Reasons To Choose It

Every Gram Justified, Nothing Cut

Ultralite doesn't mean stripped back. Here's exactly what's doing the work inside every UltraLite II.

Reason 01

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
Reason 02

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.

Reason 03

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.

3000mm HH RatingWaterproof Polyester Flysheet
Reason 04

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.

Twin Panoramic SkyWindowsCross-Flow Ventilation
Reason 05

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.

Reason 06

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
Reason 07

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.

Reason 08

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.

Fabric-Lined PolesReduced Condensation
Reason 09

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.

Universal Fitting KitNo Specialist Tools
Reason 10

Grow the setup when you need to

Add the optional Lower Living Annex, Thermal Liner or Storm Cover later — the UltraLite II is a platform you can build a full basecamp around, on your own timeline.

Reason 11

Backed by double the standard warranty

Every UltraLite II comes with a 24 month TUFFTREK® manufacturer's warranty — twice the industry-standard 12 months — plus UK-based support after checkout.

Before You Buy

Every Question, Answered

If you're still weighing it up, this is everything customers ask us before ordering.

Is the UltraLite suitable for cars?+
Yes — this tent was specifically designed for vehicles with lower roof load ratings, making it ideal for cars and lighter SUVs.
What makes the UltraLite different from other soft-top tents?+
Its ultra-lightweight construction, curved roof design, premium materials, and UK-first twin diesel heater ports set it apart.
Can I use a diesel heater with this tent?+
Yes. The UltraLite features twin dedicated diesel air heater ports, allowing safe winter camping setups.
Is it suitable for all-season use?+
Absolutely. The polycotton canvas, rain fly, and heater compatibility make it suitable for year-round adventures.
Does it come with an annex?+
The Lower Living Annex is available as an optional accessory, and is height-adjustable to suit different vehicles.
Is there a Thermal Liner?+
Yes — the optional UltraLite II Thermal Liner even features matching heater ports, so it works alongside your diesel heater setup.
Is there a Storm Cover?+
Yes, the optional UltraLite II Storm Cover is made specially for this model for extra weather protection on exposed pitches.
Do I need a roof rack?+
No. Roof bars running left-to-right are sufficient, along with most roof racks. Our team is always happy to advise if you're unsure.
What's the difference between the 1.3m and the 1.8m XL?+
The 1.3m comfortably sleeps 2 and is the lightest, most compact option. The 1.8m XL gives a 180 × 220cm sleeping area for up to 4, ideal for couples and families wanting more room.
How long does setup take?+
Quick and straightforward, with no specialist tools required — most people are set up in a couple of minutes.
What warranty is included?+

What Customers Say

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.”

Customer Name
★★★★★

“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.”
