Unlike plastic tents, canvas allows small moisture particles from breath & sweat to escape directly through the tent fabric. Keeping you dry and comfortable. What this means for us? canvas allows us to have a highly effective single layer tent. Eliminating the need to peg out an inner then outer tent. Which is necessary when using nylon. Saving time and effort when camping.

Heavy rains cause the cotton canvas fibres to swell, further tightening the weave in wet conditions, keeping the water outside while you stay dry inside. Wingman Of The Road’s canvas is pre-treated so it is quick-drying and won’t retain water when you are ready to pack up and hit the road.

Ever been woken up as soon as the sun comes up when camping? Our 420g canvas blacks out sunlight allowing you to get the rest you need and to wake up when you want too.

Canvas is heavy yes, but it is comfortable.
It keeps you warm at night and keeps you cool when that morning sun hits. Cotton is a poor conductor which makes it a better insulator than plastic retaining body heat on cold nights without building condensation.
If you’ve ever woken up in a plastic tent feeling damp sweaty and uncomfortable – you have experienced insufficient ventilation and breathability.

Tents made from cotton canvas are tough, rip-resistant, and repairable. A properly maintained canvas tent can hold up to decades of use. Rips and tears from falling branches or extreme winds can be sewn up by hand with a simple needle and thread. Ripping and tearing easily, synthetic tent fabric is nearly impossible to repair. Any damage can result in a ruined camping trip and require a total tent replacement.

Using natural materials in earth tone colours as opposed to synthetic materials in fluorescent colours. You will effortlessly blend into your surroundings. This is particularly important when wild camping.
