Information about roof tents
Waterproof seams
The secret to a truly robust roof tent for demanding expeditions lies in the detail of the seam technique. Since we inevitably have to pierce through the material when sewing the individual components, we only use genuine special tent yarn from the German global market leader Amann. This unique yarn consists of a cotton core with a waterproof membrane as a coating, which is precisely tailored to our tent material. When exposed to moisture, the cotton core expands, while the membrane bonds to the tent material – a natural process that ensures permanently tight seams.
Mattresses with comfort
With a mattress thickness of almost 9 cm, we offer the thickest mattresses in the range of high-quality roof tents for outdoor enthusiasts . This above-average thickness not only ensures outstanding sleeping comfort but also has excellent thermal properties. In Central European climates, this thick mattress is sufficient in most cases to minimize condensation problems. The body stays warm, the mattress dry, and the tent experience pleasant – even on multi-day tours in changing weather conditions.
Functional fabrics
Modern roof tents offer a better climate thanks to high-quality functional fabrics and eliminate the need for inner tents. These fabrics effectively wick moisture away without compromising protection from rain, ensuring a comfortable and dry night's sleep. Thermal tents are only effective with heating and can even encourage mold growth without it. For optimal ventilation and comfort on cold nights, high-quality sleeping bags and mattress pads are recommended.
