HYK Outdoors Debuts Groundbreaking Teardrop Camper With Amorim Cork Composites
Discover the latest innovation in sustainable camping as HYK Outdoors introduces their groundbreaking teardrop camper, aimed at redefining eco-friendly travel.
In a bid to revolutionize the world of outdoor adventure, HYK Outdoors, renowned for their artisanal approach to camper craftsmanship, has unveiled their latest innovation – a groundbreaking teardrop camper crafted from their partnership with Amorim Cork Composites. This pioneering design marries sustainability with functionality, marking a significant stride in the realm of eco-conscious travel.
At the heart of this visionary teardrop camper lies a structural marvel: plywood infused with Amorim MAC016, a blend of cork and other circular economy materials. This ingenious concoction not only bestows durability and structural integrity upon the vehicle but also champions sustainability by repurposing materials that would otherwise be discarded. Furthermore, it boasts superior thermal properties and sound insulation, ensuring that campers are cocooned in comfort amidst their outdoor escapades.
“We at HYK get to live and breathe the Outdoor Life as part of our profession. We work with our shop doors open and take our campers out as often as we can. Thus, convenience and comfort are what we seek to deliver through the design of our campers and camper kits.”
—Jeff Baker, CEO of HYK Outdoors
HYK Outdoors’ commitment to fostering a symbiotic relationship between adventurers and nature is palpable in every facet of this design. The walls of the camper are fortified with multilayer plywood panels featuring a cork composite core, elevating thermal and acoustic insulation to unprecedented levels. This integration not only amplifies the camper’s sustainability quotient but also enhances the overall camping experience, cocooning occupants in tranquility amidst the bustling wilderness.
In a nod to the camper’s outdoor ethos, cork takes center stage as a visual flourish adorning the walls and ceiling. This aesthetic choice not only imbues the interior with a disruptive allure but also serves as a poignant reminder of the camper’s deep-rooted connection to nature. Beyond its visual appeal, cork’s natural texture imparts a soft and inviting ambiance to the camper’s interior, enveloping occupants in a cocoon of warmth and comfort.
The debut of this visionary teardrop design stole the spotlight at the recent California Overland Adventure, underscoring HYK Outdoors’ unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of sustainable travel. By harnessing the unparalleled versatility of cork, HYK Outdoors has not only crafted a camper that epitomizes eco-consciousness but has also set a new standard for sustainable vehicle manufacturing.
“We think we’ve figured out how to build high-quality, affordable and customizable campers that can take you into the heart of the Outdoors…that don’t require a huge vehicle to tow.”
—Jeff Baker, CEO of HYK Outdoors
