Ultra High-End James Baroud Odyssey L Pop-Up Hard Shell Roof Top Tent The James Baroud Odyssey L pop-up hard shell roof top tent embodies luxury and innovation in overland camping. As the true James Baroud flagship model, the Odyssey L is the most high-end roof top tent ever developed by the brand. It makes no compromise on comfort, technology, or aesthetics. As the first roof top tent in the world to offer a true 360° panoramic view, the Odyssey L transforms every stop into a fully immersive experience. Nature is no longer framed through a single opening—it surrounds you completely. Designed for demanding travelers and premium families, this High End Roof top Tent defines luxury overlanding. It is perfectly suited for Canadian adventures, from exclusive weekend getaways to long-term off-grid expeditions. Internal dimensions: Width 140 cm (55 in), length 220 cm (87 in). Open height: 100 cm (39 in) — a luxurious and airy interior space. Closed height: 33.5 cm (13 in) — an elegant, aerodynamic silhouette. Weight without ladder: 81 kg (178 lb), ±3% variation due to handcrafted assembly. Capacity: 2 adults + 2 children — premium comfort for the entire family. Shell: 4 mm premium ABS with long-lasting UV-resistant coating. Fabric: Patented 3-layer blackout fabric — exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation. Mattress: 65 mm high-density foam — luxury bedding-level comfort. Openings: 3 panoramic doors delivering an exclusive 360° view. Colours: White, grey, graphite, or black. Warranty: 5 years — the James Baroud standard of excellence. The Odyssey L pop-up roof top tent goes beyond a sleeping space—it creates a suspended panoramic lounge. First, the blackout fabric ensures total darkness for deep, restorative sleep. Then, the 360° opening highlights landscapes, natural light, and star-filled nights. The result is an experience unlike anything else on the market. Exceptional European Craftsmanship For over 30 years, James Baroud has developed some of the world’s most advanced roof top tents. With the Odyssey L, the brand raises its standards even further. All materials are sourced in Europe and selected for performance, durability, and flawless finishing. The ABS shell is manufactured in Milan, Italy. The technical fabrics come from the Netherlands and rely on high-performance technologies, including aerospace applications. German Gütermann threads ensure durable stitching. Finally, each hard shell roof top tent is hand-assembled in Porto, Portugal. Premium ABS Shell and Exclusive Pop-Up Roof Top Tent Design The 4 mm ABS hard shell delivers outstanding resistance to impacts, UV exposure, and extreme climates. Its elegant, modern design instantly positions the Odyssey L as an exceptional product. An integrated solar-powered fan continuously renews the air. As a result, condensation is efficiently reduced, even in cold or humid conditions. Integrated aluminum rails also allow seamless installation of premium accessories while preserving a clean aesthetic. Important Recommendation – Safety and Optimal Mounting As these models are built with an ABS shell (not fiberglass), their structure is not designed for lateral cantilever mounting. To ensure maximum safety, long-term durability, and proper load distribution, we strongly recommend using roof bars spanning the full width of the tent. For optimal performance, we recommend the James Baroud Quick Release roof bars in the appropriate length. They provide continuous support, superior stability, and better absorption of off-road stress—even during demanding expeditions. The World’s First Roof Top Tent with 360° Panoramic View The Odyssey L is the first roof top tent in the world to deliver a true 360° panoramic view. Its wide openings fully wrap the interior space, creating total visual immersion in the surrounding environment. Integrated mosquito nets ensure maximum airflow while keeping insects out. The blackout fabric restores complete darkness at any time. With a single adjustment, the tent transitions from an open panorama to a luxurious insulated cocoon—an unmatched feature on the market. Absolute Comfort and High-End Features The 65 mm high-density mattress guarantees optimal support, even during extended journeys. Portable LED lighting, smart integrated storage, and premium finishes place the Odyssey L at the very top—making it a true reference in luxury camping. Compatibility and Luxury Overlanding The James Baroud Odyssey L is compatible with most standard roof racks and crossbars (typical dynamic load rating of 75 kg). Integrated rails also allow easy installation of cargo bars, solar panels, or premium technical equipment. Compatible with four-season insulation kits, awnings, and James Baroud annexes, it can also be paired with a diesel heater. This enables full autonomy, even during Canadian winter expeditions. An Icon of High-End Overland Camping Designed for those who accept no compromise, the Odyssey L is built for a premium clientele. It represents the ultimate blend of comfort, design, and innovation. More than a roof top tent, it is a signature—a new global benchmark in luxury overland camping.
