GEAR ROCK ® Kootenay X-Large hard shell roof tent

GEAR ROCK ® - The new hard shell roof tent brand for all wilderness adventurers. Robust design meets maximum functionality for self-sufficient travel. Developed from practice, our demands flow into every detail. Overlanding in harsh conditions and all weather conditions. Equipped with a full range of accessories, handling is quick and easy. GEAR ROCK is a brand of Canada Gear in collaboration with partners in North America.

The GEAR ROCK ®  Kootenay X-Large is a 2-3 person hard shell roof tent with a parallel opening upper shell. The strong gas pressure springs enable assembly in just 30 seconds and are also so stabilizing that no lever locking is necessary.

The tent fabric is made of a cotton/polyester blend (280g/m²), which is ripstop reinforced and is therefore particularly tear-resistant. On the inside it is also PU-coated to prevent the transfer of moisture (protection against mold formation)

A surrounding, external Aluminum frame in the underbody also ensures special stability of the lower shell in connection with the vehicle. To strengthen the robustness of the upper shell, an aluminum cross rail runs in the middle directly under the shell to provide extra protection for the X-Large size. Strong materials and the lightweight design of the shells (fiberglass reinforced ABS) combine in a total weight of 72kg.

For perfect adaptation to any weather conditions, all entrance openings can be set up using tension rods. It has two side entrances and one at the rear. The telescopic ladder can be extended to 2.30 m.

Equipped with 2 removable shoebags, these can be placed anywhere, depending on where you choose to enter. The protected upper part prevents water from entering and therefore offers the use in any weather.

Inside, the GEAR ROCK ® Kootenay X-Large is equipped with a 6cm thick foam mattress, protected in a water-repellent (underside) and supple (velour) protective cover. The standard includes also a 10mm thick 3D mesh fabric as a mattress base.

For further Accessories include 2 large inner pockets that offer space for a laptop, power bank, etc. offer. Also included in delivery is a removable LED light, a large storage net under the upper shell, as well as a bag for the ladder that can be attached to the tent.

A highlight of the Kootenay X-Large's features is the 300g down duvet with water-repellent cover. With a size of 180 x 210cm, it can be used in the roof tent or outdoors.

If you want to have a complete 360° view, the entire tent body can easily be unzipped. There is no better view than this!

The scope of delivery also includes a thermal inlay, which can be attached to the tent if required. This makes the Kootenay X-Large can also be used without restrictions during the fourth season.

Optionally, you can equip the Kootenay X-Large with a 2000 x 2500mm awning. This is attached to a protected, extra zipper strip under the upper shell zipped. This gives you extra installation height, especially with low vehicles, because the awning gains a whole meter in height when the upper shell is opened. It can optionally can be installed on both long sides, which offers enormous advantages when selecting a location.
