Robens Expert
Robens Expert tent range
The Robens Expert range represents the next step for adventurers who want fully featured, technical shelters built to perform where nature sets the terms. Designed for up to four seasoned explorers, these dome and tunnel tents deliver a robust blend of durability, weather protection and adaptable space - supporting journeys that reach deeper into demanding terrain, no matter the environment or mode of exploration.
As part of the Our Promise initiative, the Expert collection uses the latest HydroTex® HD RS Recycled polyester, a strong 75-denier fabric made from repurposed materials and PU-coated for enhanced waterproofing. With a 5,000 mm hydrostatic head and taped seams, it provides reliable defence against sustained wind and rain while maintaining the strength and abrasion resistance of the original HydroTex HD RS fabric. This makes the Expert range ideal for long-term use across varied and unpredictable weather conditions.
Anodised aluminium #7001 poles form the structural backbone of the tents, offering precise balance between strength and weight. Combined with aerodynamic profiles, adjustable pegging points and efficient ventilation systems, the Expert tents deliver dependable stability and comfort for explorers who rely on their gear day after day.
Dome tents
Strong, spacious and highly adaptable
The Lodge models showcase the all-round capability of dome construction within the Expert series. Their free-standing inners make pitching straightforward on uneven ground, while twin porch areas provide generous storage and cooking space. Adjustable top vents, controlled from inside the inner, help regulate airflow and reduce condensation during extended journeys.
The variable door configuration allows one, two or all panels to be opened depending on weather and ventilation needs, and luminous zip pulls make night-time access intuitive. For small teams who require robust, dependable shelter with excellent usable height, the dome models offer a confident, comfortable base for ambitious travel.
Tunnel tents
Efficient trekking shelters with extended living space
The Starlight and Voyager models refine the tunnel design for multi-day missions where efficiency and weather handling matter. They can be pitched flysheet first or as one, ensuring the inner remains dry during wet setups. Their twin-wedge or extended-porch profiles create aerodynamic stability while offering ample space for cooking, storing equipment and preparing for the next stage of the journey.
Covered ventilation at the front and rear, colour-coded poles and sleeves, and closed-end pole sleeves all contribute to a smooth pitching experience – valuable when conditions change quickly. The Expert tunnel tents are well-suited for explorers who prioritise reliable protection, organised living space and a streamlined, packable shelter.
Colour-coded poles and sleeves simplify the process of pitching, and closed-end pole sleeves guide poles efficiently into place – valuable details when setting up in wind or fading light. For adventurers aiming for compact packs and streamlined travel, the tunnel designs deliver impressive space-to-weight performance.
Shared Expert features across the range
Across the entire Expert range, technical refinement is a defining theme. Adjustable pegging points use sturdy alloy buckles for secure tensioning, and luminous zip pulls support easy operation in low light. Mesh ventilation, internal organisation points and a flysheet repair patch ensure long-term usability.
Each tent in the range includes V-profile pegs, crafted from 17.5 mm anodised aluminium with a hooked top for secure anchoring. Their distinctive Robens red colour makes them highly visible in grass, reducing the risk of loss and simplifying camp breakdown.
Together, these shared features create a unified identity: gear that is engineered for reliability and built to support explorations where performance is non-negotiable.
