Tents + Sleep Systems

Roof top tents, ground tents, swags, hammocks, sleeping pads and bags — where you sleep decides whether a trip is something you recover from or something you want to repeat.

A roof top tent like ROAM's Vagabond 2.0 gets you off the ground and set up in two minutes, but it costs you roof payload and the freedom to leave camp standing. Ground tents and swags — 23ZERO's Bandit 1400 among them — are cheaper and stay pitched while you drive. Deepsleep builds camping mats cut for specific vehicles, and Kammok and C6 Outdoor cover the hammock end.

Whatever you choose, spend on the pad before the bag. Cold comes up from the ground far more than it comes down from the air.
