Armadillo AX3 – Aluminum Roof Tent for All Season Adventure

23Zero Armadillo AX3 Roof Tent

The 23Zero Armadillo AX3 roof tent redefines the outdoor camping experience, offering a blend of rugged durability and luxurious comfort for all-season use. This aluminum roof tent is designed to withstand the harshest environments while providing a cozy and spacious retreat wherever your adventures take you.

The side-opening design is deployable in the right or left-side configuration, making it adaptable to various vehicle setups without compromising aerodynamics. Its gas-strut-assisted X-frame allows for rapid deployment and pack-down, saving you time and effort after a long day on the trails. The raised X-frame design not only provides 18” of headroom but also enhances 360-degree views through large 45” x 19” side windows, optimizing ventilation and visibility.

Inside, the Armadillo AX3 roof tent features a generously sized sleeping platform – wider than a queen and just shy of a king (68” W x 80” L) – providing extra room to stretch out without the bulk of a full king. A 2” open-cell foam mattress and anti-condensation mat deliver superior comfort. ECO13B fabric with Light Suppression Technology (LST) keeps the interior cooler and darker, allowing you to sleep in past sunrise. Additional touches include a clear rainfly window for stargazing, built-in dimmable LED lighting, and internal organizer pockets to keep your essentials close at hand.

The Armadillo AX3 is engineered with durability in mind, featuring a robust aluminum shell and heavy-duty latches to protect against rain, snow, and dust. A preinstalled roof rack allows you to mount solar panels or recovery gear. With ample internal storage, including a boot bag and ladder cover with additional compartments, this roof tent offers convenience for overlanding and camping. Looking for something smaller? The Armadillo AX2 may be exactly what you’re looking for.
