Why Feldon Shelter & Choosing a Roof Top Tent.

There are many factors to consider when choosing a roof top tent for your overlanding adventures. These factors may include price, quality, ease of setting up and durability.

We started importing Feldon Shelter in Europe by having these factors in mind. Everything started when we were looking for a tent to install on our personal overland vehicle. After hours of research we decided that Feldon Shelter was the one we needed, but unfortunately, it wasn’t available in Europe; thus the idea of importing it ourselves was born.

Feldon Shelter tents are designed in New Zealand, made by some of the best locally, but also internationally sourced materials in order to ensure quality and longevity. They are designed by Adventurers, people whose passion for camping, experience and knowledge helped in making tents that are built to withstand the harsh condition of NZ.

All tents are made by Feldon's X-Canvas, a 360G Poly Cotton Rip-Stop Canvas which is waterproof, as well as mould, mildew and UV resistant; making them perfect for most weather conditions, from heavy rain, snow, high humidity/moisture levels, even against the burning sun, during those hot summer days. Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel is used for all components & hardware, along with an industrial grade rubber sealing method, ensuring the entire tent is weatherproof and corrosion free in salt, sun, rain and snow.

In order to back up this claim, a 2-Year warranty follows all tents.

The second most important factor is the ease of setting up camp. Most Roof Top Tents have this advantage over ground tents. Now, setting up and packing back down a Hard Shell tent is usually hustle free; in the case of Fledon Shelter's Hawks Nest, this only takes a few seconds, making it perfect for adventurers who like to change many different camps throughout their trip. The issues usually start with soft shell tents, more specifically, packing the tent back down and having to put on the outter cover. Feldon Shelter’s Crows Nest is not one of those tents; its cover can be refitted really quick, making it a perfect solution for adventurers who due to weight limits can’t fit a Hard Shell tent on their vehicle or are looking for a more “budget-friendly” option.

Talking about budgets, another equally important point for most people is price. Feldon Shelter tents are priced in a way so that they offer premium-high quality to a market’s mid-range price, making them a real value for money option for a tent which will withstand the test of time and help you explore further.

Finally, it's the Feldon Shelter’s community! The Feldon Family is already a thing in NZ, even having established the “Feldon wave” when two overlanders meet on the road while diving. Feldon Shelter's community is known for the common love of the outdoors, camping and sports! The same community is now making its way in Europe! The European Feldon Family is already growing, with annual Feldon Trips and meet ups being planned!

So, its your turn to join the Family and Unfold Adventure yourself!
