Canvas:
The Series III canvas offers greatly improved water proofing ability with the increase from 240gsm (Grams Per Sq. Meter) rip-stop canvas to a heavier 300gsm Poly/Cotton rip-stop canvas with Polyurethane coating. All stitched seams now feature welded seam tape to eliminate seepage through needle punch holes.

Fly Sheet:
The fly sheet fabric has been upgraded from 180D Nylon to 300D Oxford polyester. This coupled with a Polyurethane coating has increased the quality and doubled its water shedding ability. In addition, all toggles have been elasticized to reduce annoying flapping noises when windy.

Mattress:
The mattress has been upgraded from single layer extruded foam to high density bonded chip foam, increasing comfort and durability and reducing the likelihood of collapsing from extended use.

Cover:
The cover has been upgraded from 560gsm (Grams Per Sq. Meter) laminated PVC that had limited UV resistance to a UV stabilized 9000gsm laminated PVC. All seams are now sealed with heat welded seam tape to prevent water ingress.

Previous covers incorporated a self mending spiral zipper, however with rough uses combined with dust ingestion this could be damaged beyond repair. All Series III covers now have a larger, No. 10 Vislon zip for increased durability.

The two cover straps have now been upgraded to three and run perpendicular to the ladder, reducing the chance of cover damage and preventing billowing during travel.

Ladder:
Along with all the other aluminum components, the ladder is also upgraded from raw aluminum (that was prone to oxidization) to a more durable anodized finish.

The locking pins now have a larger rounded head to reduce cover wear and improve handling.
