OZTRAIL tourer SERIES - traditional camping at its best

The Tourers are very quick and easy to put up, the secret is the roof frame. When assembled the roof frame lies between the double-skin roof. The seams are positioned below the frame so they are not vulnerable to weather. Peg down points are stainless steel rings, not eyelets.

About Canvas
Modern tent canvas is a blend of cotton and polyester yarns impregnated with a waterproof treatment. It is a highly effective waterproof barrier that sheds water from it’s surface. When used for Cabin and Tourer style tents with tubular steel poles, the tent forms a very strong and robust structure. The reason why it can be used as a single skin format is because cotton allows the fabric to breathe. That also makes it perfect for swags.
Conditioning your new canvas tent
Once you get your new tent home, it is important to condition the tent. Simply pitch your tent and wet it down with your garden hose. The needle holes shrink around the thread. The canvas fabric also benefits from this because the cotton swells into the weave and the waterproof treatment settles within the fabric. Let the tent dry completely before doing it a second time. Always pack your tent away dry.
SatProof 600+ Canvas (340g/m2)
The waterproofing agent is saturated throughout the Canvas, which means that even after wear and tear it will still be a waterproof barrier. SatProof 600+ offers a minimum of 600mm hydrostatic head, which makes it a superior waterproof canvas. It is a breathable fabric, therefore reducing the effects of condensation. The pores in the cotton allow water vapour to pass through but are too small for water droplets to enter.
roof frame option
You now have an option to either leave the roof frame in one piece inside the tent and have the large flat carry bag or dismantle the roof frame to allow for a more compact package. This is totally up to you. The carry bag can morph into either format.
