The Elements series was specially developed for leisure activities such as nature photography and bushcraft. The camouflage look ensures discreet overnight stays in the forest or wilderness.
We celebrate our anniversary
Tentastic Anniversary
Wechsel – for more than 30 years, this name has stood for tents of the highest quality. Our aim is to develop excellently crafted and tailored tents that impress not only with their low weight, but above all with their stability and well-thought-out details.
“Our family had a great hiking trip on the Kungsleden trail in Sweden this summer. Three people in a tent and very little weight? We chose the Tempest 3. We had hoped for nice weather, but we actually had very strong winds and a lot of rain at night. After a week of hiking, I can congratulate you on a great product. One night with extreme crosswinds and rain, the outer wall pressed against my sleeping bag, but my sleeping bag stayed dry. One night in the high valley with extreme wind, we were lucky to have pitched the tent in the direction of the wind. Everything held up great. We heard of three tents that were damaged during the night. The tent is really well designed and I liked how easy it was to use."

About our Tempest 3
“I took the Wechsel Pathfinder with me on a 6-month cycling trip through Europe. I am so grateful that it lasted the entire tour and I never had any problems. Thank you very much for the reliable tent.”

About our Pathfinder
“I have camped a lot in my life and pitched and taken down many tents, but what you have created here is unique. It's so easy and quick to set up and take down, the tent is spacious, and it's waterproof too. After waking up in the morning to find the tent standing in a huge 5 cm deep puddle (better check the weather forecast...), I was blown away. The outside was almost flooded, but everything inside was dry! Amazing!"
Lara Söldner
About our Exogen 2
“We are still totally thrilled with our small, lightweight tent! It is very well designed, has given us a lot of pleasure with its many clever details, and has kept us dry through the odd storm or two. When, after many vacations, it finally developed a small tear in the frame after 5 years, we received expert advice, and the replacement was super easy and at very fair conditions. Many thanks to the team!!!”

From our travelogue
This autumn, experienced long-distance traveller Nathalie Courtet hiked through Scotland for seven weeks with a backpack and the Wechsel Bella tent. Her conclusion: "I've had many different tents, but I have to be honest, none of them would have been as efficient as the Bella in these bad weather conditions."

Ob wir so paddeln können, mit voll bepackten Kajaks und Windstärke 6 auf dem offenen Meer? Das übersteigt unsere Fähigkeiten bei Weitem und so warten wir ein paar Tage, und ändern unseren Plan.
