Nesty Roof-Top Tent

Inspired by the iconic VW Westy camper van, the Nesty by Reform Life is an ultra-low profile, premium roof tent that promises to transform any vehicle into a comfortable home on wheels.

The tent has a sturdy aluminum base and is made from breathable poly-cotton ripstop fabric. It weighs 110 lb, can hold up to 660 lb, and it folds into a slim 8″ package (which is said to be 33%-46% slimmer–thus more aerodynamic–than other soft roof tents).

When opened, the Nesty can sleep up to three people on its integrated foam mattress, while a 420 D polyester removable rain fly keeps its occupants dry in case the weather takes a turn. By draping down or rolling up its side rainfly, the tent can adapt depending on the weather.

The Nesty is complete with all the essentials including a ladder, external D-rings for hanging your gear, a skylight panel, mesh windows on every wall, internal storage pockets, and even integrated twinkle lights. For every tent sold, 14 trees will be planted to help reforest the startup’s home state of California.

Preorder from Kickstarter $1,450

Crow’s Nest Extended Rooftop Tent

Designed and rigorously tested in New Zealand, the Crow’s Nest Extended Rooftop Tent by Feldon Shelter is one of the finest, most durable tents money can buy. It can fit on the roofs of small hatchbacks, family cars, and of course 4x4s.

Weighing in at 58 kilos, the portable shelter features a folding base made of aluminum honeycomb cell, which is dent resistant and 3x stronger than regular rooftop tent bases. The tent itself is a 300-gram poly-cotton canvas offering water, mold, and mildew-resistance, while a high-grade 130g mesh offers protection against flying buggers.

Setting the 2-person rooftop tent up is super easy–it just needs to be unfolded. Inside you’ll find a built-in high-density foam queen mattress that tucks your sleeping bag and pillows away inside and can sleep individuals up to 7ft in height.

Other features include a curved roof design that prevents water pooling and improves aerodynamics, high view window design for 360° views, base-mounted shoe & and gadget pockets for storage, heavy duty PVC travel cover with welded triple-layer reinforcement panels, all aluminium internal skeleton, marine grade stainless steel hinges and hardware, adjustable alloy retractable ladder, and more.

Buy From Feldon Shelter $2,800
