Premium Materials and Manufacturing

For over 30 years, James Baroud has been designing roof top tents known worldwide for their durability and reliability. All components are sourced in Europe to ensure consistent quality and high performance in extreme conditions.

Hard shells are manufactured in Milan, Italy, while technical fabrics come from the Netherlands. NASA uses these same fabrics in aerospace applications. Seams are stitched with German Gütermann threads, and each tent is hand-assembled in Porto, Portugal. The result is a premium finish backed by a full 5-year warranty.

Reinforced and Aerodynamic Hard Shell

The four-layer fiberglass shell is built to handle heavy rain, strong winds, intense cold, and prolonged heat. Its aerodynamic design reduces drag and helps limit fuel consumption on long drives.

An integrated solar fan ensures continuous airflow, effectively reducing condensation day and night. As a result, the interior stays drier and more comfortable, even in humid or cold environments.

Waterproof and Breathable Fabric of the pop-up roof top tent

The patented fabric effectively repels water while remaining breathable. It blocks UV rays and helps maintain a comfortable interior temperature.

The 360° panoramic openings provide excellent visibility around camp, while durable mosquito screens protect against insects. Silent, rugged rubberized zippers are perfectly suited for intensive expedition use.

Comfort and Integrated Features

The Grand Raid X includes a 65 mm high-density mattress, ensuring restful sleep on long trips. Smart storage spaces, a rechargeable portable LED light, and a sturdy ladder complete the setup for simple, efficient daily use.

The typical 75 kg). Its rooftop load capacity allows you to add transport bags, spare tires, or expedition equipment.

It’s also compatible with James Baroud four-season insulation, awnings, and annex rooms. Finally, it integrates perfectly into a complete off-grid setup with a diesel heater, solar panels, or power stations, on vans, SUVs, or overland trucks.

Practical Tips for Canada

For best results, always distribute rooftop cargo evenly and regularly check the clamps on road trips. In cold or humid weather, adding an anti-condensation mat further improves comfort. On long expeditions, its aerodynamics and load capacity make it an ideal partner on Canada’s most remote trails.
