When the call of the wild strikes, your gear should help you answer fast. Clamshell rooftop tents (RTTs), such as the Kabari series from 23ZERO, offer an unbeatable combination of speed and comfort—perfect for spontaneous road trips and lengthy escapes alike. Here’s why these hardshell wonders are revolutionizing adventure travel.
With lightning-fast setup, these tents let you make camp in under two minutes—ideal when daylight is fading or weather rolls in. The durable hardshell design not only protects against the elements but also reduces wind drag on the road. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful touches like light-blocking fabric, plush self-inflating mattresses, and integrated storage. Built for overlanders, weekend warriors, and off-grid explorers alike, Kabari tents turn your vehicle into a comfortable basecamp wherever you roam. It’s time to simplify your setup and amplify your adventure.
Clamshell RTTs open in seconds, not minutes. Just release the latches and lift—no messy poles to assemble. The Kabari Pro’s self-inflating 3″ mattress inflates itself, while the shell’s internal frame pops out, ready for sleep or stargazing.
This time-saving design is a game-changer, especially after a long day on the trail. You can pull into a scenic overlook, pop the tent open, and be bed-ready in under two minutes. No struggling with rainflys or fiddly zippers in the dark. Even better, the sturdy clamshell stays secure in windy conditions and sheds rain or snow without sagging. Whether you’re setting up for one night or an extended stay, the convenience means less work—and more adventure. Plus, the minimalist setup reduces wear and tear over time, helping your gear last longer.
The Kabari line combines a rigid aluminum shell (in the Pro) with ECO13B fabric and reinforced heat-sealed seams. Add Light Suppression Technology (LST) for blackout sleep, and you’ve got a shelter that stands up to wind, rain, and early-morning brightness.
The fabric is not only weather-resistant but also environmentally conscious, made from recycled materials that don’t compromise on strength. The high-tensile seams are precision-sealed to prevent leaks, even during prolonged downpours. With LST, you won’t be forced awake at sunrise—it blocks out nearly all exterior light for deeper rest. Wind flaps are kept to a minimum to reduce noise, and the tent’s aerodynamic profile keeps it stable even in harsh gusts. Whether you`re camped by a mountain ridge or lakeside in a storm, Kabari keeps you dry, warm, and well-rested.
23ZERO Kabari models—like the compact 3.0 wedge, larger 2.0, and XL variant—stay sleek on the road, minimizing wind drag. Inside, the expanding frame in the Pro model adds headroom, including panoramic windows and multiple entries for airflow and views.
This thoughtful design not only improves fuel efficiency during travel but also enhances livability once parked. The increased headspace makes it easy to sit upright, change clothes, or relax without feeling cramped. Multiple zippered entries allow for flexible setup, cross-ventilation, and easy access—no matter where you’re parked. Mesh panels keep bugs out while letting breezes in, and the clear skylight panels are perfect for stargazing from the comfort of your bed. Each variant is tailored for different rigs and group sizes, ensuring there’s a Kabari fit for every kind of explorer.
3″ self-inflating mattress for quick comfort.
Integrated LED lighting brightens up your space without extra lanterns.

Awning brackets let you create extra shaded space for lounging or cooking.
Dedicated gear loft pockets help you stay organized, so essentials are always within reach.
A telescoping ladder makes entry and exit safe and simple—even in the dark.
Heater and cooler vents allow for climate control, making it a year-round camping solution.
Pre-installed mounting rails make adding solar panels, storage boxes, or recovery gear seamless.
Magnetic closures on fabric windows and doors reduce fuss and noise in windy conditions.
And with all that, setup and teardown still only take minutes—meaning more time exploring, less time fiddling with gear.
From the fully TIG-welded aluminum shell on the Pro to durable ECO13B recycled-fabric walls across the range, Kabaris are built for longevity. Premium zippers, seals, and reinforced hardware ensure this tent not only travels well—but lasts.
The hardshell exterior resists dents, UV damage, and road grime, while the internal components are designed to endure frequent setups without degrading. Even the hinges and gas struts are heavy-duty, offering smooth, reliable lifts time after time. All seams are double-stitched and heat-sealed to prevent water ingress in extreme weather. The ECO13B fabric maintains colorfastness and structure over years of exposure, unlike lower-grade alternatives. Owners report that after dozens of trips, their Kabari still opens and closes like new. With proper care, it’s a one-time investment that delivers thousands of miles of shelter and peace of mind.
Need a fast overnight shelter during a cross-country drive? Or a few weeks of basecamp bliss in the backcountry? 23ZERO Kabari RTTs are optimized for both. They fold up in less than half the time of a soft-shell tent and still feel like a plush, protected retreat after dark.
