This is the more luxurious, Canvo™ version of the Shonen Tent, a versatile and lightweight shelter designed for a more stylish outdoor adventure. The Shonen’s distinctive shape, with peaked ridge line and portico, might put you in mind of a Bedouin desert tent. With the inner tent installed, you get two rooms: large meshed-in sleeping chamber and a floorless antechamber to store gear undercover. Or remove the inner tent for a larger floorless covered space that you can use throughout the day.
Canvo™ is DOD's revolutionary new tent fabric designed to maximize comfort in camp. Canvo™ provides a vastly superior camping experience, compared to the polyester used to make most modern tents. The material breathes, so it does not become humid. It’s quieter in the wind, so you get a better night's sleep. It feels more natural than polyester and it’s more durable.

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.
Got this tent for week-long camping in the heat. I wanted a tent with privacy and enough height to easily dress in. Found a few videos online for how to set it up because I'm not used to 1-pole style. The 'living room' is good for lounging in the shade and as a dressing room. It's not as tall as I expected, but it was tall enough for me (170cm) for me to stand up in. The ceiling gets narrow so if you are taller than 172cm (5'8"), you will hit your head on some part of the ceiling. Have not used this yet in the rain. Thinking about getting another one!
The design and fabric are excellent. The only thing I wish DoD would do is to make this tent taller, 6' 5" and 10'x12'. I would definitely buy one and am sure it would sell very well. Oh, and add a stove jack for use in cooler seasons. Please design a Bigger Shonen Canvo! Thank you!
It's pretty badass tent. Looks like nothing else at the campsite. I love it.
A reliable choice for campers who appreciate functionality and durability in their gear.
