Yakima Skyrise HD Rooftop Tent Medium 8007437

Got the tent in late 2020 and since have done more than 60 nights in it in all conditions/environments (deserts, snowy mountains, ocean side, canyons, …).It’s super roomy, has vertical room to add another 2” of memory foam (huge difference) / sleeping bag when tent is closed, warm enough for 25-30F nights, sturdy. Setup takes me now about 2 min, takedown about 4 min.

I had the original Skyrise3 and this HD version is much improved. Everything is higher quality, from the materials to the zippers.-It's roomier; I think they changed the length on the diagonal supports to make the roof higher.-The fabric is much thicker and there are multiple waterproofing enhancements, like rubber underneath the fly on the corners and overlapping material on all the zippers.-The windows are also much larger and the front door and rear window are essentially the same now. If you don't have the fly on, the poles slot into the door flap on both sides and act as an awning. Pretty neat.-The ladder also collapses back into the stored position without manually thumbing the switches on each level (there are little dimples on the steps that ... MoreI had the original Skyrise3 and this HD version is much improved.

Pretty neat.-The ladder also collapses back into the stored position without manually thumbing the switches on each level (there are little dimples on the steps that automatically unlock the steps as you are collapsing it).-The cover is larger, so it's easy to keep your bedding in the tent when you fold it up.-The floor seems very sturdy. Not sure if they changed anything, but the previous version made some popping sounds. The HD version is completely solid.-The track corners for the annex are beefier. I had trouble with the previous version, and these are much improved.I'm loving the tent. I have it mounted on a custom built trailer and it has completely changed my camping experience. 5 minutes to close up the tent and take off, so even if you have it mounted on a car, it's not a huge hassle to drive someone. It really feels like you're in a tree-house. It's also great that there's no need to brush down the underside or find a level spot.I really recommend the annex and the skyloft accessory.

I have really enjoyed owning my SkyRise 3 my son (7) and i love it and have used it many times this year. Haven't had any issues with it and was surprised at how comfortable it was to sleep in. Has been very good in the rain no leaks even through some pretty heavy rain. Easy to set up and break down by myself. Can be a little tricky to get the rain fly poles in but it just took some getting used to. Need 2 people to put it on and off the SUV. Used the Skyline system to mount it and it was medium/hard to install took some time but got it dialed in and think it looks good. Does create some wind noise when on the highway with the tent on little more than i expected.
