One of the lightest insulated hard shell tents in the world — with no compromise on quality.
At just over 60kg (including mattress and ladder), the Aero Gen 2 has been designed with smaller 4WDs and even some cars in mind — or simply for those wanting to reduce roof weight without giving up performance.
This is a premium tent from a world-class South African manufacturer, built to deliver serious durability, genuine insulation, and long-term comfort — far beyond what’s typical in generic, rebranded roof tents sold in NZ.
Key Features:
✅ Premium South African Woven Canvas (300gsm)
Tougher, more breathable and longer lasting than the polyester or lower grades of canvas typically used in most tents sold in NZ.
✅ All-Alloy, Fully Welded Construction
No plastic corners. Built for strength, longevity, and real off-road use.
✅ Twin Insulated Shells
Both upper and lower shells are insulated with 12mm closed-cell foam. The base shell is also carpeted — a big step up from typical roof tents that use anti-condensation mats to mask poor insulation.
✅ Superior Mattress Comfort
50mm mattress sits over a foam insulated and carpeted floor.
✅ Aluminised Technical Canvas Fly
Made from the same proven, heat-reflecting canvas used in Quick Pitch’s market-leading awnings. This fabric outperforms standard polyester flys by a long shot.
✅ Compact, Lighter Footprint
Smaller than the full-size Quick Pitch tent, making it ideal for lighter-duty vehicles or builds that prioritise lower roof weight.
✅ Heater Duct Inlets (Both Sides)
Purpose-built ports for ducted heat — see video for details.
✅ Wired for Adventure
Dual colour LED lighting (white/amber), USB + 12V charging points — all pre-installed and powered via an Anderson plug under the base.
✅ Luxury Ladder
Angled, extra-wide rungs for barefoot comfort.
✅ Integrated Roof Rails
Mount additional gear or solar panels with ease.
✅ Low Profile, High Functionality
Slimline profile when closed — but still stores bedding and ladder inside for quick setup and pack-down.
✅ New Large Canvas Shoe Bag Included
