Advanced Fabric Technology – Unique Patented System
The Swisskings brand fabric is tested and certified by SGS, offering an exceptional balance between breathability, comfort, strength and durability when facing harsh outdoor conditions.
Technical fabric specifications:
- Material: The fabric used is a technical textile S320 made from synthetic fibers, featuring a ripstop reinforcement structure (10-point plaid) and a functional coating.
- Waterproof rating: 10,000 mm water column, ensuring complete protection against rain.
- Exceptional breathability: 1,164.2 g/m²/h, allowing internal moisture to escape and preventing condensation.
- Water Repellency Spray Test: Score of 95/100 (AATCC TM22-2017), guaranteeing excellent water repellency.
- UV resistance: Rated 4.5/5, providing effective protection against prolonged sun exposure.
- Free from harmful substances: Compliant with environmental regulations and guaranteed phthalate-free.
What does a 10,000 mm water column mean?
A value of 10,000 mm means that:
- the fabric can withstand the pressure exerted by a 10-meter-high column of water
- without allowing water to penetrate
👉 In practical terms:
- 10,000 mm = heavy rain + wind
- pressure far higher than standard vertical rainfall
- considered highly waterproof for outdoor textiles
What is the Water Repellency Spray Test?
The Water Repellency Spray Test measures a fabric’s ability to repel water. With a score of 95/100, the Swisskings fabric effectively repels water and ensures a dry interior, even during heavy rainfall.
Why this test is relevant for a rooftop tent
For a rooftop tent, the Spray Test verifies that:
- water beads and runs off the fabric,
- the fabric does not saturate quickly,
- breathability remains effective (less saturation = less condensation),
- comfort is maintained in light to heavy rain.
Why is a breathability rating of 28,000 g/m²/24 h essential?
This high value indicates the fabric’s ability to evacuate internal moisture. The Swisskings fabric can transmit approximately 1.164 kg of water vapor per m² per hour, and nearly 28,000 g/m²/24 h.
Unlike many rooftop tents on the market, Swisskings fabric has been independently tested by SGS according to the JIS L 1099:2021 (Method B1) standard.
This level of performance places Swisskings fabric among the very high-end outdoor materials, comparable to certain benchmark membranes, while retaining all the essential qualities required for a rooftop tent:
- Thermal comfort: prevents heat and moisture buildup
- Optimal ventilation: reduces condensation
- Consistently dry interior: ideal for humid climates
- Weather protection
- Durability
- Wind resistance
Why is a fabric free from harmful substances essential?
Some phthalates are classified as CMR substances (carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic) or as endocrine disruptors. As they are not permanently bound to plastics, they may gradually migrate into the air, dust or through direct contact.
Swisskings has developed a PVC-free technical fabric, compliant with current European regulations (REACH) and free from phthalates classified as SVHC.
“Is the Swisskings fabric safe for health, including for children or during prolonged use?”
The materials used for Swisskings rooftop tents have been tested using gas chromatography (GC), a reference analytical method allowing precise identification and quantification of regulated substances.
Test results show a level of 50 mg/kg, while the limit set by the European Union is 1,000 mg/kg, meaning a value 20 times below the authorized threshold.
This compliance ensures safe use, including during prolonged use in confined environments such as a rooftop tent, and within a family setting.
Swisskings prioritizes materials that meet European standards to ensure an optimal balance between performance, durability and user safety.

- Lightweight: Easy to handle and install.
