FAQ
1. What makes the Taiga Z unique on the hardshell rooftop tent market?

The Taiga Z completely rethinks the use of a rooftop tent by transforming it into a true panoramic living space. Thanks to its Z-opening, both sides open to the same height, creating:

  • A 360° rooftop terrace
  • Two distinct zones (front/rear)
  • A completely open sense of space

You no longer simply sleep up high: you live up high.

2. What does the Z-design allow in everyday use?

The Z-design allows you to organise the tent as a true structured living space. In practice:

  • One area can be dedicated to relaxation (reading, resting, enjoying the view) with the canvas and mosquito net open
  • The other can remain secured (mosquito net closed) for children, while still maintaining an opening to the outside

The identical height across the entire surface allows:

  • Smooth movement throughout
  • Simultaneous use of multiple zones
  • A sense of space comparable to a small terrace

A tent designed for indoor/outdoor living.

3. Does the roll-up canvas allow you to sleep in the dark and stay protected?

Yes. The system has been designed to offer both openness and protection, depending on your needs.

  • When the canvas is rolled down, it provides complete darkness for comfortable sleep
  • It also ensures full protection against the elements (rain, wind)
4. Can you enjoy the view and sleep under the stars while staying protected?

Yes. Positioned on the outside of the canvas, the mosquito net allows you to stay protected from insects while maintaining a complete opening to the outdoors.

  • You can sleep with just the mosquito net to enjoy the Milky Way without visual obstruction
  • Or open it entirely during the day to transform your rooftop tent into a true terrace on your vehicle

An experience rarely possible with a conventional rooftop tent.

6. Do the annex and awning attachment systems provide real added value?

Yes. The annex and the fixings for an awning or shower tent allow you to transform the Taiga Z into a complete living solution, like all tents in the Swisskings range. They allow you to add ground-level space and create different living zones:

  • Equipment storage
  • Additional sleeping areas
  • Dining or cooking area
  • Shower area

You go from a simple rooftop tent to a truly structured and functional campsite.

7. Can you carry equipment on the Taiga Z?

Yes. Like the Taiga Pro and Taiga 13 cm models, the Taiga Z can be fitted with upper roof bars for carrying equipment.

Capacity:

  • 100 kg while driving (tent closed)
  • 15 kg when stationary, tent open

This capacity when open is suited to lightweight equipment, while maintaining stability and ease of use.

8. Taiga Z or other rooftop tent: what difference in experience?

The main difference is not technical – it is in the experience.

  • A conventional tent: is for sleeping.
  • The Taiga Z: creates a space for living / observing / sharing / enjoying.

It is a far more immersive approach to the bivouac experience.

Please note: at 95 kg, the Taiga Z requires a vehicle capable of supporting this load dynamically.

9. How does the Taiga Z handle condensation?

The Taiga Z combines the revolutionary, highly breathable Swisskings fabric with an open design that promotes natural and continuous air circulation.

Thanks to its opening on two sides at the same height:

  • Air flows freely
  • Moisture does not build up
  • Comfort remains stable, even in humid conditions

Result: a healthier interior, with moisture management enhanced by the very design of the tent.

10. Who is the Taiga Z designed for?

The Taiga Z is designed for travellers who are not just looking for a place to sleep, but a true observation point and elevated living space. It is particularly suited to:

  • Nature photographers and imaging enthusiasts
  • Wildlife observers
  • Hikers and travellers who enjoy spending time contemplating their surroundings
  • Families who want a more structured and immersive space
  • Those who love to observe, share, contemplate and fully enjoy the place where they camp

Pop-up roof to increase interior volume

The Z-shaped platform system optimizes interior height, providing a generous sleeping volume and easy opening and closing. The pop-up roof can be opened simply by pushing by hand, while the hydraulic struts assist the opening. To close it, you can use the interior handle or the two removable straps. These straps are detachable and help you adjust the desired opening height. They also assist when zipping the mosquito net and allow you to reduce the height of the pop-up roof in windy conditions.

Fully rollable canvas and mosquito net

Transform your rooftop tent into a comfortable terrace and sleep under the starry sky, protected by the external mosquito net.

Adapt your Taiga Z Series according to your day, the weather and the season:

  • By keeping the interior canvas completely closed, allowing you to nap or enjoy long mornings thanks to its opacity and black color. You can open the canvas windows, and the mosquito net, strategically positioned on the outside, ensures perfect protection against insects.
  • By unzipping and fully rolling up the interior canvas, the mosquito net continues to protect you while you admire the starry sky and enjoy the gentle summer evening breeze. Sleeping under the stars above your vehicle—what an experience, what a feeling of well-being!
  • By unzipping and rolling up the mosquito net as well, you feel both inside and outside, with a 270° view of the surrounding landscape. Your rooftop tent then becomes your terrace for pure enjoyment. You can relax, focus on your favorite activities such as photography, reading or family games, while enjoying the extraordinary setting you have chosen for your bivouac. It’s magical!

Advanced fabric technology – patented unique system

The Taiga Z Series fabric is tested and certified by SGS, offering an exceptional balance between breathability, comfort, strength and durability when facing harsh weather conditions.

