World-Class, South African–Engineered Roof Tents

Xpeditionz offers one of New Zealand’s most respected hard-shell roof-tent ranges, spanning mid-tier tents through to genuinely higher-specification designs from original, globally proven specialist brands. Our top-tier tents are developed by world-class South African manufacturers with decades of expedition experience, representing a level of engineering, pedigree and comfort rarely seen in the NZ market.

Much of the New Zealand hard-shell roof-tent market is built around generic tent shells that are rebranded and marketed as “premium” or “locally designed.” When assessed objectively on construction, materials, insulation, hardware, and long-term durability, these products sit firmly within a mid-tier performance category. Our own SUB60 sits squarely in this same category and is priced honestly for what it is: a recreational-level hard-shell roof tent suited to general touring. We’re also clear that neither our SUB60, nor other locally branded tents based on similar generic shells, can match the performance, comfort, or long-term durability of our higher-specification world-brand roof tents. In many cases, the price difference to upgrade to a world-brand roof tent is less than buyers expect.

​

Our specialty is serving those looking to move beyond the sea of mid-tier roof tents marketed as “premium” and into genuinely higher-specification designs from original, world-class brands. Brands like EEZI-AWN and Quick Pitch represent a fundamentally different standard of pedigree, performance and comfort, built on experience proven over decades of sustained expedition travel across diverse climates. This level of construction and materials specification is not currently offered by locally branded roof tents in New Zealand.

​

The result is a substantial step up in comfort, all-weather performance, and long-term reliability — often at pricing that sits closer than many expect to tents marketed as premium in the local market.

As the gallery below shows, these differences are evident in welded shell construction, true insulation, and higher-grade materials and fabrics — translating directly into greater comfort, durability, and long-term performance.
