Why Choose Atacama?
Imagine a tent that not only offers an expansive living space but also a dedicated garage and the ability to compactly pack away. With dimensions of just 21 inches by 10 inches when packed, the Atacama is a game-changer for motorcyclists.
Travelers, even the most minimalistic among us, are laden with helmets, boots, jackets, and more. This gear pile can quickly become overwhelming, especially when travelling two-up. Traditional tents often force you to choose between protecting your gear from the elements or having space to stretch out. Atacama changes the narrative. One of its most luxurious features? The ability to stand up inside. Trust us, it’s a game-changer.

A Closer Look at the Sleeping Arrangements
Before you get too captivated by the spacious garage, let’s dive into the sleeping capacity. Designed for versatility, it can comfortably sleep 1, 2, or even 3 campers.
-
For the Solo Traveler: It’s akin to a twin XL bed. There’s enough room for a camp chair and ample space for your riding gear.
-
For the Dynamic Duo: Picture a queen-sized mattress with space on either side for gear, and individual entry/exit doors. Perfect for couples or close-knit friends.
-
For the Trio: There’s space for three standard pads, with personal items like boots or socks stored in the garage. Need more space? The garage can be transformed into an additional sleeping area. Add a custom-fit ground sheet, and you’ve got a sleepover party!
The Magic of the Garage/Vestibule
The Atacama’s garage is where the magic truly happens. With two opposing doors, you can ride even a full-sized touring adventure bike, complete with panniers, straight into the tent. Not keen on sharing your sleeping space with your bike? No worries. The vestibule is spacious enough for chairs, making it an ideal spot for meals or relaxation. Once you experience the luxury of standing up inside a tent, you’ll wonder how you ever camped without it. And a heads up – your friends will likely want to make your tent the hangout spot.
Technical Specs: The Geeky Details
Worried about getting caught in a downpour? With a 4000mm hydrostatic head, the Atacama is the gold standard in waterproofing. Tents with less than 3000mm on the outer fly are hardly prepared for even a light drizzle. With Atacama, you’re ready for any expedition, come rain or shine.
The Backbone: Poles
The strength of a tent lies in its poles. We’ve sourced the finest aircraft-grade aluminum poles, designed to withstand even the harshest conditions. Pre-bent to reduce stress, they’re built to last, ensuring your tent stands strong, regardless of where your adventure takes you.
In Conclusion
The ATACAMA™ Expedition Tent is more than just a shelter; it’s an experience. Meticulously designed, it’s the perfect companion for those who refuse to compromise on their outdoor adventures. Whether you’re a solo traveler or a group of friends, the Atacama promises space, comfort, and durability, making it the ultimate choice for modern-day explorers.
