Heroic Adventures start now

Gone are the days of hectic camp setups. The Tasman tent is set up and packed down in under one minute. This tent thrives in gale winds and strong rain. In summer the "base-to-top" zip hatch and mosquito fly provide privacy, ventilation and bug-free rest.

Named after the great explorer Abel Tasman, this tent is designed and tested for and in New Zealand. The Tasman will handle rugged backcountry 4WDing. Tightly sealing and compressing when closed, providing no fabric friction or internal vibrations. This means no wear while driving so it can be left on the roof all year round. We over-engineered this tent with premium hardware, thoughtful storage solutions and heavy-duty fabrics.

Say goodbye to soft-shell rooftop living

Soft-shell rooftop tents are a thing of the past. Forget noisy flapping fabric with each puff of wind, a long wet setup and pack down, bugs getting in through gaps, cold nights with no insulation or a tent that can't handle strong winds. Our hardshell solves all of these problems.

A Seriously good tent

Fully Welded Aluminium Shell. Our aluminium roof is completely seam-welded tight and will not leak. Most aluminium roof tents have thin folded aluminium with riveted sheets and even plastic-edged corners. Those designs leak water, over time becoming a mould trap that can even leave your bedding wet. 

Modular track system on the roof racks and the base shell. This allows for common T-Bolts (available at hardware stores) of any length to mount lightbars, hooks, tracks, solar panels and any other accessories one might want

Closed Size: 1500 W x 2200 L X 200 H (mm) - excluding racks

Open Size: 1500 W x 2200 L X 1300 H (mm)

Durability is what this tent is built for. Our mig welded aluminium shell will handle bush bashing, sleep thousands of nights and keep you dry amidst storms.

Gas Struts run inside the tent shell. Our struts are fully protected from tree smashing and the elements. Be cautious of designs with external struts.

Ripstop 330GSM Canvas Cotton in 600Denier Oxford Polyester fabric. Our woven fabric is waterproof, durable and sewn with heavy-duty doubled stitching and seam-sealed (PU 2000mm coated) to keep out water. Our zips are all genuine YKK zips.

Aerodynamic clam-shell sound-dampening design. Just point your truck into the wind and you'll have a warm flappy-free sleep.

Honeycomb-reinforced double-layered aluminium base. Our super-reinforced 6cm base is a lightweight solution that gives the base superior strength over traditional aluminium sheets & checkered plates

Marine Grade 304 & 316 Stainless Steel and aluminium are used throughout the tent in the hardware, bolts & screws. This provides the most rust-free and corrosion-resistant tent on the market. 304 will show some small surface rust but is needed for strength on some hardware parts.

The mattress is a high-density 50mm mattress. This is highly elastic and comfortable for adults on long journeys

Our Warranties are No Nonsense Warranties. We will warranty you for all genuine product issues. All your orders are saved for life and we can find your purchase and warranty just from your name or email used when purchased.

Recovery ropes: 24 Month Warranty | If you snap it within this period without obvious signs of damage we will replace it. 

Roof Top Tents: 24 Month Warranty | This covers the shell, roof racks, struts and hardware. If the aluminium shell cracks or a weld opens we can have that repaired if it wasn't the users fault (eg ran into a tree). This warranty excludes fabric, zips and mould. Shells are made from aluminium and the hardware is 316SS or 304SS. 304SS can shows some signs of cosmetic surface rust. Please secure your roof tents to three roof racks bars (which mean six attachment points) or a solid rack system. This will avoid a common failure when NZ roof racks come off vehicles.

Winch lines + UHMWPE lines: 6 Month Warranty | If you ever snap your rope where possible we will fix it for you free of charge. If you snap a winch line without obvious signs of overloading or damage we will replace it or fix it free of charge within 6-months of purchase. Due to the unpredictable usage of these ropes our warranty on them is limited. Take care of your winch lines and they will take care of you.

Soft-Shackles: 24 Month Warranty | Soft-Shackles are virtually never returned unless they are improperly connected to sharp edges which will caused them to tear. If used as we recommend they don't fail. We will replace shackles that fail under normal circumstances.

Turbos: 12 Month Warranty | This warranty covers all manufacturing defeats and internal faults within that warranty period. It does not include damage due to oil/cooling issues and excessive abuse. Generally issues with turbo arise from improper installation and incorrect oil lines (not large enough to give sufficient flow).
