Not all “premium” roof tents are built the same
Roof tents built to this standard are a rarity in New Zealand
Most roof tents in NZ are variations of the same generic, mass-produced shells - often rebranded and marketed as “locally designed.”
Xpeditionz range sits above that.
We specialise in globally proven, South African-made expedition-grade tents - including brands with 40+ years of real-world use across extreme environments worldwide.
Most hard shell tents use:
-
Rebranded generic shells
-
Plastic corner construction
-
Lower-grade canvas
-
Minimal insulation - often relying on anti-condensation mats
-
Basic mattresses and hardware
Our SUB60 sits in this category - but does it exceptionally well and represents outstanding value for money.
Step above that and everything changes:
-
Fully welded aluminium shells
-
No plastic corner joints
-
Genuine South African polycotton canvas - dual layered up to 800gsm equivalent on selected models
-
Proper thermal insulation (up to an inch thick) built into the tent shells
-
Premium high-density mattresses
-
Expedition-grade construction throughout
Built for customers who want something genuinely higher-end - without spending dramatically more than typical NZ-market tents.
