Description

Canvo is DOD's proprietary polycotton fabric that makes tents more comfortable. The fabric breathes to release humidity and insulate to keep in warmth. Canvo tents are also durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD offers Canvo for sale by the yard so you can craft your own tarps, awning, or other outdoor creations. 

Features

  • Breathability: Canvo tents breathe. Humidity, stickiness, condensation forming on the walls and a tent and dripping on you every time the tent moves, all make for a less comfortable camping experience. Canvo lets the moisture escape, so tents don't get humid.
  • Temperature Regulation: The cotton in Canvo tents helps to regulate internal temperature. These tents stay warmer when it's cold outside, and have ample vents for circulation when it's warm out. This provides a more comfortable camping experience in a wider range of temperatures.
  • Durability and Strength: Canvo tends to be more durable and tear-resistant than polyester or nylon. This makes polycotton tents more resilient to wear and tear, extending their lifespan with proper care.
  • UV Resistance: Canvo fabric generally offers better resistance to UV degradation than polyester or nylon. This means the tent fabric is less likely to weaken or fade over time due to sun exposure.
  • Reduced Noise: Canvo fabric doesn't rustle in the wind as much as synthetic fabrics. The result is a quieter and more peaceful environment inside the tent, especially in windy conditions.
  • Aesthetic and Feel: Canvo tents have a more natural fabric feel and a less 'plasticky' appearance compared to synthetic tents.
  • Fire Resistance: Canvo chars rather than melts when exposed to fire, which can be a safety advantage. Polycotton tents are less likely to drip molten fabric in the event of a fire, unlike purely synthetic materials.

About Canvo

Canvo is a mix of cotton and polyester. Compared to polyester, Canvo provides a superior camping experience. The material breathes so the tent does not become humid, it’s quieter in the wind, and it’s more durable. Canvo is commonly used for tents in Europe and Japan. It is used less commonly in North America due to the cost. In an effort to introduce Canvo tents to the North American market, DOD is offering our line of Canvo tents at prices competitive to polyester tents. You can learn more about Canvo tents here.