Fabric technical specifications:
- Material: The fabric used is a technical textile S320 made of synthetic fibers, featuring a ripstop reinforcement structure (10-point plaid) and a functional coating.
- Waterproof rating: Water resistance of 10,000 mm, ensuring total protection against rain.
- Exceptional breathability: 1164.2 g/m²/h, allowing internal moisture to escape and preventing condensation.
- Water Repellency Spray Test: Score of 95/100 (AATCC TM22-2017), ensuring excellent water repellency.
- UV resistance: Rated 4.5/5, ensuring effective protection against prolonged sun exposure.
- No harmful substances: Compliant with environmental standards and guaranteed phthalate-free.

What does a 10,000 mm water column mean?

A value of 10,000 mm means that:

  • the fabric can withstand the pressure exerted by a 10-meter-high water column

  • without allowing water to pass through

👉 In practical terms:

  • 10,000 mm = heavy rain + wind

  • pressure far greater than standard vertical rainfall

  • level considered highly waterproof for outdoor textiles

What is the Water Repellency Spray Test?

The Water Repellency Spray Test measures a fabric’s ability to repel water. With a score of 95/100, the fabric of the Taiga Z Series effectively repels water and guarantees a dry interior, even during heavy rainfall.

Why is this test relevant for a rooftop tent

For a rooftop tent, the Spray Test verifies that:

  • water beads and runs off the fabric,

  • the fabric does not saturate quickly,

  • breathability remains effective (less saturation = less condensation),

  • comfort is maintained in light to heavy rain.

Why is breathability of 28,000 g/m²/24 h essential?

This high value indicates the fabric’s ability to evacuate internal moisture. This means that the Swisskings fabric can transmit 1.164 kg of water vapor over 11 m² of fabric in 1 hour and nearly 28,000 g/m²/24 h (28 kg of water vapor over 1 m² in 24 hours)!!!!

Unlike many rooftop tents on the market whose breathability is not quantified according to an international standard, the Swisskings fabric has been independently tested by SGS according to the JIS L 1099:2021 standard (method B1), with water vapor transmission measured at nearly 28,000 g/m²/24 h.

This level of performance places the Swisskings fabric among very high-end outdoor materials, comparable in moisture evacuation capacity to certain reference membranes on the market, while maintaining the essential qualities required for a rooftop tent:

    • Thermal comfort: Prevents heat and humidity buildup.
    • Optimal ventilation: Reduces condensation and keeps air fresh.
    • Always dry interior: Ideal for humid climates.
    • Weather protection
    • Durability
    • Wind resistance.

Why a fabric free from harmful substances is essential

Some phthalates are classified as CMR substances (carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic) or as endocrine disruptors. They are not permanently bound to plastic, which explains why they can gradually be released and end up in the air, dust, or through contact with the material.

We have developed a PVC-free technical textile, compliant with current European regulations (REACH) and containing no phthalates classified as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).

“Is the Swisskings tent fabric safe for health, especially for children or during prolonged use?”

The materials used for Swisskings rooftop tent fabrics have been tested by gas chromatography (GC), a reference analytical method used for the identification and precise quantification of regulated substances. The test can detect compounds at very low concentrations (mg/kg), ensuring a reliable assessment of regulatory compliance.

The analyses show a content of 50 mg/kg for the regulated substances, while the limit set by the European Union is 1,000 mg/kg. This corresponds to a level 20 times below the allowed threshold, providing a wide safety margin.

This compliance ensures that the fabric can be used safely, including during prolonged use, in confined environments such as a rooftop tent, and in a family setting.

Swisskings prioritizes materials that comply with current European standards in order to ensure an optimal balance between performance, durability and user safety.

Advanced base platform technology

The Taiga Z Series base platform is built using a sandwich panel with an aluminum honeycomb core, ensuring exceptional performance.

Base platform technical specifications:
- Material: Sandwich structure with aluminum honeycomb core, 100% recyclable.
- Lightweight: Easy to handle and install.
- Rigidity: Ultra-strong and highly resistant structure.
- Resistance: Excellent resistance to fire, corrosion and impacts.
- Stability: Withstands pressure, torsion and mechanical stress.

Why a thickness of 22 cm?

Thanks to its 22 cm thickness, the tent allows you to leave thermal insulation, duvets and pillows in place when closing, offering comfort with no compromise and simplified packing.

Practicality and Comfort

  • 1 telescopic aluminum ladder (max 230 cm), removable thanks to a quick-release fastening system allowing removal in a single operation.
  • 1 rain fly Oxford 400D polyester fabric, waterproof rating W/R 3000 mm
  • 1 high-density mattress (30), 7 cm foam thickness, supplied with a cotton cover for optimal comfort.
  • 2 pre-mounted aluminum bars spaced 60 cm apart to connect the tent to the vehicle’s roof bars. Quick and simplified installation.
  • 2 heating ports allow connection of an external heating duct.
  • 4 hydraulic struts assist opening and closing.



Opening and closing

  • Innovative hydraulic system.
  • Opening time: 10 seconds.
  • Closing time: 60 seconds.
