Outwell 2026 New Products: Complete Guide to Tents, Awnings and Furniture

Outwell has released its 2026 collection with 51 new products spanning family tents, vehicle awnings and camping furniture. The Danish brand continues its focus on polycotton fabrics, air tube technology and practical features designed for family camping. Products are available for pre-order now with expected delivery from 2nd March 2026.

This guide covers every new product in the 2026 range with full specifications, technology explanations and direct comparisons to help you choose the right gear for your camping setup.

Outwell Technology Guide for 2026

Before examining individual products, understanding the key technologies Outwell uses across its 2026 range helps when comparing specifications and making purchasing decisions.

Outtex AirTech is Outwell's polycotton blend fabric comprising 65% polyester and 35% cotton. The fabric receives a durable water repellent treatment that causes rain to bead and roll off the surface. The dense weave combined with the natural swelling of cotton fibres when wet creates high water resistance while still allowing water vapour to escape from inside the tent. This breathability reduces condensation compared to pure polyester fabrics and helps regulate internal temperature. Polycotton is quieter in wind than pure polyester and provides better UV resistance. The Virginia 5 Air TC has been tested to withstand wind speeds up to 102 km/h.

New for 2026, the Outwell Light System replaces the previous battery-powered ONS (Outwell Nightlight System). OLS features a 5mm COB LED light strip built into the HookTrack system. A soft-touch backlit switch provides three dimmable settings at 100%, 50% and 5% brightness. The system is powered by any USB-C power source rather than the dedicated battery packs required by the older ONS system. This patent-pending technology is integrated into the 2026 Boston, Sacramento and Iowa Air TC tents. The switch is discreetly positioned for easy use in both air and poled tents.

The OneAir System allows entire tents to be inflated from a single valve rather than requiring each air tube to be inflated separately. Maximum operating pressure is 9 psi (0.6 bar). All 2026 Air TC tents use PVC-free DuraAir tubes for the frame structure. An apex cross-tube between the front and middle tubes provides additional stability. The system significantly reduces pitch times compared to multi-valve designs.

This patented door system uses magnetic closures rather than zips for silent entry and exit between tent zones. Doors roll to the side and toggle back when fully open. Standard zips are included for secure closure when needed. The system appears on bedroom doors and main access points across the Air TC range, allowing family members to move around at night without disturbing others.

Ambassador bedrooms feature 230cm depth for generous floor space and full standing height. Mains cable entry points are built into these bedroom areas. Dark roof and wall panels combined with mesh vent curtains reduce light intrusion and improve sleep quality. The bedrooms use breathable polycotton inner tent fabric matching the flysheet composition.

An internal rail system that runs along tent ceilings for hanging lights, accessories and items up to 1.5kg. In 2026 tents, the HookTrack also integrates the OLS lighting strip. The system allows versatile positioning of accessories throughout the living space.

PowerAir is the branding for Outwell's new 2026 drive-away awning range. These awnings feature pre-shaped air tubes inflated and deflated separately via external valves. An apex tube attaches manually for enhanced stability. The aerodynamic design allows awnings to withstand wind gusts up to 88 km/h. All PowerAir awnings can remain freestanding when disconnected from the vehicle.

This attachment system allows awnings to be connected and disconnected from vehicles without using separate connection kits. The system uses a zip-lock mechanism for easy detachment and reattachment. An Awning Sealing System creates a weatherproof seal between the vehicle body and the access zone. Dual beading (5mm and 7mm) fits all motorhome awning rails.

Outwell uses different Outtex fabric grades across its range. Outtex 4000 Select is a hard-wearing 100% polyester with 4000mm hydrostatic head, fire retardant certification and PU coating. Outtex 6000 Express RS polyester provides 6000mm hydrostatic head with UPF 30+ sun protection and taped seams for the premium PowerAir awning range.

New Polycotton Poled Tents

Outwell has added three new polycotton tents with traditional steel pole frames to the 2026 collection. These tents use Outtex AirTech fabric throughout and are positioned as alternatives to the air tube models for campers who prefer conventional pole pitching or want the weight distributed across separate bags.

