Written by the company

Crua Outdoors has a simple mission: build the world’s most comfortable, strongest tents, and send them out into the wilderness to give hunters and campers the best night’s sleep they’ve ever had outdoors. The secret? Our patented insulation technology. Head off on a hunting excursion, fishing trip or an outdoor family adventure, and we’ll keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. All year round, it’s a dark, quiet and comfortable tent. Our original was one heck of an over-engineered tough tent, so we built a few more Crua products – a lightweight Crua tent for your backpack, a six-person Crua for your mobile base camp, a three-person Crua for short stays, and a semi-permanent Crua for large groups. Years of fault free service in the most challenging weather conditions. Guaranteed.

Enthusiastic and proud

Really pleased with the tent. There was an initial problem that was resolved quickly with care and understanding.
I would recommend buying outdoor gear from Crua because it's not just about sales, they are enthusiastic and proud of their products and want us to share the same experience.

Hello Robb,

I do see you Preordered the Crua Culla Family. Our apologies for the unforeseen delays. Right now we are seeing longer transit and production times. I don't know if you have received my emails and voicemail with an update. The container was picked up from the port on Friday and now is on its way to our warehouse. As soon as these arrive, we will be working on getting your order to you as soon as possible.

Kind regards,
Tarah

Great Customer Experience

I recently purchased carabiners as I needed them for my hammock set-up. From start to finish I had a great experience. I had some questions regarding suitable for my type of hammock and Tony was very helpful. The delivery was quick too and the product itself is strong and durable. I definitely recommend Crua for your camping needs.

They were interesting to setup but Crua's video made it so much easier and now, I have these two beautiful, comfortable chairs that I love so much. Great quality, and nice to look at too. Thank you!!

They scam you with incomplete and misleadingly described merchandise. If this isn't intentional they need to re examine their product lines and business model

Hello Cody,
We are working on updating our website and in doing so making sure all our products have clear descriptions. I understand the description for the product you purchased was not quite clear and might have been a bit confusing. I know that there was a note on the product, stating this was a stand alone culla. I have asked the design team to make this note a bit more clear and to stand out. Please let us know how we can improve, feedback is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Tarah Schlueter

Incredible service!

The customer service team at Crua is amazing. I was having difficulty finding an item on the website and received a response to my email in less than 24 hours! That's rare no matter what, but these days that's extraordinary. I very much appreciate their commitment to quality in their products AND their people. It shows. Thank you.

About the Crua's customer service...

I bet this story will make you chose Crua's products !!!

Even if the Crua's products are very rugged and solid I had a problem with a hamoc one day : it broke. (The Crua hybrid hamoc).
I mail the customser service and I can tell, that the did the MAXIMUM effort for me.
After i sent them some photos of the problem. They really care about my situation and appear to be very professional with me. They immedialtly decided to send me another product even if I live AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD (french guyana).
Then they took some news from me every weeks to know if I received the package.

I can now enjoy again my hammoc in the Amazonian jungle.

Thank you Crua Outdoors and M.Morearty !

Terrible toxic smell + expensive return policy

I purchased the crua duo + reflective flysheet.

When it arrived I set it up indoors and noticed it had a really nauseating toxic smell unlike any other tent I've owned. I aired it out for 3 days with the window open and the smell was the same.

I contacted crua support with questions and they were very vague and unhelpful, telling me to use the tent outdoors and that the smell would probably lessen overtime.
They also assumed the smell had already lessened by airing it out even though I specifically told them it hadn't.

The toxic smell was so strong that being in the tent at all gave me a headache so no, I wasn't going to actually camp in it like this!

Crua attributed the smell to "mandatory chemicals that need to be used for safety compliance". Funny, I've bought several new tents over the years and none remotely smelled like this.

Crua has a policy that they deduct money from a refund just for having received the tent, but they deduct even more if the tent has been used outdoors. I decided to cut my losses and just return it (return shipping costs are also on the customer).

What I wanted was some kind of assurance but instead they put all the risk on the customer (despite bragging about doing the opposite on their site).

Trusting this company was a pricey mistake. Yes, they refunded me for part of the purchase etc but I was most disappointed about how customer support does little else than point to their policies. It doesn't feel like they care and they certainly weren't thinking along.

At the very least they should put on their site that tents have a strong smell that some people might find offputting - that would have been enough for me to know not to purchase.

Terrible product support

I had an issue with a discontinued product and reached out to their customer support team. After explaining what I was looking for they sold me a product that did not meet any of the requirements that I had specifically spelled out.

Hello Aiden,
At first we did believe the product we sent you would work. After our conversation, we realized it wasn't going to work for your current set up. I was able to find you the correct product, I am showing that was delivered. Feel free to respond to my emails or calls with any questions.

Kind regards,
Tarah

We ordered a tent and fly over 2 months…

We ordered a tent and fly over 2 months ago. When we finally got through
to Crua after one month they said it would be here in October. (When I called customer service the recording says that voicemail hasn’t been set up yet!!) Called a month later and was told we will get it in November. No communication from Crua sending us updates on our purchase or apologizing for the delay via email. The reviews show they have a good product but not sure when you can get the product!

This company is one of the best companies that you could deal with. Every time I called The help wanted if needed they were extremely helpful and got what I needed quickly without a bunch of runaround. I would highly suggest this for your outdoor and camping use.

Crua Clan Maxx: 5 stars

I finally was able to go out with my Crua Clan Maxx with 2 Crua Maxx pods attached. Took me 2 hours to set up solo (learning curve involved). I loved the space and the light and sound damping was so appreciated. So much space and flexibility in the design. Well worth the investment.
