Poway, CA (October 4, 2021) – Badass Tents® launches its CONVOY™ model Made-in-USA high-performance rooftop tents with classic off-road looks and performance. Discerning outdoor enthusiasts who live the “go big or go home” life will appreciate this next-level tent designed to look like a classic expedition roof rack with features that enhance performance and enjoyment.
Badass Tents is disrupting the rooftop tent industry with 5 new patents filed in 2021 on its revolutionary engineering and designs. Prior to the Badass Tent filings, there were only 11 live patents worldwide in the category. Patents include radical industry-leading features like modular assembly to reduce transport costs, moon roof, streamlined roof rack design that integrates like it’s a part of the vehicle, utility case design and more.
All Badass Tents (also known as BA Tents®) take 1 minute to set up and feature an aerodynamic low-profile design to fit in your garage and have no noticeable wind noise or loss in gas mileage while on the road. They are the lightest, thinnest hard top tents on the market today at 122 lbs. and 5” tall from the top of the vehicle. Using their 56+ years of plastics manufacturing experience, they are manufactured in San Diego, CA with a durable, high-gloss coextruded plastic cover that looks like an OEM paint job mounted on a space age, extruded aluminum frame with no external latches or straps to give this an OEM showroom look and feel.
The Badass Tents’ Convoy RTT includes a full 40”x72” skyward moonroof with 4 large windows that give an unobstructed 360+ degree view. The Convoy’s ultra-slim profile design built using a high-strength extruded aluminum frame will allow most vehicles to pull into residential garages and parking structures without having to remove the rooftop tent.*
Outstanding vehicle integration keeps BA Tent’s RTTs snug to the vehicle for better daily commuter performance and while in route to your off-road adventure. With its lower center of gravity and weight, you’ll never feel it while crawling over rocks and racing across the Baja Desert. The enhanced aesthetic is another Badass bonus that overlanders and campers alike value.
