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 sleep two. It’s 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 can be used alone or as a component in the stunning Chimaki Village three room shelter.
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.

Polycotton tents provide a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to release humidity and insulate to keep in warmth. Polycotton tents are also durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton that is 60-70% polyester, 30-40% cotton.
As a mix of synthetic and natural fiber - polycotton possesses the best characteristics of both. Synthetic tents don’t breathe, so they become humid when occupied overnight. And synthetic fabrics tear and melt more easily than natural fabrics. Synthetics have almost no ability to hold warmth. At the other end of the spectrum, all-cotton tents are comfortable, durable, and hold warmth but they are heavy and bulky. They also require treatment to achieve waterproofness. Polycotton tents are comfortable, durable, waterproof, and hold warmth without being heavy and bulky.
Polycotton tarps offer a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to allow air circulation and are durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton composed of 60-70% polyester and 30-40% cotton.
As a blend of synthetic and natural fibers, polycotton combines the best characteristics of both materials. Synthetic fabrics are prone to tearing and melting more easily than natural ones. On the other hand, all-cotton tarps, while durable and quiet, are heavy, bulky, and require regular treatment to maintain waterproofness. Polycotton tarps provide comfort, durability, waterproof qualities, and quietness without the bulkiness or heaviness.
I use this under the 6x6 and it's so great. I've also used it with just my tarp. Love it!
I live in Arizona so i always need a tarp. This hangs on mine and it's pretty awespme
I love how it's mostly for hanging on a tarp. It feels differnt having a living room on top of your tent.
As someone who enjoys camping with friends, I bought 3 of these and use it with a tarp and just invite people. Really love the ide.
I loved how unique the setup looked so I got my brother and my cousin who I always camp with to buy these tents too. We use a DOD tarp between us and it's awesome! People at camp sites look at us JEALOUS.
