Up next ROCK ‘N’ ROLL: Aftermarket Off-Road Wheels Published on April 11, 2022 Author Tread Staff Tags adventure, camping, gear, Overland, overlanding, roof rack, Roofnest, tent, tenting, TREAD, Tread Magazine, Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 Product Spotlight: Roofnest Falcon 2 Thinner, sturdier, and more comfortable than its predecessor. The Roofnest Falcon 2 takes all the elements that made the Falcon their bestselling tent, and upgrades them to even loftier standards. Astonishingly thin at just 6.5 inches closed, the sleek aerodynamics of the Roofnest Falcon 2 offer even more energy efficiency. A newly designed top shell reduces condensation by sandwiching two sheets of aluminum around an insulating foam layer, and a familiar honeycomb aluminum-constructed bottom shell is now equipped with a pair of accessory channels that can withstand up to 75 pounds of gear.

The tent material is an upgraded 320g poly-cotton canvas with a blackout coating on the inside that makes for the perfect sleeping cave, while a removable awning provides weather protection at all three entrances. Comfort is not sacrificed with an improved mattress that provides 2.5 inches of true memory foam. Using the optional crossbars allows for even more gear and toy carrying capacity. The Reviews are In. Usually, thinner and lighter is synonymous with flimsier, but that’s not the case with the Roofnest Falcon 2. In fact, reviews on this impressive set up include many testimonies highlighting how solid the Falcon 2 is, even in adverse weather. One reviewer noted that even in the high winds of the Nevada Desert, the Falcon 2 held up easily against 30-40 miles per hour winds. While other campers had to sleep in trucks as their tents failed, the Falcon 2 allowed for a fitful night sleep, and piece of mind. Another declared that the Falcon 2 was “rock solid” in the wind! Other overlanders rave about how well the Falcon 2 holds up on long trips, and in cold weather. The Roofnest Falcon 2 is also a great option for anyone who struggles with tearing down and setting up tents! Learn more by visiting Roofnest online.
