HANOVER, GERMANY – 13 April, 2026

Global outdoor tech company Dometic announces the launch of its newest design in camping: the Front Runner Feather-Lite II Rooftop Tent. Designed for adventurers who prioritise both agility and comfort, this hugely improved rooftop tent offers the ultimate freedom to sleep wherever you park your ride.

The Feather-Lite II is a significant evolution in mobile basecamps, engineered to be one of the lightest and most compact rooftop tents currently available.

Weighing only 49 kg (108 lbs) and featuring an ultra-low 32 cm high closed profile, it minimises wind resistance without sacrificing internal tent space. Its universal design ensures a perfect fit for almost any vehicle or rack system, from compact SUVs to camping or overlanding favourites.

Key Features of the Feather-Lite II:

Rapid Setup: The intuitive design allows users to go from parked to campsite-ready in moments, then unzip, unlatch, unfold, and extend the flexible telescopic ladder.

Improved Rain Management:  A redesigned overhang provides a sheltered, rain-protected entry and exit point.

Enhanced Comfort & Visibility:  Features a high-density 6cm quilted foam mattress, two additional internal storage pockets, and a signature stargazing panel for night-sky visibility.

Rugged, Weather-Ready Build:  Constructed from waterproof and UV-resistant 400D polyester flysheet with a 2000 mm water column rating, ensuring protection in harsh environments.

Optimal Airflow: Window spring poles greatly improve ventilation and views from within.

Flexible Flysheet System: Includes quick side-release buckles for easy removal or attachment.

Extra Storage Space: Additional floor space is perfect for storing shoes and other items.
