What are the roof tent fabrics and how to choose?

As a mobile “home” for the outdoors, a rooftop tent is a must-have for outdoor camping. Camping also requires high requirements for tent fabrics, because it must adapt to various outdoor environments and provide users with maximum comfort.

 

When choosing a car roof tent, we have to consider its material. The following are common materials:

Nylon

 

1. Nylon:

- Advantages: Very strong and lightweight, it is an ideal choice for ultralight tents. It has good tear resistance, especially when woven into a tear-proof fabric. Nylon coated with silicone or polyurethane is also waterproof.

- Disadvantages: Nylon is not as UV-resistant as polyester, which can lead to degradation over time. It also has poor heat resistance and may not perform well in direct sunlight.

 

 

 

 Polyester

2. Polyester:

- Advantages: Polyester is more UV-resistant than nylon and is more suitable for long-term exposure to sunlight. It is also more heat-resistant and dries slightly faster. Polyester tends to be more wrinkle-resistant and can hold its shape well. 

- Disadvantages: Although durable, polyester is usually not as strong as nylon and may be heavier.

 

 

 

 Canvas

3. Canvas:

- Pros: Canvas is very durable, has excellent insulation properties, and is suitable for all weather conditions. It is breathable, which reduces condensation inside the tent.

- Cons: Canvas is heavy and bulky, not very suitable for backpacking. It requires more maintenance to prevent mold and rot.

 

 

 

 Polycotton

4. Polycotton (polyester and cotton blend):

- Pros: Polycotton combines the durability and UV resistance of polyester with the breathability and insulation of cotton. It is strong and lasts longer than pure synthetics.

- Cons: Polycotton is expensive and may still be prone to mold if not properly maintained. It is also heavier than pure synthetics.

 

 

 

 Oxford cotton

5.Oxford cotton

Oxford cotton is a fabric used in rooftop tents that is known for its durability and water resistance. Here are some of the properties of Oxford cotton:

- Waterproof: It is usually treated with a water-repellent finish, making it suitable for outdoor use.

- Durability: Oxford cloth is usually strong and durable, and can withstand all kinds of weather conditions.

- Maintenance: It is usually low-maintenance and quick-drying, which is convenient for frequent use.

- Breathability: Some Oxford cotton fabrics are breathable, which helps reduce condensation inside the tent.

Its worth noting that modern Oxford fabrics may be made from a blend of multiple materials, including polyester, to enhance certain properties like waterproofing and durability. When considering an Oxford cotton rooftop tent, check the specific fabric blend and treatment used to ensure it meets your requirements.
