Project: Thule Outset, the towbar mounted car tent

The Thule Outset towbar mounted tent will elevate your outdoor experience and offer unparalleled comfort, ease of use and great accessibility. Setting the standard in a new product category means incorporating  latest level of developments in quality and functionality of critical components.

In the early stage of the design it was imperative that all crucial details of the fabric structure should be resistant to the most harsh environmental conditions. From thread to zips and thus also fasteners were carefully assessed and selected to meet these standards. “CAF-316 has clearly out-performed any alternative available on critical aspects like corrosion resistance, durability and performance.”
