Every Gram Justified, Nothing Cut
Ultralite doesn't mean stripped back. Here's exactly what's doing the work inside every UltraLite II.
Light enough for the roof you've actually got
At 63.5kg net, the UltraLite II sits comfortably within the roof load rating of most cars, SUVs, crossovers, estates and lighter 4x4s. You don't need a fully kitted overlander to sleep on your roof.
63.5kg Net WeightFits Cars & Crossovers
Genuine polycotton canvas with BLACK OUT technology
280gsm ripstop polycotton isn't a budget shortcut just because the tent is light. The BLACK OUT canvas technology also keeps the interior darker for longer lie-ins, whatever time the sun comes up.

A flysheet that's actually waterproof, not just water-resistant
The black polyester rainfly carries a 3000mm hydrostatic head rating, so it's rated to handle proper UK rain rather than a light shower on the box copy.

Twin SkyWindows for light, stars and airflow
Two panoramic SkyWindows mean you can watch the stars from bed or let daylight flood the tent in the morning, plus large mesh windows with privacy panels for genuine cross-flow ventilation.

A proper night's sleep, not a camping compromise
A plush high-density memory foam mattress comes as standard — this is a tent you'll want to climb back into tomorrow night, not one you tolerate for a single trip.

The UK's first twin diesel heater ports on a tent this light
Two integrated diesel air heater ports mean genuine winter camping is on the table — light enough for your car, warm enough for a cold night in the hills.
Twin Diesel Heater PortsYear-Round Ready
Lighting and storage built in, not bolted on
Dimmable LED interior lighting comes pre-installed, alongside multiple organiser pockets to keep phones, torches and small gear off the mattress and within reach.

Poles that stay quiet and dry
Fabric-lined support poles reduce condensation build-up on cold nights and keep the frame feeling solid, not flimsy, even though the whole tent is built to save weight.

Up in minutes, no tools, no guesswork
The universal fitting kit and straightforward setup mean quick, tool-free installation on roof bars or a roof rack — arrive late, pitch fast, still catch the sunset.

Trusted By Families & Weekend Adventurers
“PLACEHOLDER — replace with a real review. We nearly didn't get a roof tent because our estate car isn't rated for a heavy one. The UltraLite solved that completely — light enough to fit, still feels properly built.”
“PLACEHOLDER — replace with a real review. Took the 1.8m XL away with the kids for a long weekend and everyone had room to actually sit up and get changed. Setup was genuinely a two-minute job.”
“PLACEHOLDER — replace with a real review. Used the diesel heater ports on a cold October trip and it made a massive difference. Didn't expect that on a tent this light.”
