World-Class, South African–Engineered Roof Tents

Xpeditionz offers one of New Zealand’s most respected hard-shell roof-tent ranges, including some of the only genuinely high-spec designs and brands ever offered on the NZ market. Our top-tier tents are built by world-class South African manufacturers with decades of expedition experience, representing a level of engineering, comfort and pedigree rarely seen locally.

Much of the NZ market is built around generic hard-shell designs rebranded locally and marketed as premium. When objectively assessed on construction, insulation, hardware and long-term durability, these tents deliver solid recreational performance rather than true top-tier capability. Our SUB60 sits transparently in this category: an honest, well-priced tent suited to general touring, built with the same generic hard shells used by several NZ-branded tents. These are identifiable by plastic corner mouldings not found on true world-brand designs. Buyers are often surprised how little more it costs to step up from this category to a genuine world-brand roof tent, delivering clear upgrades in materials, construction, comfort and long-term durability.

Our higher-spec tents from world brands like EEZI-AWN and Quick Pitch are built on decades of proven expedition use, delivering greater comfort, all-weather performance and long-term reliability at pricing only modestly above many locally branded premium tents.
