Fabrics

The first fabrics of its kind originally developed for the UK market, available in a range of weights from 8oz to 24oz base cloth.

One of the most important elements of a tent is the fabric.
Our fabric is a 52% polyester 48% cotton blended. Woven exclusively to give a high strength, low weight ratio. Woven in characteristic ripstop weave or plain weave, the cotton content provides breathability while the polyester content gives the fabric strength. It has excellent properties in resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage, as well as degradation from prolonged exposure to sunlight.

 

Unfortunately, there are many different types of fabrics available, something that you as a customer unfortunately cannot see and feel
Only later will you find out what kind of fabric was actually used to make the tent. Below a number of clear differences.

Ask for it

When buying a tent, always ask about the fabric that is used, because there are clear differences.
We only use 1 fabric, the best there is. Namely 52% polyester 48% cotton, 540 gr / m2, 60/80 cm water column, final: FRW (Fire Rot and Water proof) and Standard fire resistant and retardant. Our fabrics are also used in the English army. And for Yurts, among others.

That is why we can also give a 3-year warranty on the fabric.
