Curved Frame Design & Weather Shield System
Drawing inspiration from over 35 years of Kiwi Camping’s dome tent designs, the Tuatara Summit Extended features a unique curved rain fly and frame with our new weather shield system. This design effectively channels water away from the tent, minimizing condensation and ensuring a dry interior, even in challenging weather conditions.
Exceptional Waterproofing and Durability
Constructed with high-quality materials, the tent boasts a PU10,000mm waterproof rating on all fabrics, UV 50+ protection, and an anti-mould coating. The 280g ripstop polyester body dries quickly and resists mold, eliminating the need for pre-seasoning. Double-stitched, fully seam-sealed seams and windows enhance durability, ensuring the tent withstands New Zealand’s diverse weather conditions.

REVIEWS
My overall experience was fantastic! The tent arrived overnight - it was extremely easy to install! The quality is a 10/10! I had a slight issue but the customer service has been outstanding, literally couldn’t recommend this tent and brand enough! Absolutely impressive :)
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.
Just got one off these roof top.tents very fast on delivery down to blenhiem just put on my truck and set it up this is one very awesome tent so well made and looks amazing and so much room can not wait to go camping now would definitely recommend this tent to any one bloody awsome
Thank-you for taking the time to write a review Shawn! We're stoked it made it down to you quickly; all the best for your camping trip!
Got me one of these for the summer thanks heaps to jackson and jayme for recommending this to us we wanted the best soft shell we could buy highly recommend A+++ service
The summit roof tent is a great design, it’s 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
