I was in the market for a mid-range weight roof top tent for my Outback and came across this bargain. I did some research and it appears to be a great quality tent by all accounts and should us last a long time. Nobody else I looked at was even close to this price, if they even had stock.

The Yakima SkyRise HD Medium is a premium 4-season rooftop tent built for adventurers who demand durability, comfort, and reliable performance in all conditions.
Constructed from 600D Ripstop polyester with a waterproof PU coating, the SkyRise HD is designed to handle harsh weather, providing excellent resistance against rain, wind, and UV exposure.
