Bibler
Fitzroy Tent
Three quarter view of the Bibler Fitzroy with the fabric
and mesh panels of the front door zipped shut and a 5'11" model.
The rear of the tent features a smaller door with a solid fabric panel
and a detachable mesh panel. ToddTex fabric is utilized for the walls
of the tent to create a breathable waterproof shelter, and a four pole
interlocked frame ensures the structure's strength. Self adjusting guy
line systems automatically equalize tension across the three anchor points
on each side of the tent.

supports.

ToddTex Fabric
ToddTex
ToddTex is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film, a thin film of
stretched Teflon, laminated to a ripstop outer fabric and a fuzzy polyester
inner fabric. Outer layer is a 30-denier high tenacity nylon ripstop
woven in a symmetric 132 x 132 count pattern with UV resistant and
DWR finish. Inner layer is a fuzzy Nexus lining that wicks water as
fast as a paper towel. This action disperses moisture across the interior
of the tent for rapid evaporation through the PTFE membrane.
