Ohnana Cooling Festival Tent – It’s festival season! That means it’s also summer, which can translate to really hot mornings on the festival grounds. To ensure you don’t end up with sleepless nights (or mornings), you’ll need a tent that’s designed to keep you cool. The Ohnana is made specifically for festivalgoers who tend to be nodding off as the sun is coming up, making use of special heat-deflecting materials and a protective coating to keep the interior cool. In fact, the designers say it remains about 13 degrees Celsius cooler than conventional tents.
