Vision

Description

The James Baroud Horizon Vision is one of the most advanced rooftop tents on the market. Even from a distance it is noticeably different with its rounded shape, aluminized-polyester fabric, and sculpted windows on each corner.

The first soft-shell tent equipped with gas-charged struts for assisted deployment, the Horizon Vi-sion is also one of the lightest and most compact roof shelters available today. Perfect for compact SUVs, crossovers, and wagons, the low 12-inch profile and 100-pound weight help maintain the host vehicle’s fuel efficiency and handling characteristics.

Once unfolded, the cavernous interior is bright and inviting. The four corner windows and two doors open wide to expose 360-degree views. Clear plastic panels on the windows and doors al-low light to enter the shelter while keeping cold, wind, and weather at bay. On warm nights the mesh on each window and door panel creates a cooling cross breeze for a comfortable night’s sleep.

For tall sleepers, or those who want a little extra foot room, the 86-inch length is one of the longest in its class. The tall 47-inch peak height allows for ample headroom and the comfortable 3-inch high-density foam mattress is fitted with a soft-touch removable cover. For use in cold weather an optional Isothermic insulated liner clips into the interior creating a rooftop igloo capable of defend-ing against winter’s worst.

The unique aluminum architecture is wrapped with Baroud’s proprietary fabric. Waterproof and breathable, it reflects heat, resists UV light, mold, and mildew. It is also durable and easy to maintain. Large-gauge zippers on the doors and windows speak to Baroud’s commitment to quality. The single-wall design eliminates the need for a separate rainfly contributing to the tent’s easy pitch and tested wind rating of 60mph. On windy nights, the lack of a rainfly keeps noise to a minimum.

Some of the most convenient features are easily overlooked. The heavy PVC cover is affixed to the folded tent with a heavy elastic cord eliminating the need for zippers which are quickly fouled with dust. Unlike other folding tents, the Horizon Vision is fitted with additional support legs positioned behind the telescoping ladder. They lend the tent unrivaled stability for undisturbed sleep.

Easy to mount with a high-degree of adjustability, it is backed with a 3-year warranty. If you’re looking for a compact shelter with unsurpassed versatility and comfort, look no further than the James Baroud Horizon Vision.
