James Baroud | ODYSSEY

Once the shell is unlocked and pushed at both ends, the high-pressure pistons will automatically lift the tent. Then you just crawl inside and pull each locking handle until it clicks, securing the pistons in the open position, with the tent walls perfectly taut. When you're ready to pack up the tent, simply push on the same four handles. You'll hear another click, and the piston "elbows" will bend, allowing you to close the shell using the convenient rubber handle.

These shells are made from thick ABS material with a UV protective layer and are built to last. They provide exceptional durability and resistance to the elements. Whether you encounter heavy rain, strong winds, or extreme temperatures, the Frontier Series shells will withstand the challenge and ensure you have a reliable and comfortable shelter.

The Frontier Series shells not only excel in functionality but also boast an eye-catching aerodynamic design. Adding style to your roof while also reducing fuel consumption when driving with the tent closed. Experience a smooth and efficient ride as you hit the road.

Additionally, the shells are equipped with an innovative aluminum profile frame with integrated gutters or gear grooves. This allows for easy attachment and sliding of gear inside and outside the tent, maximizing your storage options and overall customization.

With the environment in mind, the Frontier Series shells are made from 100% recyclable materials. This makes them the first rooftop tent shells to offer such a sustainable feature, allowing you to enjoy your camping adventures while minimizing your environmental impact.

The gray canvas of the James Baroud Odyssey rooftop tent consists of a coated high-quality 3-layer fabric weighing 650 g/m² (19.23 oz/ft²). The fabric boasts double seams that ensure robustness and durability while effectively reflecting sunlight and offering excellent resistance to UV rays, heat, and water. Its curved aluminum guides facilitate water drainage and enhance wind resistance, tested and proven to withstand gusts up to 120 km/h (75 mph).

It offers unparalleled acoustic and thermal insulation, allowing for peaceful rest even in challenging conditions. The 100% blackout technology combined with rubber sliders on all zippers ensures a peaceful and undisturbed sleep even in strong winds. The soundproof fabric ensures quiet and serene camping.

The rear door is equipped with a transparent PVC window that can be closed to protect against adverse weather conditions while allowing light to penetrate the rooftop tent. It is also secured with a double-stitched Velcro strip, ensuring impermeability and providing an additional safety measure.

The Frontier Series fabric continues the brand's commitment to innovation and practicality. It retains the option of independent fabric replacement, a feature first introduced in the Evolution series. It consists of six separate parts, allowing for individual replacement to facilitate repairs in case of minor damage.

The exterior of the tent features a new textured design adorned with the James Baroud logo. The overall design maintains a balance between privacy and panoramic openings, offering a large and immersive view without compromising user discretion. The unique concept encourages users to place their head in the higher part of the lower canvas, ensuring privacy while their feet occupy the lower part, allowing for a full 360º view, even when lying down.

The tent's windows and entrances are equipped with mosquito nets that are tear-resistant because they are double-stitched into the fabric. This prevents insects from entering while providing a well-known panoramic view. Even in strong winds, the fabric holds up excellently. It is tested for wind impact resistance at speeds up to 120 km/h, so you can rest assured knowing your tent is

The James Baroud solar-powered fan is an advanced ventilation system specifically designed to reduce condensation and improve airflow in shell rooftop tents. Thanks to its integrated design, this fan easily integrates into the tent.

The fan is maintenance-free and solar-charged. In summer, it brings in fresh air, and in cold weather, it transports moist air out to prevent condensation inside. The fan is waterproof, extremely quiet, and has an airflow of 20 m³/h. Its placement on the ceiling allows for optimal distribution of airflow throughout the tent and easy access to the switch.

The solar fan is equipped with a high-capacity 24-hour battery, working quietly and efficiently. It ensures continuous ventilation even during extended use. The fan's automatic recharging feature uses sunlight and ensures continuous operation without the need for manual recharging.

It is removable and versatile for any camping occasion, thanks to built-in magnets that allow for instant and secure attachment to any metal surface or to attach it to a backpack strap for hiking. It also comes with a red light option to avoid attracting insects and improve night vision.

Experience unparalleled comfort during your adventures under the rooftop tent with the James Baroud High-density Mattress. This foam mattress, designed specifically for long journeys and maximum comfort, has a density of 28 kg/m3 and a height of 65 mm, making it one of the most comfortable options on the market.

The mattress also comes with a practical removable cover for washing, allowing you to keep it clean and fresh for future expeditions.

James Baroud tents are equipped with a spacious ceiling net that provides a convenient solution for storing clothing and light items, keeping them overhead off the floor. Additionally, the tents have multiple internal pockets that can be easily attached to the ceiling using a reliable Velcro strip. These pockets offer a secure and accessible storage option for smartphones, small devices, and other essentials, keeping them always within reach.

The Frontier internal storage is also equipped with advanced internal gutters, also known as "sliding slots," offering unique customization options for your storage needs. The gear slots are strategically placed throughout the upper interior of the tent, and to attach new gear, simply slide the T-bolt head into the rail and secure it in place with a nut.

Even when closed, the shell rooftop tents have 20 cm of vertical space. That's enough to store two sleeping bags or blankets, two pillows, two sets of nightwear, and the James Baroud ladder.

Customization is easy with the Frontier Series shells, as they come in various color variants. Whether you prefer timeless white, sleek black, or sophisticated metallic gray, you can choose the color that best suits your personal taste and preferences.

James Baroud shell tents are equipped with a reliable locking system that ensures maximum security and peace of mind during your outdoor adventures. The Evolution locks are meticulously designed to prevent accidental opening. To unlock and open the locks, strong pressure must be applied to the locking pin on both sides while simultaneously pulling upward. 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 locked with a padlock, providing an additional layer of protection for your belongings.

Before lifting the tent shell, all locks must be opened. This ensures that the locks are properly released and the tent can be effortlessly lifted. The rear locks should be opened first to avoid damage.

The included James Baroud ladder adapts to the height of your vehicle, reaching a length of up to 2.4 m, supporting up to 200 kg, and featuring non-slip, ergonomically designed steps. The feet are rubberized for a firm grip on various terrains, and the construction allows for slight bending of the ladder during tent movement, preventing damage to the shell when secured in place.

Rooftop tents are equipped with a reliable locking mechanism for attaching the ladder to both sides of the tent. The locking mechanism, designed with durability in mind, utilizes high-quality aluminum construction and offers a lightweight yet robust solution. Once locked in place at the desired angle, the ladder remains securely attached even during movement 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. Additionally, the ladder can be easily stored inside when closing the tent, saving valuable space.

You can also order the optional James Baroud XL ladder, which has the same load capacity but extends to a length of 3 m.

The high-pressure piston arms of the Frontier series are a precisely engineered component of the series, designed to provide reliable and effortless operation. These arms utilize advanced hydraulic technology to ensure smooth and controlled opening and closing of the tent.

Designed to ensure a secure and stable tent structure even in windy conditions, providing optimal tension to keep the tent fabric taut and properly aligned, enhancing overall stability and resisting winds up to 120 km/h (55 mph). Thanks to the innovative and easy-to-use locking mechanism, you can secure the arms in place in less than a minute. From inside the tent, the pistons are protected by a fabric cover, preventing contact with cold metal during sleep.

These robust piston arms have the strength to lift up to 25 kg (55 pounds) of additional load on top of the James Baroud cross truss panels, expanding storage options and allowing you to bring essential gear for your outdoor journeys.
