There’s no shortage of rooftop tents for your car, but most of them are limited to just two people, maybe three at the most. The iKamper SkyCamp, however, wants to make car camping accessible for the whole family.
When you’re climbing alpine peaks and hauling a bunch of cold weather gear, you want a tent that weighs as little as possible – but still manages to stand up the absolute onslaught that alpine conditions tend to throw your way. Enter the MSR Advance Pro 2.
Sierra Designs bills the Sweet Suite 2 as hitting the sweet spot between livable space and lightweight. It does this by using a unique pre-bent pole geometry, which allows it to have a lot more interior space at much less weight; a solid 29 square feet.
As gear becomes more and more technologically advanced, tents are becoming lighter and lighter. None, however, quite reach the lightweight, durable, simplicity of the Hyperlite Ultamid 2. Weighing only 1.19 pounds (without insert or floor), the Ultamid 2 barely weighs more than the hiking boot on your foot, and far less than a bottle of water in your pack, yet is one of the most durable, rugged and convenient tent designs you’ll get your hands on.
