Roofnest’s massive Condor 2XXL Air is the world’s largest hardshell rooftop tent

With 51 square feet of floor space and 50 inches of headroom, it's like a mobile studio apartment for your rig

Roofnest is upping its game and the size of its rooftop tents with the new, flagship Condor 2XXL Air. It’s the Boulder brand’s largest RTT ever with a whopping 51 square feet of floor space and 50 inches of headroom — enough to sleep four full-size adults and even a couple of pups comfortably. It’s also among the few models available with an optional accessory ladder which allows for two entry/exit points, so you never have to disturb your fellow tentmates while getting up in the morning or for a midnight pee break.

It’s loaded with tons of storage space and standard convenience features, too. There’s a six-pocket gear grid built into the top shell, along with two deeper pockets that provide room for larger items, such as water bottles or portable battery banks. Dual three-pocket storage sets can be attached inside or outside the tent on either side of the door. Roofnest also includes three dimmable LED light strips, as well as HVAC ports in the tent wall for hooking up your favorite portable air conditioner/heater to make this a true four-season basecamp.

Besides taking the crown as the largest hard-shell rooftop tent on the market, Roofnest promises that it’s also one of the most durable and easiest to pitch. It uses a PC-ABS hardshell that’s compounded, not simply laminated, with built-in UV stabilizers, ensuring it won’t peel, bubble, or fade. Every model is also finished with a durable, matte LINE-X coating, the same coating found in truck bed liners. Thanks to a clever, self-deploying rainfly and an inflatable, two-inch-thick mattress, it sets up in less than a minute. Plus, unlike traditional foam mattresses, this alternative is lighter and allows campers to dial in their preferred comfort level.

The Condor 2XXL Air rooftop tent is available directly from Roofnest for $4,395. It ain’t cheap, but we’re hard-pressed to think of a better way to overland for you, your family, and your pups.

I tried the Yozma IN10 Pro electric dirt bike, and it was nothing like riding an e-bike
i tried the yozma in10 pro electric dirt bike and it was nothing like riding an e img 0424

I’ve spent plenty of time riding e-bikes, but I’d never ridden an electric dirt bike before. When I had the opportunity to try the Yozma IN10 Pro, I was curious to see how the two would compare. As it turns out, they’re completely different experiences. The IN10 Pro is fast, surprisingly loud, and considerably more powerful than anything I’d ridden before.

I didn’t push the bike anywhere near its advertised top speed of 50 mph, and I didn’t need to. Even at lower speeds, riding the IN10 Pro was a lot of fun. Between the powerful acceleration, responsive steering, and the way it handled gravel and dirt, there was plenty to enjoy. And despite all that power, the ride was surprisingly comfortable, even over uneven ground. It didn’t take long for me to understand why people love riding dirt bikes.

Arc’teryx x BEAMS: The blend of Alpine tech and Tokyo style
Arc'teryx x Beams

The new Arc’teryx x BEAMS collection celebrates the brands’ 25-year collaboration and the blending of technical function with street-savvy style. The line highlights a re-creation of the 1998 Arc’teryx Theta hardshell, a Gamma softshell jacket, and Jogen bouldering pants. All come in the signature Kōyō color palette, modeled after Japan’s autumn leaves. 

I wore the Gamma Jacket and Jogen pants during the fall changeover in Virginia’s picturesque Shenandoah Valley, testing for warmth, wind resistance, and style. Here’s my take.

More than a name: Meet Eddie Bauer, the true-life explorer behind your outdoor brand
Clothing, Hat, Face

From the time I was a little man, I excitedly tugged at the shirt tails of my father and grandfather every time they left the house to do anything relatively outdoorsy. They would leave the house hauling gun cases, fishing poles, camping gear, hiking packs. The men of my life loved everything adventurous, and they would do it every chance they could. When I was big enough, I would be allowed to come with them. I got my own boots. I procured my own active wear that could resist the weather. I opened my own parka for Christmas. Not only was I now in the same boat with them, in the same tent with them, and in the same deer stand with them. I also wore the same brand as them. Eddie Bauer was their go-to, and it had become my go-to.

But what was it about that brand? What was it about the man behind the brand that became the man’s best friend in the wilderness? Well, here is what you need to know about the guy who ditched the work world to open an outdoor brand simply so he could go outdoors all the time. And made it possible for my grandfather, my father, and then me.
