The ATACAMA™ Expedition Tent
Why Atacama? The revolutionary design offers more usable space, a separate garage and packs small. It’s considerably more tent for just 21 inches x 10 inches packed and on a motorcycle that's a big deal. Even a minimalist traveller rides with a helmet, boots, armored jacket and pants. This alone is a huge pile of gear to store, and if you’re riding two-up that's double the load. If you sleep in anything less than a 2-person tent that gear has got to stay outside in the elements, or it comes in leaving you with little room to stretch out and get truly comfortable. Stop compromising. The Atacama is so thoughtfully designed you can even stand up inside, and if you didn't already know, standing up inside a tent is life-changing.
Stand Up Inside. Packs to 21" x 10" and Weighs 14 pounds.
SLEEPING
Ignore the gargantuan garage for a moment. We know, it’s so spacious. Let’s start with capacity. The tent sleeps 3 but is designed for all configurations of 1, 2 or 3 campers.
SLEEPING
Real world - how big is the bedroom?
1 Up - Think twin bed XL with a bed side camp chair and your riding gear generously spread about the room.
2 Up - A queen size mattress with ample space either side for your gear and your own unique entry/exit door.
3 Up - Pack it all in. Plenty of room for three standard pads but personal gear, like stinky socks and boots will store out in the garage. Need even more capacity? Use the garage area for additional campers. Throw a custom fit garage ground sheet down and invite a handful of friends to sleep over. That’s functional, versatile design at its best.
GARAGE/VESTIBULE
This is where it all happens in the Atacama Tent. The two opposing garage doors taper up from the bottom so you can ride any size full touring adventure bike with panniers straight through and park inside. If sleeping with your bike is not your thing stretch out and park chairs instead for coffee or meals. This vestibule is huge. One thing you'll have in common with other Atacama owners, you never knew how much you wanted to stand up inside a tent until you could. Consider yourself warned, your friends will all want to hang out here.
TECH
Let’s get all geeky for a moment. When a storm comes through and that deluge of rain hits rest easy, our tents are waterproof. To be more specific, at 4000mm hydrostatic head we set the gold standard. If your tent specs have less than 3000mm on the outer fly, it’s not expedition quality and barely useful for half hour of light drizzle. Read some of our testimonials to understand why we take this so seriously.
POLES
Good poles are the difference between a round-the-world trip and a failed weekend music festival. We source and build the finest aircraft grade aluminum poles available. We have pre-bends in ours, so finely designed they have already been contoured to reduce the stress on them. Whatever your trip brings these are designed to bring you home.
ATACAMA ACCESSORIES - Complete your Atacama set up with custom fit groundsheets for the sleep area and garage or a 50 liter dry bag to stow it all away.

Atacama tent review
After two weekends camping I wanted to give a quick review. First of all the people I have communicated with at Redverz have been great. They are passionate and seem to really enjoy their work, and took extra time to share personal stories and tips about the gear which they also us on a regular basis - such as how to pack the tent, etc. The first night we were out it rained and we stayed dry. The garage area kept all of our gear dry and gave us a comfortable place to put on shoes and change, etc. After a couple tries the tent is really easy to set up. Our 1st try was about 45 minutes total including guy ropes, now we are down to about a ten minute set up and ten minute take down. I have the tent, garage floor, and sleep floor mat. All of them fit in the 50 liter dry bag with room to spare. When packing the tent I take the pole bag and roll it up inside the tent, and it is also okay to leave the protective mats attached to the tent while you roll it up. We have not gone motorcycle camping with it yet but that will happen before summer is over. Speaking with Kevin at Redverz, I am following his suggestion. I'll have side panniers on my bike, but not a top case. the 50 liter dry bag will fit nicely across the back of the seat of a KLR650 or lengthwise, leaving the panniers for all my other camp gear.

Redverz Atacama
Great tent and excellent Redverz customer service. After enjoying it in Tuscany Italy, it will soon be our 'cabana' in the high mountains of the Pyrenees in Aragon, Spain.

It is the stand out at all the campgrounds I visit
Mike used to piss me off with his tent. It was much larger than mine, we could stand up in it and he somehow managed to put it up and take down in less time than my little crawl into three man tent was set up or stowed. He runs with the Atacama three man tent. Two years ago I did the Ride to the Sun in Montana and spent a couple of days in Whitefish Montana. I arranged with your company to send me the same tent to a UPS drop in Whitefish and have been running with the tent ever since. It has been across western Canada, Yukon, Northwest Territories and southern Alaska, Skagway and Haines. It is the stand out at all the campgrounds I visit. Many fellow motorcycle tour riders recognize your tent. I am quite proud to show them your tent and destroy the myth of your high price. I carefully show the finer points, the careful design points and quality work. I also show how the tent practically sets itself up. You produce a quality tent well made and I thank you for it.

Atacama Tent
The best tent I have ever owned. Ease of set up, packs to right size on a bike. Been in torrential downpours and me, my gear AND my bike have stayed snug and dry. My favorite way to sleep is to use the screens on both big doors of the sleeping area so I can look out at my bike. The sleeping area stays nice and ventilated and I slept like a baby. Some might think you're crazy to spend this much on a tent. Don't think twice or second guess. Do it. You won't regret it.

I just needed to write to tell you how much we love the Atacama tent.
I just needed to write to tell you how much we love the Atacama tent. I took a group of 8 on a motorcycle camping trip to Alaska last summer and after a lot of research bought and recommended your tent. 2 of the other couples followed my recommendations and purchased the Atacama Expedition tent. The other did not. Needless to say, we all LOVED the tent. It went up and down quick and easy, the garage was great to store our gear nice and dry, plus a great place to be able to get out of the sleeping quarters, still be private and be able to dress as needed. The garage fit a table and chair for us! (It was dry and warmer than the outside). The couple that didn't purchase... well, they had to replace their tent half way through the trip after a catastrophic failure.

love this tent
I have been admiring this tent at rallies for quite awhile. I have been camping my whole life and have finally become tired of crawling an my hands and knees in small backpacking tents. This tent is like a stadium inside. I only wish I had ordered it sooner. Very high quality and well thought out features. Watched all the videos on the website on setup and found them helpful. My only complaint, if you can call it that is better detailed info on how to pack this tent up neatly with less effort.
