Pack up, unfold and enjoy the perfect balance of comfort and adventure!
The folding tent combines lightness with impressive space utilization in roof tents . It stands for maximum flexibility in mobile camping. Gordigear has certainly played a pioneering role in the development of this special roof tent variant. The typical fabric construction with integrated poles enables compact folding for transport and generous headroom when set up. Folding tents, also known as softcover tents, are lighter and cheaper than hard shell tents , but require a little more time to set up and take down.
A modern, high-quality folding roof tent benefits from many years of development in the field of technical textiles. The multi-layer fabric construction combines minimal weight with optimal tear resistance. Load tests document tensile strengths that go far beyond normal use. The specially developed materials withstand even the toughest environmental influences without any loss of functionality.
Technical features of folding tents:
The folding technology of modern roof tents enables ergonomic and easy assembly. The high side walls create a generous feeling of space with maximum headroom. Compared to conventional tent shapes, folding tents offer twice as much usable interior space with the same floor space. This efficient use of space creates a comfortable living experience even during longer stays.
The flysheet, as a double roof, provides shade for the tent so that pleasant interior temperatures are guaranteed even in summer.
The strategic arrangement of the windows optimizes the incidence of light without compromising privacy. Multi-layered covers with integrated mosquito net construction allow flexible adaptation to different weather and temperature conditions. This well-thought-out design significantly improves the quality of living.
The functional heart of every folding tent is its sophisticated pole system. Light metal poles with precise joints ensure reliable stability. Field tests show complete assembly times of less than three minutes from closed to ready for use. The pre-assembled components minimize the effort and reduce the risk of operating errors.
The folding mechanism with decisive advantages:
The reduced weight of folding roof tents offers decisive advantages for travelling. The roof load of the vehicle is minimised. This has a positive effect on driving behaviour and enables use with a low, permissible roof load. The combination with lightweight awning systems extends the usable outdoor area without excessive strain on the vehicle.
The smaller footprint when folded up means that little space is needed on the roof. Depending on the vehicle roof, this means that two additional tents or other outdoor equipment can be transported.
The modular design of modern folding tents allows for a wide range of extensions for different purposes. Suitable awning systems significantly increase the protected living space. The connection mechanisms enable quick assembly and disassembly, while maintaining watertightness.
Additional roofs for the entrance area offer protection from rain and UV radiation. The flexible fabric construction also allows the use of various accessories such as inner tent cabins or storage nets. This adaptability creates all the conditions for every travel situation, from short trips to expeditions lasting several weeks.
The flexible construction of the folding tent allows for optimal adaptation to different weather conditions. Generous ventilation openings ensure pleasant temperatures even in summer heat. Thermographic measurements show significantly cooler interior temperatures compared to conventional tent types in direct sunlight.
Important aspects of climate regulation:
Proper treatment and cleaning will extend the life of the folding roof tent considerably. We recommend using special, material-friendly care and cleaning products for the textile surfaces. The zippers and mechanical components deserve special attention, as they will continue to function smoothly with regular care.
After intensive use, the fabrics should be re-impregnated to protect their waterproofness in the long term. A well-ventilated and dry room is ideal for storage out of season. Completely drying all textile components before storing them prevents the formation of mold and preserves the quality of the material for many years of enjoyment with intensive use.
