Material and Construction
Every Robens tent is made from high quality materials and manufactured with great care. All tents are designed and then tested thoroughly before being allowed to reach the market. Featuring fabrics such as HydroTex Ultralite, HydroTex HD, HydroTex 5000 and Hydrotex Polycotton throughout the range as well as details like alloy poles, gear lofts, clip-on pole system and a carrier bag with compression straps these tents are made to exacting standards for all users. Each fabric has built in UV resistance for a longer life and with quality fittings these tents are designed to withstand the rigours of outdoor life.
Hydrotex Ultralite
With the new HydroTex Ultralite, which is exclusively manufactured for us, we have succeeded in further reducing the weight of our Lite tents. The material is a 30 denier ripstop polyester fabric, which has a silicone coating on both sides and a 3000 mm waterproof rating. HydroTex Ultralite also has amazing strength, better UV-resistance than comparable nylon fabrics and requires less retensioning after getting wet. Reinforced loading points and the strong floor with a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm ensures that the tent has a long service life.
Weight of Tents
In the documentation for Robens tents we always list two different weights: The maximum (max.) weight is the weight of the complete tent as we supply it - including the carrier bag, pre-attached guylines, pegs, repair patches, and a spare ferrule for pole repair; with the large Adventure models this also includes the groundsheets for the front living area and the poles and guylines for erecting the entrances. The minimum (min.) weight is the weight of the tent without guylines or any other accessories and with only the basic minimum number of pegs needed to erect the tent.
