The Pop-Up Roof Top Tent Reinvented

The Recon Pop-Up Roof Top Tent is a great entry-level 2-person tent for the weekend warrior looking for a bit more comfort compared to the Clamshell type Roof Top Tent, where taller persons sometimes struggle with enough foot space. The Recon offers awesome 360º views through four massive windows, all with the option to zip up the insect mesh to keep bugs out, without compromising the sights nature throws at you from the top of your vehicle. 

With an innovative design that fits the gas struts inside the frame lift system, Recon can be set up in 2 minutes or less by releasing the hidden clasps and giving a slight push to raise the tent to 40”, without having to use a handle to crank it up or down. This leaves you with more time to explore the surroundings, prepare food, or simply enjoy sharing campfire stories with friends and family.

The Recon is an awesome-looking tent too, with its bright orange color contrasting strikingly against the black and gray fabric, it lets everyone in camp know that you have arrived. However, if you are trying to blend into the surroundings or to stay out of sight, you should probably go for a more discrete roof top tent option.

With its good waterproof capabilities and with the structural integrity to withstand all but the most extreme conditions, we would happily use Recon as a three-season tent for shorter expeditions and long weekend adventures. 

Proudly MADE IN THE USA, the Recon Pop-Up Roof Top Tent fits most vehicles with a roof rack or crossbars. This tactical styled Hard Shell Roof Top Tent is amongst the lightest and slimmest on the market weighing in at 135 lbs and measuring only 5” tall. It comes included with a sleeping pad with cover, as well as top crossbars with a load capacity of 75 lbs in transit, perfect for storing extra gear, SUPs, surfboards, etc.

The slim and lightweight design does come at a cost in terms of space. With a sleeping space of 45" this is not a wide tent, which is fine if you like to snuggle closely with your partner. However, if you are a light sleeper, or if two larger persons are sharing the tent you might feel a bit cramped.

Excellent vehicle integration keeps the Recon snug to the vehicle (1″ above the roof) for better aerodynamics, less drag, and wind noise. This helps to give minimum impact to the vehicle’s MPG when using it as a daily driver with the tent fitted and while en route to your overlanding adventure. The Recon comes with basic mounting hardware included.

Three Quick Questions For Carsten

Carsten, who’s that dude?

1. Would you use this tent in the winter, when the temperature is below 40ºF?

If it was only for one night and with a GOOD sleeping bag, sure no problem. But as a 4-season full-time overlanding tent, not unless Badass Tents starts to offer an optional “Winter Hood” insulation kit.

2. What do you like about this tent?

I like the low weight and slim profile, which makes a huge difference if you are fitting it to a vehicle with standard suspension. People often forget how much it changes a vehicle’s stability and safety performance when you change its center of gravity by adding too much weight too high up. You should never ignore or exceed the manufacturer's load restrictions.

As mentioned above the low weight and slim design does come at a price. With a sleeping space only 45" wide you can feel cramped in there if you are two larger persons sharing the tent. If you are just on your own you will have plenty of space in the Recon. As a reference, my wife and I are tiny persons (5,1' and 5.5', both under 140 lbs), and the tent we have been using for our international adventures the last couple of years is 55" wide. But keep in mind that we use our tent for longer trips where you need more space. If you are a weekend warrior, or only go on shorter trips the Recon will do great.

3. What would you change about the tent if you could?

I would upgrade the mattress, but I would do that to almost any tent available on the market, with a few exceptions. I would also install a two-color light bar inside it. One that gives a bright warm white light for when you need good lightning inside at night and have the doors or insect mesh closed. And one red or amber light to find your way in and out of the tent at night, without bringing all the bugs with you. Do that with the white light on and you’ll have a zoo inside your tent in no time. 

Pros:

  • Fast to pitch and to take down
  • A good option for taller people compared to Clamshell type roof top tents 
  • 360º view through 4 massive windows
  • Ladder (optional) and bedding/sleeping bags fit inside when closed
  • The low profile has minimal miles per gallon (MPG) impact when fitted on your daily driver
  • Lightweight 
  • Basic mounting hardware included
  • Optional top crossbars to add additional load space
  • Bright colors make it great if you want to be seen in camp
  • Insect mesh keeps the bugs out while offering good ventilation for those hot summer days and nights

Cons:

  • Bright colors make it hard to blend into the surroundings if you want to camp unnoticed
  • It is a narrow tent (45”), which can make it feel cramped with two larger persons inside
  • Does not come with a comfy mattress included
  • Ladder not included

A total game changer (where were these when I was a teen?!)
Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1)
I honestly wish these had been around when I was younger! The Mighty Patch Original is hands-down the most effective way I’ve found to deal with stubborn whiteheads. Instead of picking at my skin and making things worse, I just pop one of these on at night and let it do the work while I sleep. By the morning, you can actually see the gunk it pulled out right on the patch (gross, but strangely satisfying). It significantly reduces the size and redness of the zit in just one use, and because it covers the spot, it stops me from touching it and causing more irritation. The 72-count pack is a great value and lasts quite a while. They stay put all night, even if you toss and turn, and they’re clear enough that you almost forget you’re wearing them. If you’re looking for a stress-free way to clear up your skin overnight, these are a must-have!

Works on all skin types
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
What an amazing product! I'm in my 40s and still experience occasional acne. I purchased Mighty Patch, and after wearing it overnight, my blemish was noticeably cleared up by morning. I have fairly dry skin and already use quality skincare products both morning and night, so I was impressed by how well it worked. My 17-year-old son also tried one when he started getting a few breakouts, and it cleared up his blemish as well. His skin is much oilier than mine, which shows that this product can be effective for both dry and oily skin types. I’m very happy with the results and will definitely be purchasing it again!

Works as expected! Good value
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
I bought these because I ran out of Curology patches that I got with the free trial. These work similarly; you’ll need one or two patches to fully get rid of the pimple— it depends on how large & inflamed it is. Even if you need two the first patch will still a do a good job of draining most the gross fluid out. I like that these are more translucent/transparent than some other brands I’ve seen. They’re not obnoxious looking if you’re wearing one or two in the daytime. The adhesion has been great so far. I’ve tried it on bare and moisturized skin and either way it holds up. Once it’s been stuck in place for a few minutes you can apply a moisturizer on your face OVER the patches without them slipping off. Just use a gentle touch. There’s probably cheaper pimple patches from smaller brands but $4.49 (before tax) is definitely a reasonable cost for 30 patches So I gave it 4 stars for value for money. My only qualm is that the small size pimple patches could stand to be at least slightly bigger. Only new closed comedones that are just forming are that small (typically). Otherwise I’m satisfied with this purchase.

The Best for Sensitive Skin & Smells Great!!
Scent: Refreshing, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Scent: Refreshing, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I've purchased this body wash (Awakening) a few times now, because I love it so much! I have my whole family using it, even my child with eczema, and it's really helped her skin. It leaves our skin feeling fresh, nourished, and soft with no irritation. The liquid soap is clear and has a not-too-thick consistency. It lathers well, and I’ve had no issues with leakage. I love that it's free of so many harsh chemicals and is infused with organic and natural ingredients like aloe vera and tea tree oil. It has a wonderful earthy, invigorating scent from the camomile, geranium, and copaiba. You don't need to use much since it's a little more concentrated, and for its generous size and quality, it's worth every penny! I would highly recommend this body wash to anyone looking for a clean, refreshing, and effective body wash!

Best body wash
Scent: Lemongrass, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Lovely body wash that cleans without stripping your skin dry. Fragrance is light and not overpowering. One pump is more than enough for head to toe clean. Would recommend to anyone.
