Arai Tent
JP · 1965 · Mountaineering
Light mountain tents and shelters, sewn by hand in Saitama
A Tokorozawa workshop that spent decades sewing OEM tents for Ishii Sports before its own RIPEN label took over in 1982. The Air Raiz has barely changed shape since 1987, and the company still sells frame sections by the piece and repairs the ones it no longer stocks.
