the guarantee will expire in any case. Clean backpacks or bags with lukewarm water and washing liquid – preferably in the bathtub. Subsequent impregnation is also not necessary because the materials are coated. Your tent will also get really clean by hand washing with water and a sponge. After cleaning, allow to dry well and store in a clean, dark place to prevent mildew and odor.

The name

The name Tatonka comes from the language of the Sioux Indians and means Bison
