This line of tents in breathable polycotton has been created in response to many customer requsts. Compared with polyester outer tents, this novel fabric keeps interiors noticeably cooler and more refreshing in direct sunshine, while also providing a very durable tent that is more stable in windy weather. All models feature a zip-out groundsheet that protects against dirt, insects and rain, yet can be removed for easy cleaning.

Materials and Constructions

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 Polycotton

HydroTex Polycotton is designed to make your tent more comfortable to live in especially on those hot days. The woven fabric has a water repellent coating on the outside to allow droplets to form and run off the tent then as the rain gets heavier the fabric closes up and seals itself to become waterproof. HydroTex Polycotton fabric has strong resistance to UV decay and when carefully looked after will last for years.

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.
