Hard shells are fast but heavy; traditional soft shells are light but slow to set up. The SoftShell gives you both - a gas-strut auto-deploy system that pops your campsite open in under 60 seconds, housed in a lightweight 103 lb package that won't overload your roof rack or kill your fuel economy.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Mount it on virtually any SUV, crossover, or pickup truck with crossbars rated for 165 lbs dynamic load, and transform your vehicle into a ready-to-go basecamp. Whether you're pushing through mountain storms in the Rockies or baking under desert sun in the Mojave, the SoftShell's 300D Oxford fabric with 3,000mm waterproof rating and UPF 50+ UV protection keeps you comfortable in every condition, all year round.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGas-Strut Auto-Deploy (\u0026lt;60 seconds):\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal dual gas struts automatically lift and lock the tent open - no poles, no lifting, no tools required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e81\" x 57\" Open Sleeping Platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comfortably sleeps 2 adults with full interior headroom of 49\" when open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7.5\" Closed Driving Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ultra-slim 19cm closed height reduces wind drag, highway noise, and fits standard parking garages - 50% slimmer than most hard shells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e300D Oxford PU-Coated Fabric - 3,000mm Waterproof:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double the hydrostatic rating of most ground tents; tear-resistant and fast-drying for all-season performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPF 50+ UV Shield:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blocks 98% of UV radiation to keep the interior cooler and prevent fabric fading in prolonged sun exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Alloy Skeleton Frame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rigid, rust-proof frame delivers hard-shell stability at soft-shell weight - no fiberglass flex or wind noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e103 lbs Net Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 40% lighter than comparable hard-shell rooftop tents; compatible with most crossover SUVs and trucks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-Installed High-Density Foam Mattress:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permanently fitted inside the tent floor - open the tent and your bed is already made, no rolling or inflating needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTelescopic Aluminum Ladder Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable for different vehicle heights and terrain angles; hooks securely to the tent frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty PVC Travel Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Road armor that protects the tent fabric from highway bugs, road salts, debris, and rain while driving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2x Exterior Shoe Bags:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hang muddy boots outside the tent and off your clean sleeping surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Season Rated with 1-Year Warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built for year-round use with a 1-year warranty and 30-day guarantee included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips free!

With a pre-installed mattress, included ladder, full mounting hardware, and all-weather PVC cover, everything you need is in the box and ready to go. For overlanders, weekend warriors, and anyone who wants their vehicle to be their base camp, the SoftShell is one of the most capable and practical rooftop tents available at this price point.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOpen Dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e81\" x 57\" x 49\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClosed \/ Driving Dimensions (L x W)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e93.6\" x 62\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClosed Driving Profile Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5\" (19 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e103 lbs (47 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTent Fabric\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300D Oxford PU-Coated Polyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWaterproof Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,000mm hydrostatic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUV Protection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPF 50+ (blocks 98% of UV radiation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-strength aluminum alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTravel Cover Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy-duty PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDeployment System\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual gas struts - automatic lift and lock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDeployment Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnder 60 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMattress\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-density foam, pre-installed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLadder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum telescopic, adjustable height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMinimum Roof Rack \/ Crossbar Dynamic Load Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e165 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVehicle Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMost SUVs, crossovers, and pickup trucks with roof racks or crossbars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSleeps\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 adults\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeasonal Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-season \/ year-round\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-year warranty + 30-day guarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEstimated Lifespan\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-10 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey \/ Orange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly \/ Installation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo special tools required; mounting hardware included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFree US shipping; ships as a packaged unit (no freight pallet indicated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this tent fit my vehicle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe SoftShell is compatible with most SUVs, crossovers, and pickup trucks equipped with roof racks or crossbars.

The 300D Oxford fabric carries a PU 3,000mm hydrostatic waterproof rating, which is double the rating of most traditional ground camping tents.

Standard parking structures typically allow 6'8\" to 7' clearance, and the SoftShell's 7.5-inch closed height adds minimal height to your vehicle compared to hard-shell alternatives that sit 14-18 inches tall.
