EarthShell Bell Tent Protector

Extend the life of your canvas. Stay cooler, drier and better protected — year-round.

Your canvas tent takes a beating from the Australian outdoors. Sun, rain, tree sap, bird droppings and leaf litter can all take their toll over time.

The Karma EarthShell adds a protective outer layer to help shield your canvas from the elements, while also reducing heat and light inside the tent. Less wear on your canvas, less cleaning and reproofing, and more time enjoying your camp.

Now available for double-door bell tents too.

Premium Technical Fabric

The upgraded EarthShell is made from our 420D ripstop fabric — lightweight, tough and designed for demanding Australian conditions.

We’ve built it to be one of the toughest tent protectors on the Australian market, without compromising on looks. Its natural finish complements your Karma Canvas tent rather than competing with it.

• Tough 420D ripstop construction
• Helps reflect heat and reduce internal light
• Designed for harsh Australian conditions
• Compatible with most brands of bell tent
• Treated to be extra mould-resistant

Two Colours. Two Ways to Camp.

Choose the EarthShell that suits how you camp.

Dune — our original light sand colour. Blends naturally with our canvas and allows more natural light into the tent while still providing protection from the elements.

Ironbark — our warm mocha brown, inspired by the earthy tones of the Australian landscape. It pairs beautifully with the natural beige of your canvas tent, creating a complementary, understated look while providing extra shade and a cooler, darker interior.

Why Use a Tent Protector?

Canvas is tough, but constant exposure to UV, moisture and organic debris can accelerate wear over time.

EarthShell acts as a first line of defence, helping protect your canvas from UV, rain, dirt, bird droppings, tree sap and leaf litter.

It can also help moderate the temperature inside your tent — reducing heat and glare in summer while adding an extra layer of insulation in cooler conditions.
