Tent

A year ago, we took a look at the Hyperlite Crosspeak 2 tent, an impressive cut of Dyneema that weighed just 2.1 lb but cost more than a dollar per gram. The all-new Crosspeak 1 dips well under 2 lb but still runs higher than a dollar per gram.

Last year, AlphaGo debuted the Cube Air Tent, a larger-than-life inflatable built for four to six people. Now it adds a smaller option – much smaller. The new Cube Solo smooths out the corners into a swag-like semicylinder that pitches in seconds.

Years before we heard the term "glamping," we knew exactly what it was thanks largely to Snow Peak. The Japanese brand continues its legacy of crafting glamping gear with a unique rooftop tent combining an inflatable frame and signature features.

The all-new Mohab Altus is a vehicle rooftop shelter series like nothing we've covered before. Using an electric-lift system, it rises into a boxy, hard-sided cabin that lives atop your vehicle, blurring the line between tent and RV.

When we first caught wind of Thule's new Widesky rooftop tent, we took the model name to imply a large, clear stargazing skylight. Instead, Thule's latest tent encourages panoramic viewing in a different way, one we haven't seen on any other RTT.

The new Karsten ToW marries together an inflatable dome tent and a basic cargo trailer. It's less a caravan and more a literal Tent on Wheels that rides lightly, offers loads of payload, and quickly sets up into a ground tent with elevated bed.

Tree tent innovator Tentsile has developed what might be the world's most singular lineup of hanging tents, but one element holding those tents back: weight. The new Air series looks to solve that with the lightest, breeziest Tentsiles ever.

Inspired Overland has made a name for itself by launching some of the slimmest, lightest rooftop tents out there. Its new Trailpeak tent is still slim and ultralight but lives larger by opening up a cube-like base camp with extra headroom and volume.

Inflate all the things. That seems to be the strategy at Bote, the inflatable watercraft company now launching the Hangout Shade series. The sunshades work on land or pair with Bote's floating swim platforms to sailgate the day away atop the water.

Weighing less than most rooftop tents and taking up far less space than a camper, the Camp Tonneau Tent is always at the ready for truck camping but stows completely out of the way for unencumbered everyday commuting and cargo hauling.

The all-new Backcountry series from Gazelle Tents gets ruggedized with a heavy-duty, 4-season design built to camp comfortably from sweltering desert basins to high-alpine snow drifts ... and all stops in between.

The CanvasCamp Mouflon Tent pulls together a rugged canvas build, instant-pitching integrated hub frame and massive windows on all four sides like no other tent we've seen. It looks perfect for a night in the park or an extended overland expedition.
