Aluminum structure, breathable fabric, and Sky Light opening. Optimal ventilation and quick installation for a high-end travel experience.
You will have at your disposal:
The 160L is right for you if you are looking for a spacious, protective rooftop tent suited for living around the tent. At 65 kg, it fits a very wide range of cars, 4x4s, vans... and allows you to enjoy a more generous space for travelling with several people, while improving comfort thanks to its protective roof overhang.
The 160L is very well suited:
Yes, it is really suitable for a family, with its 155 cm x 235 cm sleeping area it can accommodate up to 2 adults and 2 small children on top as well as 2 additional people thanks to the annex. The 160L makes perfect sense if the goal is to prioritise both comfort and living around the rooftop tent.
Conversely, if your use focuses mainly on a simple sleeping spot for a daily change of campsite, with a more compact tent, the 140S or 160S will better match your expectations.
The main advantage of the 160L lies in a more family-oriented philosophy, more focused on comfort and quality of life around the campsite when planning to stay 2 to 3 days in the same spot.
With its protective roof overhang, it already allows setting up a table and three chairs with a living space under the tent, even without the annex.
In summary:
Yes, with its 7.29 m² annex, the 160L goes well beyond the role of a simple rooftop tent.
It is ideal for:
The 160L is an excellent choice for those who want a relatively lightweight and more affordable rooftop tent than a hardshell. At 65 kg, it remains easier to mount on a wide range of cars, vans and 4x4s.
The Taiga Pro (90 kg) and Taiga Z (95 kg) go further on certain comfort aspects, with faster opening and closing, fewer operations and a panoramic terrace to better enjoy the campsite. However, this higher-end positioning also comes with a higher price and a greater weight constraint.
The choice is mainly based on the experience you want to have while bivouacking.
The 160S is designed for those who want to keep it essential: a spacious, lightweight, compact tent that is quick to fold.
The 160L will be more relevant if you are looking for more comfort with the same space plus a roof overhang, meaning a setup better suited to family life.
The Taiga Z / Pro is aimed more at those with a higher budget who want a hardshell with terrace, a real time saver in daily handling.
In other words, it is not just about price, but also about travel rhythm, desired comfort and vehicle compatibility.
The Aluminum Foldable Rooftop Tent Series 160L is a high-end model designed to offer comfort and practicality during your outdoor adventures. This product is part of the premium range, ensuring exceptional quality and optimal durability.
What’s the difference between the 160S roof tent and the 160L roof tent?

- The 160S has an annex sold as an accessory with 3.84 m² of floor space, while the 160L has an annex of 7.29 m².

The Swisskings brand fabric is tested and certified by SGS, offering an exceptional balance between breathability, comfort, strength and durability when facing harsh outdoor conditions.
Technical fabric specifications:
- Material: The fabric used is a technical textile S320 made from synthetic fibers, featuring a ripstop reinforcement structure (10-point plaid) and a functional coating.
- Waterproof rating: 10,000 mm water column, ensuring complete protection against rain.
- Exceptional breathability: 1,164.2 g/m²/h, allowing internal moisture to escape and preventing condensation.
- Water Repellency Spray Test: Score of 95/100 (AATCC TM22-2017), guaranteeing excellent water repellency.
- UV resistance: Rated 4.5/5, providing effective protection against prolonged sun exposure.
- Free from harmful substances: Compliant with environmental regulations and guaranteed phthalate-free.
A value of 10,000 mm means that:
👉 In practical terms:
The Water Repellency Spray Test measures a fabric’s ability to repel water. With a score of 95/100, the Swisskings fabric effectively repels water and ensures a dry interior, even during heavy rainfall.
For a rooftop tent, the Spray Test verifies that:
This high value indicates the fabric’s ability to evacuate internal moisture. The Swisskings fabric can transmit approximately 1.164 kg of water vapor per m² per hour, and nearly 28,000 g/m²/24 h.
Unlike many rooftop tents on the market, Swisskings fabric has been independently tested by SGS according to the JIS L 1099:2021 (Method B1) standard.
This level of performance places Swisskings fabric among the very high-end outdoor materials, comparable to certain benchmark membranes, while retaining all the essential qualities required for a rooftop tent:
Some phthalates are classified as CMR substances (carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic) or as endocrine disruptors. As they are not permanently bound to plastics, they may gradually migrate into the air, dust or through direct contact.
Swisskings has developed a PVC-free technical fabric, compliant with current European regulations (REACH) and free from phthalates classified as SVHC.
The materials used for Swisskings rooftop tents have been tested using gas chromatography (GC), a reference analytical method allowing precise identification and quantification of regulated substances.
Test results show a level of 50 mg/kg, while the limit set by the European Union is 1,000 mg/kg, meaning a value 20 times below the authorized threshold.
This compliance ensures safe use, including during prolonged use in confined environments such as a rooftop tent, and within a family setting.
Swisskings prioritizes materials that meet European standards to ensure an optimal balance between performance, durability and user safety.
The base is designed with a sandwich panel featuring an aluminum honeycomb core, ensuring:
The Series 160L Tent is equipped with a TPU protective cover, an innovative material offering increased weather resistance.
⚠️ Note: The anti-condensation under-mattress, thermal insulation, and annex are sold separately.
