Hard shell rooftop tent It’s made from high-strength ABS with a streamlined design that helps with aerodynamics and incorporates some seriously cool utility features. The roof center is designed to fit a standard 100-watt flexible solar panel and even includes attachment points that allow you to mount it quickly. The back is a dedicated spot for putting duffles, bags, boxes, and any other gear you might want to bring with you.
It measures 85” long and 50” wide and is rated to sleep two plus people. I’m 5’9” with relatively broad shoulders and had plenty of room up top with my partner next to me.
With the hardshell rooftop tent, you can put a pair of standard-sized crossbars up to attach bags, carriers, bikes, and even heavy-duty items like surf or paddleboards. I don’t know about you, but I tend to bring A Lot of extra gear and fun stuff with me when I hit the road.
Once you’re ready to set up camp, the tent deploys in under 30 seconds, with the release of four clips and a pair of straps. I was a bit skeptical going in, but you really can just pop the clips and give it a gentle upwards push, then watch as it telescopes out into a ready-to-use tent.
Even better, both the mattress and the 8.5’ ladder stow away inside the tent. That reduces the number of things you have to remember to bring and store inside your vehicle.The mattress itself is made from 3” thick foam rubber and is shockingly comfortable.
All in all, the hard shell rooftop tent is durable, incredibly easy to use, and offers a reasonably priced option for those looking for a highly versatile roof tent that won’t get in the way of your other gear needs. Whether you want to use it for overlanding, camping at trailheads, established or dispersed sites, or just about anywhere else you can park a breeze.
If you’ve got a larger family or are looking to travel with friends, the softshell top tents is the way to go. It’s a soft shell rooftop tent rated to sleep up to four people in comfort.
It folds out from a very compact rectangular package using the included ladder as a lever to pull the top up and over and is mostly ready to go once it’s folded. It takes a time or two to get used to the process but it’s pretty easy to figure out once you’ve had that practice.
You have to manually put in some window bars, but I found that to be pretty easy overall. What helped make it stand out was the relatively thick mattress for a soft shell roof tent and the included extras.
It comes standard with a pair of crossbars that allow you to use the tent without sacrificing storage space. While testing it out I put a pair of bikes, a kayak, and a standard cargo bag on top without any fear of damage or loss.
The included king size mattress is about as big as a roof tent gets before you’re getting into multifold setups and provides ample space for three with just enough for four to squeeze in.
Overall, this is a robustly constructed and cleverly designed tent that manages to maximize the benefits of the softshell market while cutting some of the downsides. If I was looking for a roof tent for a family of four, this is the one I’d go with.
