The Sword is Eezi-Awn's answer to the question: what does a hard-shell tent look like when it's built for families? It's larger than the Stealth or Sabre — 87" long by 75" wide — with a side-hinge mechanism and gas struts that open a hidden platform off the side of the vehicle, creating room for two adults and two children. The aluminum body is matte black, the walls are 280GSM Teflon-coated ripstop, and the floor is insulated. Built in South Africa with over 38 years of hard-shell tent engineering behind it. This is the tent for the family that takes overlanding seriously.

87" L × 75" W 2200 × 2000mm |
15" | 380mm | 56" | 1400mm | 2 adults + 2 children |
SPECIFICATIONS
- Closed Footprint: 87" L × 75" W | 2200mm L × 2000mm W
- Closed Height: 15" | 380mm
- Interior Height (Open): 56" | 1400mm
- Mattress: 2.75" | 70mm high-density laminated
- Wall Material: 280 gram Teflon-coated polyester ripstop (gray)
- Shell: Black aluminum, powder-coated matte black, stainless steel hardware
- Hinge: One-piece side hinge mechanism with gas struts
- Ladder: Patented anodized aluminum XKLUSIV ladder (stores under tent)
KEY FEATURES
- Side-Hinge with Unfolding Platform: The Sword's one-piece side-hinge mechanism opens and then releases a hidden platform that unfolds off the side of the vehicle. This extended footprint is what creates the family-sized sleeping area — a design that works far better for 4 people than a standard clamshell that opens flat.
- Accommodates Two Adults and Two Children: At 87" × 75" open, this is genuinely family-scale sleeping space. Designed specifically for this use case, not retrofitted from a two-person tent.
- Gas Strut-Assisted Setup: One person can set up or break down the Sword. Gas struts handle the weight of the lid. Open in seconds, closed in seconds.
- Under-Tent Ladder Storage: The ladder stores under the tent body when not in use, keeping it clear of the K9 rack system on top and out of the way while driving.
- K9 Track System on Top: Solar panels, load bars, and K9 accessories mount directly to the top of the tent. The Sword's larger roof surface means more usable mounting area than smaller hard-shells.
- National Luna LED Light and USB Port: Integrated interior lighting and device charging — the basics done right.
- Insulated Roof and Floor: Full insulation on both surfaces for four-season comfort. The hard aluminum shell handles weather; the insulation manages temperature.
IDEAL FOR
- Families of four who want a hard-shell tent built for their actual headcount
- Couples who want abundant sleeping space and don't want to feel like they're sharing a coffin at 2am
- Full-time overlanding families who need a tent that handles real use over months, not just weekends
- Travelers who want the fast setup of a hard-shell without compromising on interior room
IN THE BOX
- Sword Hard Shell Roof Top Tent
- XKLUSIV patented anodized aluminum ladder (under-tent storage)
- K9 Roof Rack System (mounted on top)
- National Luna LED interior light
- USB port
- Four-point mounting hardware set
COMPATIBILITY
Four mounting rails on the bottom of the tent fit most roof rack and crossbar systems. The K9 track system on top accepts K9 accessories, load bars, and solar panel brackets. Ships within the contiguous U.S. via truck freight only. Residential delivery available with liftgate service for an additional fee.
