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.

Tons of room
I've seen the redverz tent at every event I've been to. It wasn't till I had to cook in the rain that I saw it's real benefit. It packs a bit big and it's not for the minimalist. At 6'2 I can stand in it and get dressed like a human, it also seems to be the hangout for friends when the weather gets bad. Over all it's a high quality tent with a ton of space that's easy to put up and take down

My 5 Star tent!
Every couple years I seem to buy another tent. I was initially intimidated with the size of the Redverz. However, I'm now a happy camper. I'm getting much faster at setting it up and am around 12 minutes now and that's 9 days into a 5 week 13 State trip. What's cool, is I'm tall and can stand upright in it. I can stow all my stuff (haven't put the bike in yet), change clothes, sit and read too. Another important feature, not a single skeeter has gotten into the big sleeping area. It's costs a bunch, but after a week's worth of tent'n instead of motel'n it, it's paid for itself. Got from the good folks at Twisted Throttle. Oh yeah, I added the sleeping area tarp by Redverz, but just use an 8x8 cheep tarp in the vestibule area. Reason I'm writing this, I'm sure there are those who want more from a tent then struggling in and out of one in the middle of the night. The annoyance factor has dropped considerably.

great space
I bought this before a two week trip - I'm sure if I hadn't it would have rained the whole time and I would have been miserable. As is turned out the weather was great so I didn't get to test it in the rain. I rode an f800gs, and carying the tent was not an issue about 50% of my trip was off road, so not an issue there either. It was great to be able to change standing up, and have the space to just "throw" the bike gear out of sight of other campers. The tent seems really well made (I have owned other top quality tents). Having to stake the tent was new for me, so I was unable to "flip the tent over" to sun dry the floor of the tent before packing it away - I was glad to have brought a painters tarp for use as a ground cloth - kept the tent clean. People were amazed that "all that" came off my bike :).

expsensive tent, well worth the price
I bought this tent for 2 person camping with my wife, she is not into camping at all but this tent made camping okay since their is alot of room inside the tent. Constructuon of the tent is top notch. It packs down small for its actually size. It is a LARGE tent though. Fits perfectly on my bumot r1200gs pannier lid. Its a win in the books for me

Be the envy of the campsite
This is my go tent regardless of how I got there. While it's intended for motorcycle travel, it's just so good I bring it in the truck too. Each time it's up someone inevitably asks me about. Features are amazing. It's built well and keeps you, and your gear, dry!

20 days in a tent
in 2015 I spent 20 riding in Europe. This tent was amazing. The great room in the front was great for preparing meals during rain and great for getting dressed. We had two Kermit chairs and a folding table with plenty of room. The sleeping space has plenty of room for two people. Over all it was easy to put up and easy to pack up.

Easy setup
Overall I like the tent, but only when traveling with others. When on the road alone there are plenty of tents that pack much smaller and weight much less. But I love the height and the privacy of the giant vestibule. As I get older, lying down in a small tent to get dressed in private kind of stinks. But with this tent that is no issue. I found it sets up easy, and stows away easy as well. Plenty of additional guide wires if it's really windy but not necessary every time. I have yet to ever park my bike inside, but that would be really nice in heavy rain, or perhaps when leaving a campsite unattended for a day hike. Seems well built and well thought out.

Great product!
Holy cow! I don't know why I didn't buy this tent sooner. This tent is awesome. Easily room for three adult-sized folks in the sleeping area and lots of gear storage in the 'porch'. It is so much nicer being able to stand up inside my tent to put on clothing/gear without having to bend over or lay down to do so. The tent is water proof and allows great air flow throughout the sleeping space. Set up and tear down takes about 10-15 minutes....but that was before coffee. I purchased both ground groundsheets (one for the sleeping area and one for the 'porch') and they both work effectively. I use this tent for motorcycle camping and although on the heavier side of tents available, it is worth the extra few pounds to not have to crawl around on my hands and knees. Definitely recommend this tent and would purchase it again.
