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.

Beyond Expectations
So far, I've been camping out of this tent for little over a month straight in Texas and I can't help but be impressed by it (despite already having an idea of how good it was from a friend's experience with his own Redverz tent). Setup is easy and can be accomplished solo without much effort in fair weather. It took me no more than a half hour for my initial try and more of that time was spent on familiarizing myself with how each step was supposed to work before I did it rather than on the build itself. With four anchor points, three color coordinated flex poles, and a prearranged guy line setup, the build really is suprisingly manageable for a tent of its size. Capacity is excellent; I'm able to cram my XR650L with panniers, mountain bike, and 65gal cooler in the vestibule area and still have just enough space to set out my camp chair and relax comfortably if weather outside is uncooperative. The sleep area is also roomy; I've got an oversized cot/sleeping gear, couple pieces of luggage (including gorilla box), and tools/camp gear in there with enough left over space to still move about/change clothes without much restriction (other than that I'm 6'5" and do still have to crouch a bit at the tent's tallest points; not really any fault in the tent's design so much as my own physical peculiarity...). Even more impressive than how much stuff I can stow away in this tent is its defiant ability to ride out whatever foul weather Texas throws at it. With only modest vegetation/cover to partially shield the tent from the west and north, my belongings and I have remained completely dry through two storm systems now (hail included), even as the tent's structural integrity is tested almost daily by batterings from a frequently windy environment (commonly sustained between 20-30 knots with gusts up in the 40+ range on rougher days). Granted, there may be a few additional provisions in place to aid its survival in such conditions (two 4x6 tarp covers up top for hail resistance and additional guy lines/larger anchoring stakes for stability) but, all the same, when a tent this size/shape can repeatedly shrug off such abuse (at broadside angles, even!) and remain standing just as intended, the durability more than speaks for itself as far as I'm concerned (still can't quite figure out how I haven't bent a pole yet...). One side note; since this tent's entire outer structure is rain fly material, the interior is a literal green house. If the sun is out and the the tent isn't opened up and getting some breeze, it gets toasty (nice on cold days; less than tolerable on days 70-80*F or warmer). In exchange for the supurb wet weather defence this tent provides though, I'd say its more than a fair tradeoff. Final conclusion: this tent is worth every penny I paid for it and I recommend it hands down to anybody in the market for a spaceous, manaeable, and thoroughly dependable tent; hardcore motorcycle adventurer or not.

Alaska Trip (Plus)
I bought this tent in the yellow color to start with. The problem was as soon as the sun came up it was very bright inside, and I was not ready to get up. I found some manufacturing issues with the tent. I took it to the distributor, and it was swapped out for the green version. That is customer service. Three of us ride together, and now all three have the tents. Two of us have the older version without the additional vents, and one has the newer version. Two of us camped all the way to Alaska and back. It was nice to be able to put the bikes inside, out of the view of "prying eyes" in the campgrounds. The only issue we had was in putting up the tents when they were still wet from the night before. The poles were difficult to get in place. Others were envious of our cooking space, when it rained. The other issue I have is the back vestibule. It is pretty much wasted space. Against the zipper access is just abou the only place my cot and sleeping bag will fit. On the newest version the vestibule has been eliminated, if desired, and the sleeping area has been enlarged. I would like to see a modification be made available to the older tents to accomodate the new modification without having to purchase a complete new tent. I contacted the company via email and was told I was not able to convert my tent. So the reason for not giving the tent 5 stars are: 1. Poles difficult to insert if the material is damp at all. 2. Rear vestibule is wasted space.

As advertised
My first use of this tent was in Spearfish, SD. The first night provided a torrential rainstorm, with high winds. I stayed dry and comfy. The large interior and garage provided plenty of space to stay out of the rain and enjoy the time. The camp manager, (a hunter), was very interested in how the tenor performed. You may another customer.

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.
