With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Designed for use in the most demanding of conditions, the Macpac Plateau is a bombproof 2 person mountain tent that will withstand almost anything mother nature can throw at it.
The Plateau tent is built around a geodesic structure. Five poles and nine pole intersections distribute the forces of nature through the structure, giving the tent stability in high winds and strength under heavy snow loads. The fly is constructed with UV30™ PU, our premium fly material designed for continued strength under prolonged UV exposure. The floor is built with our legendary Torrentwear™ XP tub design for maximum waterproofness and durability. Wind and snow often make life in the mountains hard work. That's why we added two roomy vestibules, equipped with storm flaps, giving sheltered entry, cooking and gear storage. Because ventilation is important, we created a unique vent system that encourages airflow, managing condensation without compromising insulation. All this makes life easier. A smaller version of the three-person Aspiring tent, the Plateau is designed to support two people in alpine or polar conditions, through all four seasons.
UV30™ PU Fly Fabric:
UV30™ PU is a 30-denier double ripstop nylon 66 fabric with a high thread count. It is waterproofed with multiple coats of silicone elastomer on the outside while the inside is PU (polyurethane) coated. The combination of a high thread count, and ripstop construction gives UV30™ PU a higher tear strength than most other PU coated fabrics. As a result of the silicone elastomer coating, UV30™ PU fabric also maintains its strength when exposed to UV radiation over long periods of time.

DAC Featherlite NSL™ Poles:
Constant research and testing makes DAC Featherlite poles among the best-balanced tent poles on the market. Featherlite NSL™ is the latest development of tent pole from DAC. The design allows a continuous thin wall build with expanded ends. This allows the poles to be lightweight and strong.
Featherlite NSL uses Green Anodizing™ processing which minimises the toxic chemicals used during the coating process. Macpac uses DAC Featherlite NSL™ 9.0 mm and the 9.6 mm poles according to the specific requirement of each tent.