Birdland 4 TC

The Birdland 4 TC (Art.No. 111524) is the entry point to the new polycotton poled range. At 29kg total weight split across two bags (flysheet 19.5kg, poles 9.5kg), the weight distribution makes it easier to handle than a single heavy bag. The 4-person capacity suits couples or small families wanting the climate benefits of polycotton fabric without air tube technology. The flysheet packs to 78 x 39 x 32cm with poles at 77 x 34 x 12cm. The Outtex AirTech 65/35 polycotton blend provides temperature regulation in varying conditions.

Edmonds 6 TC

The Edmonds 6 TC (Art.No. 111526) is the largest poled TC tent in the 2026 range, accommodating six people. Total weight is 35.12kg split between the 23kg flysheet and 12.1kg poles. The flysheet packs to 82 x 45 x 49cm with poles at 77 x 36 x 14cm. This model sits at the top of the poled polycotton range and provides an alternative to the Boston 6 Air TC for those preferring traditional pole construction.

New Air Tents

The 2026 Air tent collection brings four new inflatable tents using polyester fabric and the OneAir single-valve inflation system. All models in this range feature the new OLS integrated lighting, PVC-free DuraAir air tubes, and pre-shaped Gothic-style air tubes for enhanced headroom and interior space. These are standard polyester Air tents rather than polycotton TC models.

Sacramento 4 Air and Sacramento 6 Air

The Sacramento range offers the most accessible entry into the 2026 Air tent collection. The Sacramento 4 Air (Art.No. 111534) weighs 24.9kg and packs to 92 x 41 x 35cm, making it the lightest and most compact of the new Air tents. The 3-room tunnel layout provides 2 bedrooms and 1 living room. The Sacramento 6 Air (Art.No. 111577) adds capacity for two more people with a 4-room layout at 29.9kg. Pack size increases to 102 x 39 x 47cm. Both models feature pre-shaped air tubes for improved headroom, OneAir single-valve inflation, and the integrated OLS lighting system.

Iowa 5 Air and Iowa 6 Air

The Iowa range sits in the mid-tier of the 2026 Air tent collection with 4-room layouts in both sizes. The Iowa 5 Air (Art.No. 111540) at 30kg provides a 4-room tunnel configuration sleeping 5 people. Pack size is 91 x 49 x 42cm. The Iowa 6 Air (Art.No. 111541) at 34kg sleeps 6 people with the same room count but larger dimensions. Pack size is 105 x 38 x 48cm. Both models include UV protection, the integrated OLS lighting system, and panoramic views through large windows.

Air Tent Comparison: Sacramento vs Iowa

For buyers choosing between the two new Air ranges, understanding the differences helps match the tent to your requirements.

New Nexion Pop-Up Tents

One of the most exciting additions to the 2026 range is the Nexion series of pop-up tents. These tents pitch in under a minute by simply removing them from the carry bag and letting the pre-attached frame spring into shape. The Nexion range brings Outwell build quality to the instant-pitch category, making them ideal for festivals, weekend breaks and first-time campers who want quick setup without compromising on features.

Both Nexion models use Outtex 3000 Select polyester with a 3000mm hydrostatic head rating and PFAS-free water repellent treatment. The Dark Inner bedroom blocks early morning light for better sleep quality. A fully sealed groundsheet prevents draughts and keeps insects out, while rear ventilation reduces condensation and maintains airflow. A dedicated storage zone keeps gear organised and out of the sleeping area. Mesh pockets inside the tent store small items within easy reach. The Nexion 2 Ocean at 4.4kg suits couples or solo campers, while the Nexion 3 Ocean at 5.5kg provides extra space for a small family or two people who want more room.

New Shelters

Outwell has expanded its shelter range for 2026 with five new models. These products serve as additional living space, sun shelters or storage areas rather than sleeping accommodation.

The Dakota M (Art.No. 111545) is the lightest shelter in the 2026 range at 7.2kg. Its compact 68 x 18 x 18cm pack size makes it the most portable option for day trips or as an addition to a main tent. The steel pole design uses traditional pitching. UV protection is built into the fabric.

The Wakefield shelters come in three sizes for different space requirements. The Wakefield M (Art.No. 111552) at 17.7kg packs to 75 x 30 x 22cm. The Wakefield L (Art.No. 111580) at 19.1kg packs to 94 x 30 x 23cm. The Wakefield XL (Art.No. 111585) at 20.9kg packs to 84 x 30 x 20cm. All use steel pole construction with lightweight UV-protected fabric. These shelters suit camping events, garden parties or extended living space at campsites.

