Aspen Lite – Ultra-lightweight, simple setup

Lightweight rooftop tents usually feel flimsy and have little to no amenities. Aspen Lite combines the comforts of a full hardshell rooftop tent, with the benefits of an ultra lightweight rooftop tent. Low-profile, hybrid top packed with full Tri-Layer, insulated tent skin and much more. With a 51° opening angle (compared to the standard 35° opening angle) for noticeably increased interior space and headroom, Aspen Lite offers superior creature comforts and design prowess like the upgraded memory foam mattress and static u-bar for setup in under 30 seconds. Aspen Lite practically floats at only 110 lbs. A groundbreaking ultralight rooftop tent appreciated by everyday explorers and weekend warriors alike.  If you like a minimal approach, lightweight attributes, and simplistic setup of hard shell tent while introducing a industry-leading design, this one is for you.

1. Condensation elimination

Not only does the aluminum open, cross-slat floor contribute to weight savings,  it’s a superior design that allows the tent to breathe. We paired it with strategically located venting to virtually eliminate condensation.

2. Mount accessories

Single channel extruded aluminum allows you to mount crossbars, shovels, traction boards, lightbars, rotopax, and more.

3. Intentionally armored

To provide an insulating factor for all seasons and prioritizing the compact, lightweight design, patented Tri-Layer armors the entirety of this rooftop tent.

4. Gas-strut assisted

Effortlessly deploy you tent once you arrive to camp. Designed to live on the inside so when you're not using the tent, they're protected and not vulnerable to catching tree limbs or accumulating dirt.

5. Integrated protection

The entire tent body is completely waterproof. The integrated rainfly serves as an extra layer of security and shielding from the sun.

Tonneau-style top

Using the Tonneau-style material as the roof of the Aspen Lite was our answer to building an ultralight model that lives up to our rigorous standards of longevity while remaining 100% waterproof. 

Not only is it lightweight, but the 600D ripstop oxford is the same material relied upon to withstand road wear, weather, and abrasion for years on end as a truck bed cover.

True, 4-season tent

Our patented Tri-Layer technology works like a canteen to strategically fortify the entire tent where heat would otherwise seep in when it’s hot and escape when it’s cold.

FSR Tri-Layer insulated tent materials are 100% waterproof to keep you dry always.

    Totally changed our ability to camp in the humid Southern summers. The combo of the Tri-Layer with an EcoFlow Wave 3 have meant we can keep the tent at 67 degrees and the Wave doesn’t even have to run continuously. Our UZJ100 also really appreciates the lighter weight and you can really feel how much better the handling is compared to our previous tent that weighed in at 250 pounds. So this set up is 150 pounds lighter in total and 6 inches shorter than before. Absolute game changer. The guys at FSR have also been top notch with customer service and being available to answer any and all questions.

    Best tent I’ve had.

    I’ve had several tents over the years, and the Aspen lite XL has been the best without a doubt.

    It’s lightweight, comfortable, and the sun won’t wake you up. Couple this with FSR’s amazing customer service. There’s no reason to wait. Just buy it. You won’t regret it.

    Best in Class!

    We love our Aspen Lite XL! It's an awesome RTT with high quality materials compared to others on the market. It's so spacious that we think we would have been fine with the standard size. We haven't spent too many nights in it yet but so far it's been very comfortable. I wouldn't go back to my Gazelle after having an Aspen.

    Just a heads up for those on the fence like I was between the Lite or the regular Aspen V2. If I could go back pre-purchase, I'd buy the Aspen V2 and buy their awning brackets. Don't underestimate the difficulty in mounting a simple thing like an awning onto your roof rack when you have a tent on top as well. It's not easy! Sure, it's doable, but I'd far rather mount directly to the tent with quick release brackets than have to deal with mounting awning brackets directly to the rack again.

    Now the not so nice part and reason for 4 stars not 5. What a pity that they didn't go with an angled steps ladder. Anyone weighing over 150lbs is going to feel it when the climb up and down the ladder which really sucks because there are other much cheaper in price and obviously quality RTTs out there that come with a ladder that has angled steps. Also, the fixed placement of the shoe bags which many others have complained about. Other than that tent rocks.Now FSR just needs to listen to their customers and get a better ladder and make the shoe bag placement optional like the ladder.

    I really enjoy this roof top tent, I was on the market for a while doing my research and the biggest selling point for me was the weight - coming in around 100 lbs this had to be the one for me. The inside has so much headspace and the LED light inside is so bright! Overall, the people at FSR really put their research to work and it shows. The only thing I wish was that the shoe bag can be placed accordingly to where I put my ladder which is on the side.

