DARCHE RIDGEBACK ROOF TOP TENT

For ultimate rooftop comfort and premium build quality, the DARCHE Ridgeback series sets a new benchmark in hard shell roof top tents. As the flagship of DARCHE’s range, the Ridgeback is built into a sleek aluminium shell that delivers durability, function, and stunning aesthetics in one rugged package.

Engineered with an aerodynamic profile, the Ridgeback minimises wind drag and keeps your vehicle’s overall height low—making it a practical solution for lifted 4WDs transitioning between the outback and the city. With German-engineered Stabilus gas struts assisting setup, the tent opens and closes smoothly with minimal effort. A quick flick of the latches transforms the Ridgeback from a compact shell into a fully functional home away from home in seconds—no help required.

Inside, the comfort is second to none. A 55mm high-density memory foam mattress with a removable cover and water-resistant base is paired with a 10mm high rebound anti-condensation mat, giving you a supportive and dry night’s rest even in humid or damp conditions. Integrated USB-powered LED lighting ensures reliable visibility after dark, and it’s been laboratory tested to meet all Electro Magnetic Compatibility and user safety standards, giving you peace of mind wherever you camp.

Ventilation is built into every corner of the design. With a removable fly, strategically placed air vents, three large entry points, and a zippered sky window, the Ridgeback ensures airflow is maximised and condensation is kept to a minimum—even when the rain sets in. The premium 280gsm Ripstop Polycotton Canvas offers impressive protection, rated to 3000mm for water resistance and equipped with automotive-grade rubber weather seals, internal seam taping, and reinforced stitching to keep you dry in prolonged wet weather.

Mounting is straightforward with the included brackets, which suit most commercially available flat roof racks and rail systems. For added functionality, optional roof rail accessory kits allow you to carry gear on top of the shell, expanding your storage capabilities without compromising space inside. As with all rooftop setups, it’s important to confirm the load rating and compatibility of your roof rack and vehicle prior to installation, and professional fitting is recommended through your local 4WD centre or Darche dealer.

Whether you're planning a quick weekend getaway or a full-on remote adventure, the Ridgeback is designed to handle whatever you throw at it, with the style and dependability you’d expect from Darche’s most advanced roof top tent yet.
