The 23Zero Armadillo Horizon sets a new benchmark in luxury rooftop tent hardshell innovation. With inspiration pulled from the Kabari PRO, Armadillo X, and Armadillo A, the Horizon merges sleek, aerodynamic design with the most popular features that matter most to overlanders and avid campers. It’s a 14 GA fully welded aluminum shell with rounded corners that looks sharp and offers trail-tested toughness and weather protection year-round.

This left-side-opening luxury rooftop tent features a high-opening gas-strut-assisted hinge for quick, easy setups and takedowns. The new design eliminates the need for front rainfly poles—replaced with an integrated hoop for simple rain coverage. Inside, enjoy 360° views through oversized windows (two 40” x 23” side windows, a 28” x 30” door, and a 43” x 7” rear window), plus a 36” x 20” skylight for stargazing.

Built for superior sleep, the Armadillo Horizon includes a plush 3″ self-inflating mattress with dual fill ports, allowing more interior space for bedding. ECO13B fabric with Light Suppression Technology (LST) creates a cool, dark retreat, even on bright summer mornings. The luxury rooftop tent also includes a built-in USB LED light bar (white, amber, and blended modes), bug mesh for all openings, and weather canopies for protection and airflow.

Storage is another Horizon strong point. From the overhead six-pocket gear loft and bedside storage to the dual hanging organizers and built-in boot bag, there’s a place for everything. A dual T-slot rail system on the roof supports 50 lbs of gear like solar panels or recovery gear, while the power module—featuring 12V, USB-A, and USB-C ports—connects via pre-wired AP-50 Anderson plug.

The Armadillo Horizon is designed for vehicles of all sizes—from crossovers to full-size rigs—and comes ready with a preinstalled ladder, window poles, gear bags, snow pole, and mounting kit. It’s the total package for anyone who overlands and camps hard but wants to sleep like a king.

 

Key Features

  • Comfortable Sleeping Experience: Two and a half (2.5) inch self-inflating mattress offers excellent comfort and support with dual fill ports for easy inflation and top off—plus, it compresses easily to allow room for bedding during transit. Interior bedding storage keeps your gear stowed inside the tent so you’re always ready to roll (pump not included).
  • Fast, Simple Setup: Gas-strut-assisted hinge system delivers lightning-fast deployment and takedown—perfect after a long day on the trail. Front rainfly hoop design replaces spring poles, making setup even easier while maintaining weather protection.
  • Superior Climate Control: 23Zero ECO13B fabric with Light Suppression Technology (LST) keeps your sleeping area cooler and darker, minimizing sun exposure so you can sleep in longer. Integrated heater/cooler port accepts up to 4.5” ducting and includes a locking drawstring sleeve—perfect for running a diesel heater or portable A/C system.
  • Unmatched Views & Ventilation: All windows feature weather canopies and bug mesh, providing airflow without sacrificing protection or privacy. 360° visibility and airflow with oversized mesh-screened windows.
  • Integrated Power & Lighting: USB LED light bar (43”) with dimmable white, amber, and blended modes creates the perfect ambiance (power supply not included). Power module with 12V socket, USB-A, and USB-C ports wired to a preinstalled AP-50 Anderson plug at the front right corner for easy power access (cable to power source not included).
  • Smart Storage Solutions: Overhead gear loft (38” x 22”) includes one clear tablet pocket (13” x 9”), one large mesh pocket (13” x 9”), and four smaller mesh pockets (11” x 9”). Two bedside storage pockets (11” x 5”) and head/foot pockets (7” x 7”) keep essentials within reach. Included boot bag (15” x 22”) with dual shoe compartments and a hanging gear bag (15” x 22”) with five organization pockets to store gear off the ground and out of the way.
  • Rugged, Aerodynamic Design: 14 GA fully welded aluminum hardshell is trail-tested for strength and durability while staying lightweight. Rounded corner design reduces wind resistance and road noise while adding modern aesthetics. Preinstalled ladder and mounting kit make setup on a wide range of vehicles quick and easy.
  • Tent-Top Utility:  Dual adjustable T-slot roof rails (41” x 2.75”) offer a 50 lbs load capacity—perfect for solar panels and more.

 

Horizon’s Full Kit Includes:

  • Four (4) window poles with storage bag – 32.75” long
  • Four (4) mounting plates
  • Eight (8) sliding mounting plate sets (plate, bolt [M8 1.25 – 2.5”] , washer, nylock nut [13mm])

  • Small repair kit
  • Spare parts bag
