The Cinch 'Air Cruiser' rooftop tent is a self-assembling piece of camping equipment for avid overlanding enthusiasts to help them maintain their comfort when spending time in the great outdoors.
The tent is constructed with no poles or pumping required and can be simply activated with the press of a single button to have it ready for sleeping. The tent will fit onto 99% of vehicle models and collapses down when not in use to reduce overall drag, while also reducing overall weight to just 80-pounds for the main construction.
The Cinch 'Air Cruiser' rooftop tent has ample headroom when set up for use along with a memory foam mattress for comfort, a total of six screened-in windows and more.
