Details
Camping, the way it’s meant to feel
Sharing the DNA of the classic British mountaineering tent - bomber canvas construction trusted on serious alpine objectives - Frejus pairs traditional materials with modern mountain technology.
Built for long seasons in the mountains, the kind where you unpack, settle in and stay a while. Breathable organic polycotton keeps air moving, condensation at bay and the inside cool when the sun is at its strongest. Frejus is the antidote to disposable, sweaty, over-complicated camping gear.
Now updated with a more versatile pitch and a refined structure, it's equally at home on a warm summer evening or riding out a stormy autumn night.
Highlights
- Built to last - steel poles, upgraded pegs and tough groundsheet
- Breathable polycotton - keeps air flowing and condensation at bay
- Veratile pitching - pitch inner or outer first, or use either on its own
- Stable A-frame design - hugs the ground and shrugs off the breeze
- Spacious for 2 - extra length for kit, plus porch space for boots or a dog
- Stay cool and protected - sewn in groundsheet with mesh upper
A naturally comfortable shelter
Most modern tents are designed around weight and pack size. Fréjus is designed around how camping actually feels.
The breathable organic polycotton canvas regulates temperature naturally, helping the tent stay cooler in hot weather and reducing the clammy condensation common in synthetic shelters. Fresh air flows more freely through the fabric, creating a calmer, drier space to sleep after a long day outside.
The updated inner combines a durable sewn-in 900D bathtub groundsheet with a mesh upper to balance airflow, comfort and protection from the elements.
This is mountain technology focused on livability, comfort and shelter performance — not just grams on a spec sheet.
Built to stay the distance
This is proper camping kit - built to last season after season. The canvas flysheet shrugs off UV rays and stands up to years of use, outlasting standard nylon or polyester tents. Steel poles give it that reassuring strength, while redesigned steel pegs make pitching easier when the ground turns stubborn.
The A-frame scaffold structure has been refined to sit lower and more securely, helping it stay put when the wind picks up.
Space to settle in
Fréjus is made for camps where you unpack, settle in and stay a while. The longer inner gives you room for both sleepers and kit, while the porch space keeps muddy boots, bags or a four-legged companion out of the way.
Pitch the outer first when the weather looks uncertain, or just the inner on warm, dry nights for a more open, breathable feel and a better view of the sky. However you set it up, it’s a tent that lets you shape your camp to the conditions.
Traditional materials meets mountain technology.
Lower impact by design, Fréjus uses organic cotton in its polycotton canvas, reducing water and pesticide use during cultivation. The durable construction is designed to last and be repairable, helping reduce waste over time. With fewer synthetic fibres in the tent body, it also sheds fewer microplastics into the environment.

Sustainability and Product Care
Before Use
Canvas tents always need ‘weathering in’ before their first use or after a prolonged period of storage. This process seals up any spaces in the canvas weave or the stitching and ensures that your tent is completely waterproof. All you have to do is pitch your tent outside in wet weather or give it a thorough soaking with a hose, allowing the tent to dry fully before packing it away.
Looking After Your Tent
Polycotton canvas is susceptible to mildew if it's not allowed to completely dry out. You must always ensure that your tent is completely dry before packing it away for a prolonged period of time. We use polycotton canvas in our Roundhouse which is faster drying and more resistant to mildew, but still requires the same care.

How It Is Made
Organic Cotton
The Frejus uses 100% organic cotton. Organic cotton farming produces significantly less CO₂, uses less water and eliminates the use of harmful pesticides. And it feels great to camp under!
Gear You'll Love For Longer
We've chosen materials and construction techniques to increase your tent's lifespan and ensures that it will last for years. We've used UV-resistant polycotton canvas, durable 400D Oxford PU for the floor and steel poles and pegs.
Wood
All wooden toggles and fitments are sourced from sustainable sources.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