    Very happy!

    Just spent 5 nights in my Aspen Lite Standard in Yellowstone NP, and I absolutely loved it! Temps were just below freezing at night - I did notice a very very thin layer of condensation on the interior, even with the top vents and top corners of the doors open, but it was gone by the time I’d get back to the campsite. It was very easy to setup and take down, and the mattress is very comfortable, even for a side sleeper! The only downside to this tent is that the shoe storage bags can only attach at the back of the tent, which might work fine for some vehicles, but the design of the crosstrek wilderness doesn’t allow for using the ladder at the back. Overall though, I’m really happy with the aspen lite and definitely recommend it!

    Aspen Lite

    The team at FSR were amazing, they helped lift the tent onto my rack and gave me suggestions for the best way to attach the tent to my rack. The tent is super easy to set up and is amazingly comfortable. Especially the air mattress. During the winter the diesel heater ports will be very much appreciated. The tent is very well designed and extremely well made.

    Insulation, comfort, aesthetic and usability are 10/10

    The Aspen Lite XL is without reservation the best RTT I've owned. The insulation keeps us very comfortable in low temperatures, and surprisingly also keeps the tent comfortable in the morning sun that typically turns other tents into a greenhouse.

    We love the integrated dimmable light and storage panel, they make the tent feel organized and spacious. Would highly recommend picking up a pump to inflate/deflate your pad to make pack up easy.

    Aspen Light Standard

    I checked out a lot of other RTT's and after reading all the positive reviews for FSR, I decided to go this route. I was going to go with another company that is really popular, but there were a number of bad reviews of their costumer service. Best about FSR vs others: 1) I schedule a phone appointment, and they answered all my questions, 2) Ordering was easy and painless, 3) Received my RTT in a timely manner, 4) Had questions about some things with installing and setting up my Aspen Light. I connected with costumer service several times by phone and email, and they were very helpful in getting me set up and on the road with my new RTT. That right there is monumental, IS COSTUMER SEVICE, and they did not disappoint!

    Aspen Lite XL

    Amazing tent!! Kept me warm throughout the cold 40 degree summer nights in the Colorado mountains! Lite enough where I don't even feel it on my truck driving! Looks amazing and keeps the sunlight out in the mornings so that I can sleep in. I am 5"5 and I think it fits just right for me. If you are any taller I'd recommend testing it out at HQ in Golden prior to purchasing. Overall a great tent with high quality material, very happy with the tent! Thanks FSR, great customer support throughout the purchasing process.

    I love everything about this tent. Easy to set up and take down. Super comfortable with the air core mattress and warming blanket. The lights on the inside are so convenient along with the gear storage on the roof and corners.

    First time owning a roof top tent

    I’m extremely satisfied for the overall buying experience. I first had questions before I bought the tent. A representative was very informative and answered all my questions. I also reached out about shipping after I placed the order and FSR responded very quickly. I received the tent in perfect condition and within 10 days of placing the order. I haven’t used it yet but will definitely follow up with an additional review but from what I can tell the quality is excellent. Looking forward to trying out the aircore mattress. Thank you!

    Breaking Ground

    Me and my wife love our Aspen Lite we spent every night the first week we got it and that’s saying something because my wife gets cold very easily and with that Tri Layer material it’s amazing we can’t get enough of it and the tent is light we hardly know it’s on our 4Runner and aesthetically matches and adds to that look we like, we’re gonna be breaking ground to new adventures and new camping locations while showing our little ones a different way of camping haha

    Perfection

    The Aspen Lite has everything I’ve been looking for in a RTT. The third time really is a charm! I liked my two previous tents, but they didn’t suit all of my needs. I downsized from a Roofnest to an Inspired Overland, which was too small. The Aspen has the perfect footprint and inside comfort. It’s cavernous inside.

    FSR always makes the best warm tent

    Prior to Aspen Lite, I have owned the Odyssey and the High Adventure Tents. They were all good for cold and hot weather. Aspen lite is same Tri-layer makes it comfortable inside with black out. I like the design of high ceiling and makes the tent inside roomy. Best of all, I can mount the tent all by myself.

    Aspen Lite Sei Edition

    Love the look & feel of the high end materials used. The lights on the interior and storage spaces on the interior of such a small light weight tent are ingenious. Will not make my SUV feel top heavy.
