Redverz Atacama Expedition Motorcycle Tent — Green
The Atacama is a motorcycle expedition tent built for riders who go places.
Not a weekend warrior tent. Not a glamping setup. A purpose-built shelter designed around a full-size adventure tourer — panniers, luggage and all — that sets up solo in under five minutes and holds its shape when everything else is moving.
It's currently running in the Simpson Desert in Australia, through sub-Saharan Africa, across South America, and on routes through Europe and North America. Riders use it because it works. Because it's still working 14, 15, 16 years later. Because when the weather turns, it doesn't.
This is the tent you buy once.
The Garage
Two opposing J-doors open wide enough to ride a full-size adventure tourer straight in. Panniers on. No unloading in the rain. No gear left outside.
Standing headroom throughout. Use it as your living room, your workshop, your drying room. When the weather closes in, this is where you eat, plan, and wait it out.
It's not a vestibule. It's a room.
Sleeping Bay
Rectangular floor plan. Vertical walls. Enough space to sleep three, use cots for two, or spread out solo with room for gear.
Separate entry and exit doors mean two riders never have to climb over each other. Flow-through ventilation runs air from one end to the other — essential in heat.
Configurations
— 1 Up — full space to yourself. Gear stays inside. No compromises.
— 2 Up — queen-size footprint. Separate doors. Each rider has their own exit.
— 3 Up — tight but workable. Move gear to the garage bay.
Built for Real Weather
4000mm hydrostatic head on the fly. 10,000mm on the floor.
To put that in context: most camping tents rate between 1500–3000mm. The Atacama's floor rating is more than three times that — because when water pools around a tent in a storm, the floor is where it gets in.
Factory-sealed seams throughout. Bathtub floor construction. This isn't expedition-grade waterproofing as a marketing claim — it's what you need when the weather doesn't care about your schedule.
The Frame
Aircraft-grade aluminium poles, pre-bent to shape. The hoop design creates vertical inner walls — that's what gives you the headroom and the structural integrity in high winds.
Flexible enough to absorb gusts. Rigid enough to hold shape through the night. The frame is why this tent is still standing after 15 years of hard use in the hands of people who ask a lot of their gear.

Fantastic tent.
For the last few days, I been using my new Redverz tent. My trip consisted of varying weather conditions; from gusty winds, thru cold rainy nights, to sunny and warm temperatures. I really appreciate the roominess, and the clever design that allowes you to stand up inside and have extra space to sit and be covered from rain or sun. In one word it's simply awesome, practical and worth every penny. It is easy to pitch and packs into a small bag for storage. Definitely a great product, and once you owercome the price shock it will become your best tent you ever owned.

Great tent
Just received my tent and went camping for it's maiden voyage. The first thing i did was to, forget the instructions at home. :) I had watched Kevin on You Tube, so set up only took a few thoughtful minutes. My only real challenge was not knowing how to wide to stake the guide lines.I figured that out shortly and really enjoyed the outing and all the room inside. I'm headed North to Dawson City , and other Alaskan towns in two weeks. I'm confident this was a good choice of tents. Ride On

Great Tent Design
I've been looking at buying this tent for 3 years. I finally did it. Doesn't matter if to have a motorcycle. It's still a nice set up for additional sleeping room, dry storage, storing motorcycle or getting out of the rain. It's nice to use the awning kit for extra shade when it's hot. I purchased awning kit and 2 ground cover sheets. The tent sets up easily and comes down the same. It rolls up and easily fits bag into storage bag. Fits easily on my Suzuki Vstrom and will fit on any bike. I am 51 and enjoy a larger tent with good storage room and enough height to stand. Don't wait like I did. BUY IT!!

RedVerz Tent Review
If you want the perfect camping tent for a couple, or single, and need it to fit on a motorcycle, get this one. Although not a pop-up or self-standing tent, it is worth the time to erect it. I will never need another tent except for my one-man pop-up for really light loads and solo travel. The room in this tent is wonderful! While advertised as a place to park your bike, I carry a light bike cover and use the "garage" as living space. You can set up a small table and chairs, etc., in the non-sleeping compartment, store all of your gear, and get dressed in stand-up comfort and total privacy. I plan to custom cut a light ground cover for the non-sleeping section, making it even more liveable. This tent is the best there is for a couple, or for multiple-night stays. Practice pitching and and packing it at least once before you go. It will become very easy fast.

worries for the future
I'm worried that the elastic door tie-backs will fail after some time. I would rather they be nylon.

Redverz tent
Nice tent. Zippers are less than first quality. Nice tent stakes but are short & won't hold in soft soil. Sound like I'm nit-picking? I expect more from a three season tent for a $500.00 bill. If it wasn't for the garage, I'd shop elsewhere.

Ecxellent Motorcycle Tent
I have owned this tent [the Series II] for a couple of seasons, but I only got to use it this summer and it was great! I went on a trip on my Enfield Bullet 500 and I loved it! I didn't have to worry about my bike. Just a glance away! I opened it, unpacked it and set it up the time I got it, just to see/admire it and make sure everything was there.

AMAZING ROOM TO WEIGHT RATIO
I have owned this tent (Series II) for a couple of seasons now. Although I don't use it nearly enough, once you learn how it goes up you will love it. The first time I put it up to stay in it (i did a dry run in the back yard first) it was dark and because I had it upside down, it was a bit of a challenge to erect. Note to self: put the tent up BEFORE opening the beer. But once I figured it out, the next time was much easier. I am so impressed by how much room the tent has for how light it is and small it compacts down. Other riders look at you like you are crazy to be carrying such a large tent, but once they see how compact and light it is, they usually get "Redverz envy"

This tent is the BEST!
Bought it and never looked back. This tent is the BEST! Cold, rain, heat, or high winds are no match for the Redverz Series II Tent. Plus with a serious amount of real estate at your hands, the options on how to use it are endless. I could not be any happier. It has never failed me and I look forward to many more trips with it. As far as the price I am OK with it, a few skipped nights at hotels and it paid for its self. Having it with me on my trips gives me a sense of security knowing that I have over 90 sq foot of space that is up to 6’4” tall I can call home for the night.
