Our standard tent material, the hardworking Outtex® 3000 Select is anything but standard. Ideal for general camping, the fabric is a great-all-rounder that will keep you dry and comfortable throughout your summer camping holidays. So you can kick back and relax. Made from high quality polyester with a weight of just 64g/m2, it’s lighter than our other tent fabrics making it a brilliant choice for touring and shorter breaks.

The material’s Taffeta weave offers strength and breathability, while all-weather protection comes from its special features. These include a UPF 30+ rating for in-built sun protection and a waterproof PU-coating with a 3,000 hydrostatic head. This means the tent can handle all but the most extreme weather conditions. The fabric also is fire resistant with a CPAI-84 rating, which is the industry standard for anti-flammability.

Looking for a tough, high quality tent fabric that can meet the rough and tumble of outdoor family life? The Outtex® 4000 Select fits the bill perfectly. The Taffeta polyester weave is stronger and more durable than our standard tent material, making it even more resistant to rips and tears. While the material’s waterproof PUcoating has a 4,000 hydrostatic head, which is 30% higher than our standard material.

This makes it watertight even on the rainiest days. As most campers like to follow the sun, you’ll be pleased to know the fabric also has a UPF 30+ rating, to keep yourbfamily safe from harmful rays. A little heavier than the standard model due to the extra strength and waterproofing, the fabric weighs 73g/m2, which is still pretty lightweight for easy travels. A CPAI-84 rating, which is the industry standard for fire resistant tent materials rounds up the fabric’s features.

Do you love to camp throughout the year? Then you need to go pro. Made for serious campers, Outtex® 6000 Pro is a top-level polyester fabric that is packed with amazing features. Like the reinforced Oxford weave that makes it tougher and more resistant to rips and tears than other polyester fabrics. Or the PU waterproof coating with a whopping 6,000 hydrostatic head, which is twice that of our standard tent fabric.

The higher the hydrostatic head, the more waterproof a tent is – and the 6000 Pro offers peace of mind, whatever the weather. The 6000 Pro also has our highest level of sun protection, with a UPF 50+ rating to keep you safe from harmful rays. These additional features do make the fabric slightly heavier than our other polyester materials, weighing in at 108g/m2. But this is still light enough for easy carrying from car to campsite. As expected, the material meets the industry standard CPAI-84 rating for fire resistance

The Outtex® Airtech takes camping comfort to new levels. Made from polycotton, which is a polyester and cotton mix; this material combines the best of both fabrics. Extra breathable, the material keeps the tent fresh and ventilated, even on the hottest or most humid of days. While on rainy days, the Outtex® Airtech’s special water repellent coating and dense weave means rain will bead and roll off. At the same time, the fabric’s natural fibres will swell, increasing the water resistance yet allowing water vapour to escape, eliminating condensation inside the tent.

Another amazing feature is that the fabric’s heavy weight acts like a noise barrier, blocking ambient sounds from outside while you’re in the tent so it is easier to relax during the day and sleep at night. Polycotton is not a light material, weighing in at 210g/m2, and therefore not suited for backpacking or touring. But it is exceptionally tough and durable, offering the ultimate in camping comfort for family summer holidays for many years to come.
