Hard Shell Roof Top Tents

The body of the Freespirit Odyssey is made with an Aluminum Honeycomb Plate and a unique three-layer fabric that will keep you comfortable no matter the weather. It works as an air conditioner in the summer and a heater in the winter.

The Odyssey hard shell tent has the option to install crossbars on the top of its roof, giving you the ability to carry additional items such as kayaks, storage boxes, solar panels, and so on. You won't have any trouble mounting gear weighing up to 250 pounds.

Freespirit Odyssey is available in 2 person and 3 person sizes. Both sizes come with a 1.5" high-density foam mattress and 1.2" EPE flooring. The mattress is excellent and comfortable, but for the price you pay, we think it could be a little bit thicker.

Insect screens are built into all of the windows. This keeps mosquitoes out at night and lets more air into the tent, even when it's raining. Also included is a thin light strip that can be powered by a USB type-A port so that you can easily light up the tent at night.

The outer body of Roam rambler is made using 280g ripstop poly/cotton 100% waterproof fabric that is UV and mold resistant. Whereas the interior fabric is constructed using Quilted polyester taffeta -- this material adds a true sense of luxury and comfort to the Rambler hard shell roof top tent.

The hard shell of Roam Rambler is made using custom-molded fiberglass reinforced with aluminum strands. This material is tough as nails and allows Rambler to keep you safe in all weather conditions.

Weighing as low as 130 lbs, Roam Rambler is spacious enough to sleep two people. It includes a premium 2.75" inch high-density foam mattress that makes your night's sleep in the woods feel like a 5-star hotel.

The Rambler hard shell tent's ceiling and base are insulated to ensure that the tent stays at the perfect temperature all night long. Plus, all the windows include mesh screens to prevent insects and mosquitoes from entering inside at night.

Manufactured with a premium rip-stop waterproof body, not a single drop of water can leak through this tent -- doesn't matter how heavy the rain is. Plus, the frame of Mamba is made using aircraft-grade aluminum to make it highly durable and long-lasting.

Mamba 3 person hard shell roof top tent includes removable crossbars on the roof (You don't have to buy them separately). They have a weight capacity of about 250 lbs, and you can mount anything from kayaks to recovery boards on them.

Weighing at about 250 lbs, Mamba is large enough to sleep two to three people. It features a 2" thick memory foam mattress with an anti-condensation mat underneath to prevent moisture buildup. The mattress itself is comfortable, but we suggest you add a sleeping bag or bedding on top.

The base of Mamba is insulated with a honeycomb to ensure the tent stays at an ideal temperature throughout the night. Plus, there is enough space to store your bedding, pillows, blankets, etc inside the tent when closed.

Like the Freespirit Odyssey, FSR Evolution also features a tri-layer body fabric to keep you warm on cold nights and cool on hot summer days. It's been tested to keep you cozy even in sub-freezing temperatures.

Weighing at about 139 lbs, the frame of Evolution is made using a durable extruded aluminum alloy that can hold up to 750 lbs and keep the tent sturdy even in windy conditions. You can add crossbars on the roof if you want to carry extra gear (It costs about $325).

Available in 2 person and 3 person sizes, the Evolution hard shell roof top tent comes built-in with a 2.5" high-density foam mattress and a 2" EPE foam flooring beneath it. It's super comfortable to sleep in and probably the one tent where we don't ask you to add extra bedding or sleeping bag to make it more comfortable.

All the four windows in Evolution can be zipped entirely open to get an amazing 360-degree view of your campsite. Depending on your camping location, this can truly make your mornings more awesome and let you capture some Instagram-worthy photos.

Designed and manufactured in the United States, BadAss Rugged features an industry-leading 420D nylon oxford waterproof body fabric tested to be durable in all conditions. It doesn't come with a rainfly awning out of the box like most hard shell tents on the list -- but you can add it for an additional $100.

Weighing at about a total of 113 lbs, the frame of BA Rugged is made using ultra-slim extruded aluminum that supports up to 500lbs. Plus, The tent is very low profile with a height of 4.85" when closed -- This makes sure there is no wind noise or drop in your MPG.

BadAss Rugged is spacious enough to sleep two people comfortably. It doesn't include a mattress, but it does come with a thermal regulating 1" sleeping pad to keep you warm and cozy during cold winter nights.

All three windows of the Rugged hard shell roof top tent feature durable, micro-weave black mesh screens to keep the bugs out and provide unobstructed 270-degree views of your surrounding or seal up when you need privacy.

Like other Freespirit tents we saw before, Aspen also features a tri-layer body fabric that is made using 3 Layers of 150D poly-oxford with 90g/m2 poly-fil to keep you cozy in all weather conditions. It also includes a rainfly to prevent leaks during rainfall.

The body of Aspen is constructed from aluminum honeycomb to ensure the tent stays durable and lightweight at the same time. You also have the option to add crossbars on the roof in case you want to carry more gear on your trip.

The Aspen clamshell roof top tent is available in 2 and 3 person sizes and comes with a 1.25" thick high-density foam mattress and a 1.5" thick EPE flooring beneath it. The mattress is pretty good, but some might feel like adding more bedding or a sleeping pad on top of it to make it more comfortable.

Windows on the front and sides are pretty large and include a mesh screen. The entire overhead space features a USB Type-A LED light strip that will provide all the light you need at night. Plus, there are storage pockets on the interior roof where you can store all your essentials.
