Chimaki Tent

The Chimaki Tent is designed for those who like a bit of style in camp. If Ray and Charles Eames went camping, this would be their tent. The Chimaki is a two walled tent, a thick Canvo™ outer tent protects and thinner Canvo™ inner tent with a large mesh or Canvo™ door. The tent sleeps two. It’s tall enough to standup straight inside. Unlike other one pole tent designs, the pole is on the outside of the tent so it doesn’t get in the way. The Chimaki is a component of the stunning Chimaki Village three room shelter. It can also be used as a standalone tent. If used alone in rainy weather, the Chimaki should always employ a tarp in front to keep rain from getting under the rainfly.

• Versatile design for group or solo/duo camping.
• Easily hangs from a tarp or stands alone with included pole.
• Durable and spark-resistant polycotton fabric.
• Breathable with mesh door and window.
• Compact and convenient.

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.
