The summit extended roof tent is a great design
The summit extended roof tent is a great design. Its looks, practically and comfort is superior. The weather shields create great airflow in any conditions, you can leave the windows open and not have to worry about the rain driving in, also the way it comes out over your car is another place for cover and to add a annex room. Personally I think it's the best soft shell roof tent you can buy and the team at kiwi camping a great to deal with! Can't wait for the weekends

After running this tent for over a year i can say that it is the best extended soft shell tent on the market. After many very wet and windy south island nights the improved weather shields are a game changer. unlike other tents that flap and make so much noise. the weather shields direct the air around the tent seamlessly and a side bonus that you can have the windows open in heavy rain without the inside of your tent getting wet. The blackout tent and fly combo also makes summer camping a dream, no more waking up sweating as it deflects the heat so well. and also lets you have a cheeky sleep in as it keeps the light out. If you're after a great product, that has great after service care, you cannot look past kiwi camping.
