How Well Is It Built?
Built with OLTECH REPRO 150D fabric, this awning boasts a 5000mm hydrostatic head, offering excellent waterproofing for heavy downpours. The structure relies on reinforced TPU inflatable beams for a sturdy yet quick-to-pitch frame, while the fully sewn-in groundsheet enhances durability and protection from the elements.
When you're investing in an awning, you want to know it'll stand up to the elements, and the specs here are very reassuring.
Materials and Weatherproofing
The main body is made from OLTECH REPRO 150D material. The 150 denier rating is a great middle-ground, offering good tear resistance without being excessively heavy. The standout feature is the 5000mm hydrostatic head (H/H), a measure of how waterproof it is. For context, anything over 1500mm is considered waterproof, so 5000mm is more than capable of handling prolonged, heavy British rain without any trouble.Frame and Structure
Instead of fiddly poles, this awning uses reinforced TPU inflatable beams. This is the modern standard for a reason – it makes pitching much faster and simpler. The beams are designed to be robust and hold their shape well, even in breezy conditions. A crucial design element is the fully sewn-in groundsheet. This creates a sealed 'tub' effect, which is brilliant for keeping out rainwater, drafts, and any curious campsite critters. It makes the inside feel much more like a proper room.How Does It Perform?
Performance is defined by its quick and easy setup, thanks to the inflatable air beams. Once pitched, it provides a vast, sheltered living space that truly extends the campervan. The driveaway functionality works as intended, allowing you to leave it freestanding while you explore for the day.
An awning's true test is how it performs on site, from the moment you pull it out of the bag to the day you pack it away.
Pitching and Setup
Thanks to the inflatable beams, setting this up should be a straightforward affair. For a unit this size, we'd expect two people to have it pegged out and fully inflated in around 10 to 15 minutes. The process typically involves laying it out, pegging the corners, attaching the pump, and inflating the main beams. The dual 4mm and 6mm awning beading is a thoughtful touch, ensuring it connects easily to most standard and Fiamma-style awning rails without needing extra adaptors.Living Space and Usability
Once up, the space is impressive. At 3.9m by 3.1m, you have enough room for a table, chairs, and storage, creating a proper living or dining room. This is invaluable on rainy days or cooler evenings. The driveaway capability is the key feature. You simply detach the connecting tunnel from your van, roll it up, and you're free to drive off for the day, leaving the awning standing as your reserved pitch marker and base camp. Reconnecting on your return is usually a simple case of driving back into position and re-attaching the tunnel.What Features Stand Out?
Standout features include the rapid-pitch inflatable beam system, a fully sewn-in groundsheet for maximum protection, and an impressive 5000mm hydrostatic head for superior weatherproofing. The dual 4mm and 6mm awning beading also ensures broad compatibility with different campervan rails, which is a key practical benefit.
The OLPRO Loopo Breeze v2 Campervan Awning is packed with features that show a clear focus on the needs of modern campers.
Inflatable Air Frame
The star of the show is the air beam system. This replaces traditional steel or fibreglass poles with inflatable tubes, dramatically cutting down pitching time and reducing the risk of snapping a pole in high winds. It's a feature that makes setting up camp less of a chore and more of a pleasure.Integrated Groundsheet and Weather Protection
The sewn-in groundsheet is a non-negotiable for many experienced campers. It provides a complete seal against the ground, preventing bugs, drafts, and water from getting in. Combined with the high 5000mm H/H waterproof rating of the flysheet, this awning is designed to be a comfortable, dry sanctuary no matter the weather.Versatile Connection
Another clever feature is the inclusion of both 4mm and 6mm awning beading on the connection tunnel. This small detail saves a lot of potential frustration, as it means the awning will slide directly into the C-channel on almost any van or wind-out canopy without you having to buy a separate converter.How Does It Compare to Alternatives?
Against competitors like Vango and Kampa, this awning holds its own with a high 5000mm waterproof rating and a competitive price. While other brands may offer different layouts or materials, its combination of recycled fabric, inflatable beams, and generous size makes it a strong contender in the mid-to-high-end market.
In the world of driveaway awnings, brands like Vango, Kampa, and Outdoor Revolution are the big players. The OLPRO Loopo Breeze v2 positions itself competitively against their mid-range air awnings. Its 5000mm hydrostatic head is on par with, or better than, many alternatives at this price. The use of recycled material (OLTECH REPRO) is a nice differentiator. While the overall design is fairly standard for a tunnel-style air awning, the combination of a high waterproof rating, sewn-in groundsheet, and a sub-£800 price point makes it a very compelling package for those looking for maximum space and features without paying a premium brand tax.
