James Baroud | EVASION

Assisted automatic opening using hydraulic cylinders and articulated arms, which are protected by a fabric cover on the inside of the tent.

The roof shell is made of four layers of reinforced glass fiber and is coated with gel varnish protecting against UV radiation.The special construction improves aerodynamics while providing excellent strength with low weight. Thermal insulation is incorporated into the bottom, which reduces the cooling of the surface at low temperatures, reduces condensation and contributes to a pleasant and comfortable sleep.

This patented fabric for the Evolution series is designed to provide premium protection and durability. The fabric walls are made with a unique water-repellent treatment integrated into the fibers themselves, which ensures long-lasting waterproofness. Unlike other roof tents that rely on thin top layers that can crack or peel over time, this fabric is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.

Thanks to its properties of preventing UV radiation, the fabric effectively protects you from harmful solar radiation and at the same time maintains a pleasant temperature in the interior. The high-quality microporous acrylic material reflects sunlight, reducing heat absorption and keeping the tent cool on hot days. In addition, the fabric is designed to be breathable, which promotes ventilation and prevents condensation.

Every detail of the fabric is perfectly thought out for optimal performance. The zipper runners are coated with rubber to improve grip and minimize scraping noise, even in strong winds. The double stitching of the edges of the fabric guarantees exceptional strength and durability.It also ensures that your tent will last for years of use. With an emphasis on waterproofness and tightness, the entrances close with a Velcro strip that creates a secure seal.

Light inside the tent is provided by the James Baroud Portable Light.The USB-rechargeable lithium battery allows several hours of operation before recharging.

Detachable and versatile for any camping occasion, the built-in magnets allow it to be instantly and securely attached to any metal surface or attached to the shoulder of a backpack for hiking. It also comes with a red light option to avoid attracting insects and improve night vision.

Even when closed, shell roof tents have 20 cm of vertical space. This is enough to store two sleeping bags or blankets, two pillows, two sets of nightclothes and a James Baroud ladder.

James Baroud shell tents are equipped with a reliable lock system that ensures maximum safety and comfort during your outdoor adventures. Evolution locks are honestly designed to prevent accidental opening. To unlock and open the locks, it is necessary to exert strong pressure on the locking pin on both sides and pull upwards at the same time. This ingenious mechanism ensures that the locks remain securely locked even in rough terrain and strong winds. For added security, the locks can also be easily padlocked, which provides an additional option to protect your belongings.

All locks must be opened before lifting the tent cover. This ensures that the locks are properly released and the tent can be lifted effortlessly. The rear locks should be opened first to avoid damage.

The included James Baroud ladder adapts to the height of your vehicle, reaches a length of up to 2.4 m, can hold up to 200 kg and has non-slip, ergonomically designed steps. The legs are rubberized for a firm grip in different terrain, the construction allows the ladder to bend slightly when moving the tent, so it does not damage the shell when securing it in place.

The roof tents are equipped with a reliable locking mechanism for attaching the ladder to both sides of the tent. Designed with durability in mind, the locking mechanism utilizes high-quality aluminum construction and offers a lightweight yet robust solution. Once locked in place at the desired angle, the ladder stays securely attached even when moving around inside the tent or in strong winds.   

The ladder comes with a practical PVC bag that provides protection from sand, mud and water during transport.In addition, the ladder can be easily stored inside when closing the tent, thus saving valuable space.
