Tatonka

TATONKA – The Bavarian Bison

Functional outdoor equipment from Germany: The TATONKA brand was founded in 1993. As one of very few companies in the outdoor industry, the German family business has maintained and operated its own production facility for over 20 years.

From Dasing to all over the world

TATONKA's portfolio includes backpacks, clothing, tents, bags, daypacks and other accessories. As an outfitter for athletes and outdoor adventurers, the focus is on practical aspects. The manufacturer has various areas in mind when designing and manufacturing. This should also be considered when purchasing: the selected item should not only be visually appealing, but also match the range of applications.

Questions and answers about Tatonka

What does the volume information on the products mean?

Whatever it says on the label will fit in. We fill our backpacks, bags, etc. with litres of material that is practically practical. With loosely filled granulate bags of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 litres, which can also be distributed in corners and niches. This gives us very precise information about the actual packing volume, including outside pockets and lid compartments.

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

Please don't. They won't necessarily break, but the guarantee will be voided in any case. Clean backpacks or bags with lukewarm water and washing-up liquid - ideally in the bathtub. Subsequent waterproofing is also not necessary because the materials are coated. Your tent will also be really clean by hand washing with water and a sponge. After cleaning, let it dry well and store it in a clean, dark place to prevent mildew and odors.

The name

The name Tatonka comes from the language of the Sioux Indians. Translated into German it means bison. The bison is also the brand's leading animal and part of the logo.

Why a bison?

The powerful appearance of a bison embodies strength, but at the same time it is also a symbol of responsible treatment of nature and what nature gives us.
