The Blade is the Stealth's more compact sibling — same Eezi-Awn hard-shell pedigree, same matte black aluminum shell, but in a front-hinge configuration that suits solo travelers and couples who want the hard-shell experience without the Stealth's larger profile. Two latches, improved gas struts, and the XKLUSIV ladder stores cleanly inside the tent. The Blade also features the K9 Roof Rack System on top, so you're not sacrificing carry capacity for sleeping space.

KEY FEATURES
- Front-Hinge One-Piece Mechanism: The Blade opens from the front, unlike the Stealth's side-opening scissor mechanism. Two revised stainless steel latches and improved gas struts mean one push and the tent is open. Setup takes seconds.
- XKLUSIV Ladder Stores Inside: Unlike the Stealth, where the ladder stores under the tent, the Blade's XKLUSIV ladder stows inside the tent body — keeping it cleaner and more protected and making the underside profile lower.
- K9 Roof Rack on Top: Two crossbars on top of the Blade let you mount Maxtrax, solar panels, kayaks, surfboards, or storage boxes. You don't lose roof space when you gain sleeping space.
- Insulated Roof and Floor: Four-season construction with fully insulated top and bottom panels. The aluminum shell keeps weather out; the insulation keeps temperature in.
- 3.5" Quilted Mattress: Thicker than most hard-shell competitors. The quilted surface stays in place and provides real support — not just a foam pad.
- Double-Entry Privacy Mesh Panels: Full mesh on both entry doors with privacy panels. Bug-proof ventilation without sacrificing modesty.
- Two-Tone Finish: The Blade's distinctive two-tone color sets it visually apart from the Stealth while maintaining the same black aluminum shell construction.
IDEAL FOR
- Solo travelers and couples who want a hard-shell tent with a compact, aerodynamic profile
- Overlanders who need roof carry capacity above the tent and don't want to choose between gear and sleep
- Anyone upgrading from a soft-shell who wants a streamlined, fast-setup tent without the Stealth's larger footprint
- Builds where weight savings and aerodynamics matter — the Blade's low closed height reduces drag meaningfully
