The Daktent 140L Deluxe from Dare to be Different is a soft-top rooftop tent that fits onto a vehicle’s roof rack, giving you a dry, raised place to sleep wherever the road leads. It unfolds into a shelter with a built-in mattress, so you won’t have to worry about pitching on uneven ground or clearing a campsite.
Its main body is made from sturdy 300 g canvas blending cotton and polyester that balances breathability with strength, while the attached fly-top uses a ripstop Oxford polyester treated to resist UV damage and tearing. The floor is a high-pressure bonded aluminum sandwich board with extra reinforcements, so you won’t feel every bump from the ground below. Inside there’s a 240 × 140 × 6 cm polyester mattress with a zip-off, washable cotton cover for easy cleaning. When folded the tent packs down to 150 × 125 × 38 cm and weighs 59 kg, so make sure your roof rack can handle it before you hit the road.
The tent fabric’s PU-coating adds a protective layer against moisture and dirt, helping it shed light rain and splashes without soaking through. Ripstop refers to a weaving pattern that includes thicker threads at regular intervals, which stops small tears from running and keeps the material strong even after rough handling.
