Custom engineered hard shell
Ultralight honeycomb aircraft aluminium
3000mm waterproof 210T Ripstop oxford fabric with antibacterial silver membrane
2000mm waterproof 280gsm seam sealed poly-cotton canvas
The Armourdillo® ultra-durable aluminium hard shell is robust and aerodynamic and enables you to add roof racks on top for carrying 4x4 equipment, bikes, kayaks, surfboards and more.
The Armourdillo® is the shortest hard shell rooftop tent on the market and comes with a universal mounting system, which means it fits on almost any vehicle. The two-person model is just 1.72m long when closed, while the three-person is 2.1m.
It takes just 1-2 minutes to set up the Armourdillo® as intelligent engineering and internal gas struts do the heavy lifting for you. The tent has external and internal LED strip lights powered by a USB power bank.
Inside the tent, you’ll sleep soundly on a comfortable 50mm high-density foam mattress. The shell has been insulated to help keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. To top it off, we’ve included a skylight for stargazing.
The outer rain cover is made of high-strength ripstop fabric with a 3000mm waterproof rating, and the main tent is made of seam-sealed poly-cotton canvas with a 2000mm waterproof rating.
The Armourdillo® is a revolutionary rooftop tent that’s been years in the making. It’s a game changer for those pack-and-go weekend missions to your favourite camping spots and provides a touch of luxury on those hardcore 4x4 wilderness adventures. Wherever you go, you’re home.
