Badass Tents® introduces its RECON™ model Made-in-USA rooftop tent that fits most vehicles with a roof rack or crossbars. This tactical styled roof top tent joins it’s family of “lightest & slimmest” hardtop roof top tents on the market today weighing in at 135 lbs. and 5” tall fully loaded. The RECON’s Onyx Black tactical-styled pop up roof top tent combines the RUGGED’s exterior shell and the CONVOY’s frame and tent to create the perfect blend of style and spacious tent. Badass Tents developed several custom mounting applications that allow for mounting the tent 1” above the roof of the vehicle to dramatically reduce wind drag and noise. The included top crossbars can store up to 75lbs in transit, perfect for recovery boards, paddle board, snowboards or gear box.

Badass Tents’ RECON popup tent is designed to set up in 2 minutes or less by releasing the hidden clasps and giving a slight push to raise the tent to 40”. Enter through one of the 3 large zippered doors that sport spacious windows and stretch out on the comfortable integrated mattress. Setting up camp couldn’t be easier and you’ll have best view in camp with full 360° views out the 4 large windows.

All Badass Tents (also known as BA Tents) are quick to set up, feature a sleek ultra-compact design for low wind noise which doesn’t affect gas mileage, have first in-class patented features, made using durable impact modified ABS material with a utility finish over a high strength extruded aluminum frame and offers cost savings through some user assembly.

Recon Tent

Was able to stop by the BadAss Tents shop to check out their tents in person before buying. Roger and Will were awesome showing off their different tents and answering all my questions about mounting. Originally went in to look at the Rugged, but was told of the Recon and was immediately sold. Have had the Recon for about a month and have spent 4 nights in it so far. No issues bouncing around the trails when out around Anza Borrego. Love the space in the tent with the flat ceiling and front vestibule. Impressed with the low profile of the tent when closed up, the height of the closed tent while driving was one of my main concerns when shopping around for the rooftop tent, and I barely notice the tent is on my roof when driving down the freeway.