The Vail Air (Art.No. 111551) is the only inflatable shelter in the 2026 range. At 11.1kg with a 75 x 26 x 26cm pack size, it offers air tube convenience without the weight of larger air tents. Quick pitching via air tubes makes it suitable for those wanting fast setup times. Generous headroom and versatile ventilation options are built into the design.

New Tailgate Awnings

Three new tailgate awnings join the 2026 collection, designed specifically for SUVs and vans. These compact awnings attach to vehicle tailgates to create covered outdoor space with minimal setup time.

The Sand Van (Art.No. 111557) is the most compact and lightweight tailgate option at 4.5kg. Pack size of 64 x 21 x 19cm makes it easy to store in a van when not in use. Good headroom and smart details make it suitable for everyday adventures and spontaneous stops. The lightweight design provides basic rear shelter without significant weight penalty.

The Dune SUV (Art.No. 111555) is designed specifically for SUV tailgates rather than van rear doors. At 7.6kg with a 64 x 28 x 25cm pack size, it provides more covered area than the Sand Van while remaining portable. The design accounts for the different tailgate geometry of SUVs compared to panel vans.

The Desert Van (Art.No. 111556) is the largest tailgate awning at 10.1kg with a 67 x 29 x 29cm pack size. The additional size and weight provides more covered space with good ventilation and easy access. Quick setup makes it ideal for comfort on the go.

New Drive-Away Air Awnings

The 2026 collection introduces the PowerAir range of drive-away awnings alongside updated versions of existing models. All feature air tube construction for quick pitching and the ability to remain freestanding when disconnected from the vehicle.

The Armona (Art.No. 111560) is a poled drive-away awning designed for parallel mounting to optimise campsite space. At 15.4kg with a 68 x 34 x 25cm pack size, it uses Duratec fibreglass poles rather than air tubes. The Outtex 4000 Select fabric provides 4000mm hydrostatic head waterproofing. Parallel mounting means the awning sits alongside the vehicle rather than projecting outward.

The Santa Monica Air (Art.No. 111558) comes in a single version suitable for both mid and tall vehicle heights. Weighing 14.9kg with air tube construction and an 81 x 29 x 31cm pack size, it balances portability with quick pitching. The 4000mm hydrostatic head provides reliable weather protection.

The Wolfburg Air (Art.No. 111559) is designed as a freestanding awning that operates independently of the vehicle. At 21.8kg with a 93 x 38 x 38cm pack size, it provides substantial living space. All walls can be opened and the entrance unzips for easy detachment and reattachment. The 4000mm hydrostatic head fabric ensures weather protection when freestanding.

The PowerAir range represents Outwell's new premium drive-away collection for 2026 with Outtex 6000 Express RS fabric providing 6000mm hydrostatic head and UPF 30+ sun protection.

The Park PowerAir (Art.No. 111564) at 18.8kg and 83 x 35 x 31cm pack size is the entry point to the PowerAir range. It features the integrated OLS lighting system compatibility, Drive Away Ready technology, and Awning Sealing System. The zip configuration allows the front wall to open at the top for extra ventilation with or without the mesh screen. Two extra-large side doors have insect-proof mesh screen backing.

The Cross PowerAir (Art.No. 111561) at 21.7kg provides space for 2-3 persons with the highest waterproofing specification in the range. Pack size is 87 x 30 x 39cm. Pre-shaped air tubes provide generous headroom and floor space. The aerodynamic design can withstand wind gusts up to 88 km/h.

The Jones M PowerAir (Art.No. 111566) at 23.8kg suits mid-height vehicles with an 84 x 30 x 30cm pack size. The Jones L PowerAir (Art.No. 111567) at 27.3kg is the largest option with an 87 x 38 x 38cm pack size. Both Jones models include spacious living areas with large tinted windows, heavy-duty Outwell zips, and the full PowerAir feature set.

Drive-Away Awning Attachment Heights

Vehicle awning compatibility depends on your vehicle's rail height. The 2026 PowerAir range uses dual beading (5mm and 7mm) to fit all standard motorhome awning rails.

