The BadAss Tents PACKOUT Soft Top Rooftop Tent (Universal Fit) is a 2023 tactical-styled, made-in-the-USA clamshell tent. It is the “lightest and slimmest” soft top rooftop tent, weighing just 100 lbs and standing only 3” tall. With a setup time of just 1 minute, this waterproof 400D ripstop all-season tent (best paired with a warm sleeping bag for under 30°F) has enough room to store your sleeping bags and ladder inside, along with a 1" sleeping pad.
This PACKOUT tent uses a patented modular assembly system, allowing you to save on shipping and labor by assembling it yourself with step-by-step instructions or an online video. Setup time typically takes 4-5 hours for mechanically inclined adventurers with an electric driver on a flat surface. If you’re unsure about assembling it yourself, you can opt for a pre-assembled version.
The tent fits most vehicles with roof racks or crossbars that support over 100 lbs in transit, plus campers when stationary. It includes a sleeping pad, cover, and is backed by a 3-year warranty.

- STANDARD Size: Sleeping area of 45"×78" fits two people under 5’10” without bending knees. Ideal for 2-door Wranglers, Grand Cherokees, Subaru, Rav4, Discovery Sport, and other midsized SUVs or sedans.
