Freedom camping laws mean Kiwis camp everywhere — year-round demand

3

Small market but extremely high per-capita outdoor spending

4

Similar to Australia but even more outdoor-obsessed per capita

Outdoor Culture

Outdoor Culture in New Zealand

Market Gap

No TPU Competitor Exists

Kathmandu is the local outdoor brand but focuses on clothing/bags. No TPU inflatable competitor. Market uses generic PVC imports.

Ideal Partner Profile

Outdoor retailer with connections to Kathmandu, Torpedo7, or Macpac. Can bundle with Australian distribution.

Material Technology

8 Reasons TPU Beats PVC

Self-developed material + self-developed pump — a vertically integrated advantage no competitor can replicate

100% Eco-Friendly

TPU is fully recyclable with zero plasticizers, no phthalates, and no chemical smell. Meets REACH, RoHS, and California Prop 65 standards.

Extreme Durability

80 N/mm tear strength — 3x stronger than PVC. Resistant to abrasion, puncture, and UV degradation. 8-12 year lifespan.

30% Lighter

Same strength at 30% less weight than PVC. A king-size mattress weighs just 8 kg — easy to carry, pack, and ship.

Pet-Proof

Dogs and cats can scratch, claw, and jump on it — the TPU surface resists puncture. Perfect for pet-owning campers and households.

Zero Air Leakage

Superior TPU air retention means one inflation lasts all night — no need to top up. Every unit passes a 24-hour 10 PSI air-tightness test.

Self-Developed 2-in-1 Pump

Our proprietary electric pump inflates AND vacuum-extracts air. Core components are self-developed — not off-the-shelf parts. 60-second full inflation.

-30°C Cold Rated

TPU maintains flexibility and air seal down to -30°C where PVC cracks and fails. Proven in extreme winter camping conditions.

Ultra-Firm Support

7 PSI Drop-Stitch construction creates a rigid, flat surface that supports 500 kg. Kids can jump on it like a trampoline — firm enough for guest beds at home.
