Avoid the headaches! - Everything you need is included with the Freespirit Recreation Evolution V2 and more!
Every legendary journey, every thrilling chase, begins with an insatiable itch for the unknown. As part of the research and development for designing the Evolution V2 Hard Shell Roof Top Tent Freespirit Recreation consulted you - their loyal clients. You spoke, and Freespirit Recreation listened.
But even better, Freespirit Recreation took action and made an upgraded version of the already successful and trail-tested Evolution V1 for the 2023 season. They named it Evolution V2, and hands down, with the new upgrades included, the Evolution V2 is one of the best high-end Hard Shell Roof Top Tents on the market, with plenty of space to accommodate two adults and a child.
With the Evolution V2, you will experience the thrill of exploring nature without sacrificing your comfort or safety. The exterior is a force to be reckoned with, and the lightweight black aluminum frame and honeycomb top are engineered to withstand anything you throw at it, meaning you can take this tent anywhere any time of the year.
The breathable Tri-Layer waterproof RipStop fabric and rigid tent frame are not just designed to withstand the elements and keep you warm, they also offer you a sense of security as you sleep under the stars, or in the howling winds.
The Tri-Layer construction is sonic-welded, moisture-wicking, and Poly-Cotton filled, meaning it works very similar to your premium down jacket, keeping you warmer in the winters and cooler in the summers. It mirrors the resilience of a mountain goat and the elegance of an eagle's flight.
To ramp up and maximize comfort on your trips, Freespirit Recreation’s signature AirFlow ventilation system has been added to the Evolution V2 as well. Now you have the option to cover your interior vents to keep the cold out on those chilly nights or open them to reduce condensation. This will undoubtedly elevate the comfort of your outdoor experiences all year round.
With the Evolution V2’s re-engineered gas strut lift system, setting up and taking down a roof top tent has never been easier. You can have it fully set up in 30 seconds flat, giving you more time to enjoy your adventure and the wonders of nature with your fellow travelers or loved ones.
The redesigned full-length doors and larger windows with continuous zippers provide breathtaking 360° views and loads of fresh air, giving you a true connection with the outdoors any time of the year. They're like nature's widescreen, ready to showcase every mesmerizing sunrise and sunset.
The included AirCore Memory Foam mattress is deflatable and can be adjusted to accommodate how soft or hard you want your sleep to be, and it offers an extremely comfortable and supportive sleeping experience, allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed and energized ready for new adventures. In short, the AirCore mattress has taken outdoor sleeping comfort to another level. Oh, did we mention that when deflated the new AirCore mattress also allows you to store more bedding inside when the tent is closed?
Speaking of storage, the Evolution V2 has internal pockets on every side of the tent to store your smaller items and gadgets. But Freespirit Recreation didn't stop there. Above the side windows, they also added dump storage pockets, which are great for organizing jackets and other larger items. They're like your mini adventure vaults, guarding your gear and essentials.
The built-in dimmable LED light is very convenient for setting the right mood and provides plenty of light to read or for you to plan the next day's adventures, hiking routes, etc. It's also great in case you need to get up at night or if you need to pack your stuff before dawn.
The FSR Evolution V2 is compatible with most cross bars, roof racks, and a wide range of vehicles.
Freespirit Recreation recommends that the Evolution V2 is installed on separate cross bars or a roof rack/bed rack on top of your vehicle or truck bed.
It is important to use cross bars or a roof rack/bed rack that can handle over 175 lbs of dynamic load and has a weight capacity of minimum 750 lbs. The distance between the Evolution V2 Hard Shell Roof Top Tent and the roof rack should not exceed more than 1.5”
So if you ever dreamt of plunging into the heart of untouched wilds in style or kicking back on your epic adventure in cozy comfort like never before, then the Freespirit Recreation Evolution V2 Rooftop Tent is your answer.

United StatesHaven’t been in a big trip yet but have been able to enjoy it up on the ski hill for that mid day break a few times and it is soo insulated it’s really perfect. I can see it has tons of vents for when it gets hot and I need the cool breeze also.
United StatesI’ve had my evolution v2 for 2 weeks. I’ve spent 6 nights in it traveling to LA and TX. Best nights of sleep in weeks. Super easy to set up and put away. LOVE IT!!!
United StatesLooks awesome!! Can’t wait to take out and try it!!
United StatesThis tent is so well built and thought out. You can tell FSR took feedback from V1 seriously and made some great additions to V2. I'm super excited to get this thing out in the field and spend some nights in it, but my first impression in the garage are impressive. My wife and I were it for about 10 minutes and with the doors down you could already feel it warming up. That tri-layer fabric really does work! When I received my tent it had damage to one of the support rails used to attach the tent to the vehicle. I followed Open Road's instructions to report the damage, and Carsten called me within an hour to let me know he was already working with FSR and the shipper to get me a replacement part ASAP. All through the ordering process Open Road has been super fast on communication and bent over backwards to get make sure I am happy with the whole process, well done!