New Awning Accessories

Five new accessories support the 2026 vehicle awning range, from connection panels to additional sleeping space.

The Mid/Tall Connection panels (Art.No. 111563 and 111565) allow PowerAir awnings to connect to vehicles of different heights using a zip-lock system for easy fitting and removal. The Fallcrest Side Panel Set (Art.No. 111568) at 1.1kg adds shade, privacy and flexible setup options with UV protection. The Fielder Canopy (Art.No. 111571) at 2.6kg provides adjustable shade with UPF 30+ protection. The Hillcrest Tarp (Art.No. 111572) at 2.1kg works as a standalone shade or weather cover.

The Sleep Annexe Cross PowerAir (Art.No. 111562) at 6.7kg adds sleeping accommodation for up to 4 people to the Cross PowerAir awning. It zips directly onto the main awning and features a dark inner for improved sleep quality. A waterproof groundsheet is integrated. Pack size is 72 x 16 x 29cm.

The Sideroads Awning Room (Art.No. 111573) at 7.7kg creates a spacious annexe for 2 people with UV protection. Designed for taller vehicles, it features easy setup and packs to 72 x 26 x 26cm.

New Camping Chairs

The 2026 furniture collection includes 13 new camping chairs spanning beach-style low seaters to ergonomic recliners with multiple adjustment positions. Outwell chairs typically support 150kg maximum load, with premium models supporting up to 200kg.

Three new chairs feature Outwell's Duraflexi breathable fabric designed for warm weather comfort. The Breaker (Art.No. 470489) at 4.7kg is a low seater designed for beach use with adjustable comfort settings, built-in cup holder and stability on soft surfaces. The Ripple (Art.No. 470490) at 4.4kg is a lightweight portable design with comfy armrests and cup holder, packing to 19 x 16 x 97cm.

All three use lightweight aluminium frames and pack compactly for transport.

The Campo Recliner (Art.No. 470493) at 6.1kg builds on the popular Campo design by adding adjustable reclining positions to the original's foam-padded armrests and detachable cup holder. Large flat feet provide stability on grass and uneven ground. The powder-coated steel frame supports the standard 150kg maximum load. Pack size is 29 x 22 x 90cm.

Different camping activities suit different chair styles. This comparison helps match the right 2026 chair to your primary use.

New Camping Furniture and Storage

Beyond chairs, the 2026 collection adds practical storage and organisation solutions designed for tent and van camping.

The NomadNest (Art.No. 470495 Misty Grey, 470496 Navy Night) at 2.6kg provides organised hanging storage inside tents or awnings. Multiple pockets and compartments keep camping essentials accessible and off the ground. The 54 x 62 x 10cm pack size stores flat when not in use. Two colour options complement different tent interiors.

The Van FlexDeck (Art.No. 531193) at 2.2kg is designed specifically for van interiors, creating a stable platform surface. Dimensions of 70 x 36.6 x 4cm fit standard van floor spaces. The lightweight construction makes it easy to reposition as needed for sleeping arrangements or storage organisation.

The Maroma Transporter (Art.No. 470492) at 8.4kg is a multi-purpose storage and transport solution. The sturdy construction handles camping equipment while pack size of 50 x 21 x 74cm keeps it manageable for vehicle storage.

Buying Considerations

Before ordering from the 2026 range, these practical points affect real-world use.

Polycotton tents and awnings require proper drying before storage to prevent mould growth. This adds time to your pack-down routine compared to pure polyester fabrics. After rain or condensation, allow the fabric to dry completely before packing. Outwell recommends products for camping use of 2-5 weeks per year rather than permanent pitching. UV radiation near water or at altitude accelerates fabric degradation.

The heavier weights of TC products affect both fuel consumption and what else you can transport. The Boston 6 Air TC at 41.8kg approaches the comfortable lifting limit for many people. Consider whether you can physically manage the weight, particularly if camping solo. Two-bag designs like the poled TC tents distribute weight across smaller packages.

The new OLS lighting system requires a USB-C power source. This offers more flexibility than the previous dedicated battery system but means carrying a power bank or having access to mains hookup. Plan your power sources before relying on OLS lighting.

All 2026 products are available for pre-order with expected stock arrival from 2nd March 2026. Pre-ordering secures your place in the delivery queue for the camping season.
