THE BEST SHELTERS ON THIS PLANET
Our architectural design was in part
inspired by buckminster fuller’s concept of the geodesic dome.

The other inspiration was the Hexayurt design by Vinay Gupta, a student of Bucky Fuller. Following the smart geometry of the hexagon, we naturally fortify our pods with nature’s strongest design. This is called biomimicry. With the structure set, we then integrate our fabric, poles and parts, into the design. Like a kid’s geodesic ball, our pods open with simplicity and ease. Setup takes a mere 22 seconds. And yes, they’re just as easy to strike.

SHIFTPOD
INSPIRATION
Research in the field led to our newest innovation; a stealth fabric that uses a 12-layer DARK-OUT material. Made of a super-composite with synthetic down thermal insulation and a highly reflective UV protective layer, it reflects and blocks more light so you sleep better even in the bright sun. When it comes to weather, these shelters stand up to the harshest environments around the world. From frigid snow to the blazing desert, they even withstand winds up to 100MPH. Beyond being sought after for large festival venues and special corporate events, Advanced Shelter Systems are used globally for fast deployment in extreme conditions. From a single pod to prepacked containers holding command and control centers, they’re at the ready when disaster strikes. So what does all this mean? If you’re a weekend warrior, festival goer, over-lander or survivor in need of the best shelter, you can trust we’ve got you covered.
OUR ROOTS
SHIFTPOD
If you are a burner, chances are you've seen these metallic structures all over the playa the last couple years — they’re called SHIFTPOD, and they’re making festival camping a whole lot easier and a lot more luxe. Born out of necessity to stave off dust storms and high desert temps, veteran burner Christian Weber designed the first SHIFTPOD for himself and a few
of
his
playa
compatriots to make life better at Burning Man. Word of his prototype spread quickly, and before you could say “art bike”, his business was booming.

SHIFTPOD features REFLECTIVE
MINIPODmini
With a new synthetic down micro-fiber insulation our composite super-fabrics reflect and retain heat better than ever, and even dampen outside noise.

RECORD SETUP OF 22 SECONDS With practice, one person can quickly and easily set up our shelters. Setting the stakes and lines, and zipping in the floor takes an additional couple of minutes.
INSULATED
SHIFTPODXL
Our products use the most advanced NASA-inspired technologies and patented composite fabric coatings to reflect the heat of the sun and retain warmth in the cold.
WIND-RESISTANT

In a recent demonstration, our shelters survived sustained winds of over 100 MPH. Our team’s personal experience ranges from no wind to sustained winds of more than 50 MPH.

PRODUCERS MAKE THE….

it is the ultimate all-season quick-setup/quick-strike camp Setup a camp for thousands in hours not days.
SETUP TIME 22 second POD vs. 1 hour Tent
The old tents can take a long time to set up. Ours can be stood up in about 22 seconds by only one person; complete setup time with stakes is about 2 minutes. An entire camp of 1500 to 2000 can be set up in one day. Our innovative design is based on Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic dome concept. This hexagonal design is nature’s strongest and most efficient.
INSULATION
Patented insulation, for hot or cold. Old tents provide waterproofing but little warmth or cooling. Our solution is a patented insulated composite fabric which keeps your SHIFTPOD between 5—20 degrees cooler on a normal day. Our advance is in our 6-layer super-composite reflective fabric, with a fiberglass frame, and metal hubs.
TURNKEY Need a turnkey camp delivered complete with camp management office space? We have you covered! The CAMP-IN-A-CONTAINER can be delivered directly to your site and ready for deployment.

IMMERSIVE GUEST EXPERIENCE Guests love to get the most out of multi-day events. No one wants to commute, fight traffic, and deal with security lines everyday. Hosting guests on site can also drive more revenue to vendors and create other revenue streams.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
Reduces traffic around the event site. Happy neighbors make better festivals.
