Listen "Ep181 - Lightweight Rooftop Tents: What's New"
Episode Synopsis
                            The minimalist movement: rooftop tents cutting weight without compromiseBen and Lauren climb the ladder of the latest lightweight rooftop tent innovations, from 23ZERO's Super Lite range to Inspired Overland's carbon fibre brilliance and Darche's detachable designs. Our gear gurus examine the critical trade-offs between shedding kilos and sacrificing features, explore how new materials and technology are pushing boundaries, and reveal what's coming down the pipeline like Inspired Overland's Trailpeak. From removable features allowing customisable weight versus functionality, to integrated lighting and power points for convenience without bulk - this episode is essential listening for anyone chasing that sweet spot between roof rack-friendly weight and ultimate camping comfort – because sometimes less is more if you're not losing what matters.Shortcuts:00:00 - Intro00:48 - The Latest in Lightweight Rooftop Tents02:06 - Reflecting on Ep17803:22 - 23ZERO Dakota Super Lite Rooftop Tent04:35 - 23ZERO Saber Super Lite Rooftop Tent05:44 - 23ZERO Saber Vert-X1450 Hard Shell and Super Fly Lightweight Rooftop Tent07:12 - Lightweight Vs Features: Determining the Trade-Off08:54 - Inspired Overland XL Lightweight and Carbonlite Rooftop Tent09:55 - Inspired Overland Stargazer Duo Rooftop Tent10:49 - Coming Soon: Inspired Overland Trailpeak Rooftop Tent12:44 - Darche Detachable Rooftop Tent13:13 - Front Runner Roof Top Tent13:52 - Inspired Overland Standard and Carbonlite: Removable Features16:35 - Technology, Materials, and Sacrifices in Lightweight Rooftop Tents24:00 - Sleeping Gear and Bedding25:36 - Integrated Lighting, Power Points, and Other Features26:27 - Final Thoughts28:08 - SummaryJoin the conversation over on our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/snowysHead to snowys.com.au for all your gear needs:https://www.snowys.com.au
