Darche Ridgeback Highrize Hardshell RTT
This is the one – Darche’s top of the line hard shell roof top tent delivers every bit of quality engineering and construction that you expect – all in a stunning welded aluminum shell. Gone are the days of wedge-style tents with their limited foot space and cramped interior. HighRize gives you best-in-class interior space while maintaining a simple footprint on your vehicle.
The Ridgeback HighRize is our biggest hardshell roof top tent, but it still packs down slimmer than most soft shell tents. The high-spec build gives you unparalleled quality, with German-engineered Stabilus struts that provide effortless set up and pack down. High-strength aluminum channel sections with welded corners also provide the toughest protection from trail damage and mishaps.
The interior is full of innovation too, with six windows giving you almost panoramic views. The plush 55mm memory foam mattress comes with a removable cover and water-resistant base plus a 10mm high rebound anti-condensation mat that will give you the most comfortable night’s sleep you’ve ever had on the road. The interior also features internal USB-powered dimmable LED lighting and luxurious soft headlining. The sides and headliner also have plenty of storage pockets and netting for your devices, accessories, and clothes.
There is even more space inside the Ridgeback HighRize to keep you cool and comfortable. The removable fly provides shelter from the sun and rain and there are three full size entry points where the ladder can be mounted. The entire tent body is removable for washing or repair, and the tent can even be used in single-action wedge mode when there’s snow buildup or extreme weather expected.
The tent body is made from premium water resistant 280gsm Ripstop Polycotton Canvas and features an impressive 3000mm waterhead rating, high profile automotive rubber weather seals, internal seam sealing and a removable fly that will keep you dry in extended rainy conditions. With roof rails and awning bracket kits available (sold separately), the Ridgeback HighRize delivers everything you’ll ever need in a hard shell roof top tent and more. The included mounting rails suit most commercially available flat roof rack or roof rail systems.
Make sure to check the weight rating and suitability of your roof rack and vehicle with appropriate manufacturers prior to purchase. We recommend professional installation through your local dealer or off-road shop
