Double Dee Compact Hard Shell
$7,109.00
Subject to $500 pre-order deposit - available for delivery in early 2024
Ideal for pickup truck bed racks or other vehicles where footprint is a concern, Double Dee is a compact hard shell that unfolds into spacious living quarters. Thanks to its small packed size and fold-out design, it provides interior space rivalling soft shell tents when fully set up, and retains the durability and ease of use of a hard shell when packed. The innovative X-hinges also raise the back of the tent to aid airflow, increase headroom, and let in more light.
Take a closer look and you will see even more thoughtful and creative features. This includes an incredibly supportive composite MDI memory-foam mattress, an integrated LED strip that can be mounted at different points in the tent (as well as externally using the built-in sailtracks), moveable storage pockets, and much more.
The versatility of the Double Dee doesnât stop when itâs packed up. With approximately 100L of usable storage space when closed, you can store all of your bedding and little knick-knacks in the tent and reduce clutter inside your vehicle.
The tent body is made from premium 280gsm ripstop polycotton canvas and features an impressive 3000mm waterhead rating (similar to a soft-shell rain fly), high profile automotive rubber weather seals, internal seam sealing, and a removable fly that will keep you dry in extended rainy conditions.
Make sure to check the weight rating and suitability of your roof rack and vehicle with appropriate manufacturers prior to purchase. We recommend professional installation through your local dealer or off-road shop.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
In 1991, Darche revolutionised the traditional swag market with the introduction of the Dome style swag. Darren OâDwyer, the founder of Darche with his wife Cheryl (DAR-CHE), embarked on an eastern Australia journey. Wanting a shelter arrangement that was quick, practical and easy to stow, Darren used his imagination and created a canvas shell with fibreglass poles and the dome style swag was born. Darren realised he required a suitable and purpose-built factory arrangement in order to suffice demand. Using Australian supply chain partners, Darche became the leading swag and canvas converter in Australia.
Today Darche is proudly owned by the Charles Parsons Group who have been actively involved for over 20 years in supplying textile and trim componentry to Darche. Charles Parsons are the largest textile wholesaler in the Southern Hemisphere with offices in every capital city of Australia, including offices in Fiji, Auckland and Shanghai. The day-to-day running of Darche occurs in a warehouse facility based in Thomastown, Victoria with a site area of more than 40,000m2. Darche is overseen by experienced textile product developers, business strategists and passionate staff who are keen outdoor enthusiasts with sound knowledge and experience to match.
OUR PROMISE
We are passionate, dynamic and keen. We enjoy the same lifestyle choices as our consumers. We strive to provide our consumers the very best value, reliability and service and most importantly we recognise the trust they place on us. We welcome our consumerâs feedback both positive and negative and promise to keep delivering whilst listening. We are mindful of our vulnerable environment and build our products to last the journey. We encourage lifetime use and if over the years it requires attention, even if it is a discontinued product, we endeavour to find a solution, on a best effort basis, to have it back and performing for you.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Darcheâs growth and shortage of experienced canvas converters and local machinists has seen Darche establish reputable offshore assembly and supply chain partners. Operating from four major plants purposely selected and audited by Darche. Machinists, assemblers, finishers, tool makers, and QA/QC supervisors are included in our required workforce of over 180 people over our four plants. It is vitally important to note Darche does not use Trading Houses or vertical arrangements offshore to source products. We at Darche develop all product prototypes in Australia and are involved from concept through to market release. Utilising Charles Parsons accredited laboratories and leading processes, all developments are then vigorously tested at the Thomastown facility and again in real life situations by developers.

Streamliner 1250 Hard Shell - 47" Twin
$7,360.00
Streamliner 1250 Roof Top Tent
At just 5.9" high, Streamliner 1250 is one of the slimmest hard shell tents on the market, making it the perfect complement to any vehicle where overall height is a concern. High-quality gas struts make your camp setup a quick procedure, while the integrated storage and LED lighting make it comfortable. Comfortable yet compact, the Streamliner 1250 Roof Top Tent is the Ridgeback’s smaller sibling. Featuring the same tough aluminium design and build, but with a much lighter weight and low profile, the Streamliner is arguably the best of both worlds.
Featuring the same design and build quality as the other Ridgeback tents, the streamliner packs down to a slimmer height, 34% lower than Ridgeback HighRize roof top tents and half the height of most soft-shell folding tents.
Inside you’ll find walls made from Darche's tough and lightweight 280gsm ripstop canvas and a comfortable memory foam mattress with included anti-condensation mat. There's even room for your Cold Mountain 1100 sleeping bag when the tent is closed! Additionally, there's a built-in LED light that can be switched between white and orange and dimmed to suit the mood. With multiple ventilation points and 3 access doors, the Streamliner can be adapted to almost any vehicle or trailer configuration.
Getting in and out is a breeze with the easily attached telescopic ladder, and the removable fly helps keep the weather at bay as you’re getting in or out of the tent. The included storage bags slide on just outside the entrance, meaning your shoes won’t be wet and soggy or on the ground when you need to head outside, and your tent stays nice and tidy. You'll also be able to keep your personal effects organized thanks to the included storage netting panel.
Accessories can be mounted via the channels on all sides of the tent, including Darche's own awning brackets, to a maximum of 75lbs. Need to carry a kayak? Add roof rails and expand your options!
Make sure to check the weight rating and suitability of your roof rack and vehicle with appropriate manufacturers prior to purchase. We recommend professional installation through your local 4WD centre or Darche retailer.
