The Evolution of Crua: The Journey of the Tri

2015 – The Beginning of an Idea

The concept for the Crua Tri is born out of a desire to offer a versatile and comfortable shelter for outdoor enthusiasts who want to explore in all seasons. Aiming to combine the durability of a tent with the comfort of a camping pod, the team begins designing the ultimate camping solution.

2016 – The First Prototype

After extensive research and development, the first prototype of the Crua Tri was created. With a strong focus on insulation, wind resistance, and easy setup, it features cutting-edge materials and a unique three-layer system designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions.

2017 – Launch & Reception

The Crua Tri officially launches and is met with rave reviews from outdoor enthusiasts. It quickly gains a reputation for its ability to keep campers warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Its multi-layered design provides superior insulation, while the spacious interior makes it an ideal choice for family or group camping.

2017 –  Performance Enhancements

Based on customer feedback after launch, Crua makes several enhancements to the Tri. The tent is now equipped with reinforced seams for increased durability, colour change to blend more naturally with the environment, upgrade to aluminium poles for lighter weight, rear height is raised for more comfort and additional bug mesh to keep out the unwanted. The design is also tweaked to allow for greater airflow during warmer weather.


2018 – Comfort Meets Convenience

After more fantastic feedback from our community Crua further refines the Tri and introduces a footprint for the porch area and an extendible awning adding to the features of an already solid tent.

2020 – Even More Thermal Comfort

Crua designs a reflective flysheet to further compliment the Tri tent helping to reduce internal temperatures in hot environments. The Tri becomes the ultimate solution for any climate.

2022 – Airflow, Airflow and More Airflow

Crua begins targeting issues with condensation and breathability further refining vent placement. This resulted in improved air circulation combating condensation and improving the users night sleep.


2024 – The Tri Today

The Crua Tri remains a top choice for campers, combining the best of innovation and comfort. As Crua continues to innovate and improve its products, the Tri stands as a symbol of the brand’s commitment to quality, comfort, and sustainability. Whether you’re venturing into the wild or setting up at your favorite campsite, the Tri is there to ensure you have a home away from home.
