Gordigear hardshell tents, your premium sleeping place

The hard shell tent is the premium class among roof tents for outdoor enthusiasts. Gordigear has continuously improved the construction of this robust roof tent variant through years of experience and development work. The characteristic solid outer shell made of high-quality composite material not only protects during the journey, but also offers superior stability when set up.

  • Technological advantage through innovative materials

    A modern, high-quality hard-shell tent combines advanced materials to create a functional overall concept. The multi-layer sandwich construction of the outer shell combines lightweight construction with extreme strength. In laboratory tests, the aluminum honeycomb construction proves its superiority over conventional constructions. The composite core ensures excellent insulation while minimizing weight.

    The technical advantages at a glance:

    • Precise CNC-manufactured components with perfect fit and maximum tightness
    • Multi-layer composite materials for optimal weight-stability ratio
    • UV-resistant outer coating prevents material fatigue even in intense sunlight
    • Innovative insulation layers minimize thermal bridges and reduce condensation
    • Integrated reinforcements at the attachment points for permanent load-bearing capacity

  • Innovative opening mechanism for relaxed camping

    The heart of a modern hard-shell tent is the sophisticated opening mechanism. German branded gas pressure springs enable effortless assembly. Practical tests show assembly times of less than 1 minute from fully closed to ready for use. This is certainly one of the advantages over folding roof tents . The precisely coordinated mechanics also guarantee years of reliability with minimal maintenance.

    Key aspects of the opening system:

    • Lockable latches provide security and prevent accidental opening while driving.
    • Temperature-stable gas pressure dampers function reliably in all climate zones.
    • The opening mechanism ensures controlled movement without the risk of trapping
    • Corrosion-protected hinges and joints for long-lasting functionality

  • Superior comfort in every climate zone

    The solid construction of the hard shell tent offers excellent protection in extreme weather conditions. Strategically placed ventilation openings ensure optimal air exchange and minimize condensation. Combining it with a suitable awning or shower tent significantly increases the usable space.

    High-quality window elements with multi-layer coverings
    enable individual adaptation to different
    Weather conditions. In summer, you can open the windows completely for maximum ventilation, while in winter the insulating covers protect against the cold. The integrated mosquito nets reliably keep annoying insects away. There are various options to keep the roof tent nice and warm at night. The most effective solution in very cold temperatures is a roof tent heater. All of our hard-shell roof tents have a connection for this.

  • Superior durability through quality construction

    The superior lifespan of hard shell tents is the result of the well thought-out construction and high-quality materials. The solid outer shell offers effective protection against environmental influences such as UV radiation, hail or falling branches.

    • Important aspects for maximum service life:
    • High-quality stainless steel fittings and saltwater-resistant components for coastal regions
    • Low-wear sealing systems with UV-stabilized materials for permanent watertightness
    • Robustly dimensioned hinges and mounting points for years of operation without fatigue
    • Special coatings on all mechanical components against corrosion and oxidation

    Worldwide spare parts supply and
    simple construction guarantees long-term value retention

Aerodynamic design for efficient travel

The streamlined design of modern hard-shell tents is the result of intensive wind tunnel tests and the low structure when closed reduces air resistance considerably. Measurements show significantly lower fuel consumption compared to conventional roof structures. Special edge constructions minimize annoying wind noise while driving.

  • Versatile uses for adventurers

    The robustness of the hard shell tent opens up possibilities for use in extreme conditions. From Icelandic expeditions to Australian desert crossings - the stable construction offers reliable protection. Nature photographers appreciate the quick readiness for optimal light conditions in the early morning. Additional car awnings extend the usable area for longer stays.

    The excellent insulation allows you to sleep comfortably even in extreme temperatures. The elevated position not only offers a better view, but also protects against ground moisture and animals. The stable platform is ideal for longer stays in one place without compromising on sleeping comfort.

  • cleaning and maintenance

    The smooth surface of the hard shell makes cleaning much easier. Stubborn dirt can be easily removed with our cleaning products . Particular attention is paid to the sealing elements at the transitions between the upper and lower shells. Regular inspection and care of the mechanical components ensures long-term functionality.

    Out of season, storage should be in a dry, temperature-controlled room. The hard-shell tent should ideally be stored slightly open to avoid pressure marks on the seals. This careful care not only preserves functionality, but also maintains the above-average resale value of this premium camping solution.
