Tent

Two years ago, Thule surprised the world with a hitch-mountable tent it called the Outset. It's designed to combine the comfort and integration of a rooftop tent with the access and detachability of a simple ground tent. Now it's coming to the USA.

While there are now a ton of hammock tents to choose from, most of them take the form of not much more than a covered hammock. The HoverTent is actually a full flat-bottomed hanging tent, plus it can serve as just a hammock or just a ground tent.

The new Wild Land Sky Rover rooftop tent aims to bring a little more RV comfort to the car top. In fact, it boasts a few features some small camper vans and trailers don't, including an automated pop-up system and even a toilet ... kind of.

The new Gazelle T4 Overland EXP tent serves as a simple, all seasons-ready camping solution. It sets up in minutes via a fast-pitch hub frame and includes enhanced adjustability, multiple climate control options, and a stabilized foundation.

Zpacks offers one of the world's lightest lineups of backpacking tents. Its new Duplex Pro combines that same ultralight construction with a comfortable build that adapts to each backcountry explorer to offer more personalized performance per pound.

The new Anymaka Hammock Tent drops out of the trees and brings its portable folding stand. Use it on the beach, open lawns, tundra, desert and anywhere else you can't find a single tree, let alone a perfectly spaced pair.

Snow Peak is among the first names that come to mind when we hear "glamping." Its new Land Nest reinforces the point, debuting as an expansive multi-room tent for cushy out/indoor living. It isn't cheap but is more affordable than similar Snow Peaks.

Perhaps the best part of spending a night outdoors in a tent is enjoying a clear view of the stars. Sky View Tents looks to optimize the experience with a new style of high-visibility tent with unique interior rainfly.

Kammok offers what might just be the quickest, most convenient vehicle-mounted awning on the market. Now, it's expanding the design with a fast-pitching no-see-um mesh bug room that installs like a bedsheet.

The new Hyperlite Bug Bivy is about as light as a full-body outdoor shelter gets, packing down to water bottle size on long journeys. At camp, it provides full protection from the biting bugs that would otherwise make the entire trip miserable.

Jeep hits the ground of Overland Expo West hard this year with an all-new concept it calls the Awning and Rooftop Tent (ARTT) concept, a go-anywhere Wrangler pop-top micro-camper straight from the off-road gurus at Jeep's own performance parts arm.

We're starting to see a new tier of rooftop tents that are more like self-contained tiny campers. The Oztent Apex RT-P-1600 tent is the latest, boasting motion-activated camp lighting, active cooling and even an RV-style electronic command center.
