Outwell has taken all of the best details of the Premium Polyester range of tents and reproduced them in the new Outtex Airtech Polycotton range, producing arguably the best tents on the market today. The polycotton flysheet provides a cooler internal climate (ideal for listening to jazz) and is inherently more breathable than polyester. While it is also significantly heavier than polyester, the increased weight of these tents has been offset by the use of aluminium alloy poles throughout rather than heavier steel as in the other Outwell ranges. Another major feature is the zipped in PVC tarpaulin groundsheets that provide a totally enclosed environment when in use but can be completely removed and cleaned/aired when not.

Airtech is a Polycotton fabric with a water repellent coating on the outside which allows water droplets to form and run off the tent then, as the rain gets heavier the fabric closes up and seals itself to become totally waterproof. Airtech also has a strong resistance to UV decay and, if carefully looked after, will last for many years.

The Outwell Norfolk Lake is the largest in the range and can sleep up to eight people in comfort by virtue of the 3+3 inner tents and the removable 2-berth inner tent. It features a front door and two side doors (which double as no-see um mesh screen doors), all round ventilation, and no less than six vent-view windows. With or without the 2-berth inner employed, there is abundant enclosed living space to enjoy and of course the option of propping the front or side doors to use as a sun canopy. The tent is pitched flysheet first or as one.

Other features include: two steel porch poles; carrier bag; Outwell doormat; internal organiser; D-shaped inner doors; adjustable reinforced pegging point; pre-attached luminous guys; full length mesh pocket; Outwell Dry Zip System; Guyline retainer system.
