James Baroud Grand Raid M Pop-up Hard Shell Roof Top Tent

The hard shell roof top tent James Baroud Grand Raid M is built for demanding adventurers who carry a lot of equipment. Specifically designed for serious overlanding, it combines a reliable all-season shelter with extra rooftop cargo capacity. Rugged, aerodynamic, and trail-ready, it’s ideal for Canadian adventures, from off-grid weekends to extended off-grid expeditions.

• Internal dimensions: Width 140 cm (55 in), length 200 cm (79 in).
• Open height: 100 cm (39 in) — comfortable space for life on the road.
• Closed height: 33.5 cm (13 in) — low and aerodynamic profile.
• Weight without ladder: 66 kg (145 lb), ±5% variation due to manual assembly.
• Capacity: 2 adults + 1 child — ideal for small crews.
• Roof load capacity: 25 kg (55 lb) — perfect for bags, a spare tire, or technical gear.
• Wind resistance: Up to 120 km/h — tested in extreme conditions.
• Shell materials: 4-layer fiberglass with UV-resistant gelcoat.
• Fabric: Waterproof, breathable, and patented.
• Opening: Automatic pop-up via hydraulic struts.
• Colours: White, grey, black, or custom RAL colours (200+ options).

These features support a confident decision. For example, the rooftop load capacity lets you carry extra gear without cluttering the cabin. In addition, its controlled weight makes installation easier on SUVs and 4x4s. As a result, you head out adventure-ready, even in the most remote terrain.

Premium Materials and Manufacturing

For over 30 years, James Baroud has been designing roof top tents recognized worldwide for their reliability. James Baroud exclusively selects materials made in Europe to ensure consistent quality and exceptional longevity.

Hard shells are manufactured in Milan, Italy, while technical fabrics come from the Netherlands. NASA also uses these fabrics for aerospace suits. 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 withstands the harshest conditions: high winds, cold, and heat. The aerodynamic profile of the hard shell roof top tent reduces wind drag and helps limit fuel consumption on long distances.

An integrated solar fan ensures constant airflow and reduces condensation day and night. As a result, the interior stays drier and more comfortable, even in humid conditions.

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

The patented fabric effectively repels water while remaining breathable. It also 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 overlanding use.

Comfort and Integrated Features of the hard shell roof top tent

The 65 mm high-density mattress of the pop-up roof top tent delivers restful sleep. Smart storage spaces, a rechargeable portable LED light, and a sturdy ladder complete the setup for practical daily use.

Compatibility and Off-Grid Use

The Grand Raid M is compatible with most roof racks and roof bars (75 kg dynamic load rating). Its higher load capacity allows you to add roof bags, technical gear, 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 a portable power station.

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 cargo capacity make it an ideal partner on remote Canadian trails.
