Men's Journal tested the TOPOAK Galaxy Light hardshell rooftop tent, priced at $1,318. The tent weighs 152 pounds, has a closed height of about 4 inches, fits under standard garage doors, and sets up in under three minutes. Testing took place in the North Carolina mountains, Cape Lookout, and a Virginia farm; the tent withstood rain, wind, and temperatures in the low 40s °F, but is three-season only and lacks no-see-um mesh.
