FSR Aspen Lite 2 Person Hard Shell Roof Top Tent

FSR or Freespirit Recreation have been making some of the highest quality roof top tent models that you can find on the market right now. They have been in this game for a long time and they know how to design a tent that will give the people what they want. And that is exactly what they did with this Aspen Lite RTT.

FSR Aspen Lite Clamshell Roof Top Tent

This is an extremely lightweight clamshell hard shell roof top tent that was designed to fit 2 adults. The entire design of the tent was designed to be as lightweight as possible and it weights only 110lbs! The Aspen Lite features an all aluminum frame and it was built to be durable enough to handle just about anything.

This RTT diferenciate itself from other hard shell tents out there as it does not have a regular plastic or even aluminum hard shell casing that most models have. As FSR wanted to create this tent as light as possible without having to sacrifice the standard of durability of the tent they had to come up with an innovative solution.

That's why the shell of this FSR roof top tent is has a tonneau style top constructed out of aluminum covered with 600D Oxford ripstop fabric that is tear resistant and completely waterproof. It even comes with a durable travel cover that will further protect it from harsh outdoor conditions. 

All Season Roof Top Tent

The body of this tent is constructed out of 3 layers of 150D poly-oxford fabric with 90g/M2 poly-fil and it can will keep you warm even during the coldest of nights while simultaneously protecting you from strong winds and any other unforgiving weather conditions. It also comes with a very rugged rainfly that will help when it is stormy outside.

Cool feature of this FSR tent is the diesel heater/ electrical passthrough. Those are the 2 ports on each side of the tent that'll give you that capability. In order to boast good airflow an minimize condensation, the Aspen Lite features ventilation ports that can be opened and set up in a matter of seconds.   

Interior & Construction

Inside of this roof top tent is very well insulated in order to keep you warm during colder days and cool during those hot, sunny days. Cool thing about this RTT is that you can unzip the inside fabric should you ever need to repair the tonneau fabric of the shell.

This is a very spacious tent that has a headroom of up to 60" and plus you get great panoramic view with it so that you can enjoy your next outdoor adventure. This tent features an all new Air-Core mattress, which is a hybrid foam-air design that you can inflate depending on your needs.

The interior of this Aspen Lite tent also features a ton of storage space with many storage pockets on pretty much every side of the tent that you can use to store away any smaller pieces of gear that you might have or some other personal belongings or even toiletries. Another cool thing is that it comes with an integrated LED light strip that is dimmable. 

Windows & Zippers

All of the windows as well as the entry point have separated tri-layer fabric and mesh fabric that keeps all the insects out of your tent. That way you can still look outside your tent without worrying that anything will come inside it.

Both the mesh window and the tri-layer window have their own zippers so that you can open either one of them according to your needs. Even the side windows of this Free Spirit roof top tent have been upgraded from 2 separate zippers to 1 consecutive one.

There are window openings on 3 sides of this Aspen Lite roof top tent so that you could enjoy the scenery around you. The zipper mechanism is also very smooth which will make opening and closing said windows a breeze.

Why the Aspen Lite is a Game Changer for Small SUVs

Most hardshell tents are absolute beasts that require three buddies and a case of beer just to get them onto your roof rack. The Aspen Lite Rooftop Tent flips that script. Coming in at just around 110 lbs, it is one of the lightest hardshells on the market today.

This isn't just about saving your back during installation. It’s about how your rig handles on the highway and the trail. If you are rocking a Subaru, a RAV4, or any crossover where weight is a major concern, this tent was basically built for you. You get all the durability of a hardshell without the "brick on the roof" feeling that kills your gas mileage.

FSR Tri-Layer Fabric: Sleep Better in Any Season

One thing you’ll notice about FSR is their obsession with fabric tech. The Aspen Lite features their signature Tri-Layer material, which is a massive upgrade for anyone who camps outside the "perfect" summer window.

Most tents use a thin poly-cotton that lets heat escape in the winter and turns into an oven in the summer. This fabric is designed to insulate. It stays significantly warmer on those high-elevation nights in the mountains and keeps things noticeably cooler when the sun is beating down on the shell. Plus, it’s great at blocking out light. If you want to sleep in past sunrise, this is the tent that actually lets you do it.

The 60-Second Camp Setup

The main reason people switch from a soft-shell to a hardshell like the Aspen Lite is the setup time. You just undo the latches and let the gas struts do the heavy lifting. In about a minute, your bed is ready.

This is a huge win when you’re pulling into camp late at night or if you’re trying to beat a rainstorm. Packing it down is just as easy. Since it features a slimline design, you don't have to fight with a bulky PVC cover in the wind. Just pull it down, latch it, and you’re back on the trail.
