Cool gimmick.....I like their Mohave and Coyote bags....but any serious rider will chuckle at the idea of sleeping on top of your bike....despite the spindly supports ....

The "Overlander/adventure" marketing terms certainly appeal to gear junkies who most often are urban millenials looking for the best $200 moto-friendly espresso machine..... Tourtech bling conciousness....

Real "adventurers" are willing to sleep on the ground....
in their ride gear...... wondering where they got lost following their gps track....;)

Sissies should not travel Baja. Use that fear shelter for guarded US National Park campgrounds. Good roads bring ...

I have a neighbor with one of those truck top tents. I asked him if it was a hassle having to level the truck whenever and wherever parked. He told me he never even thought about that issue, as he has yet to use it. I'll take my cot, pad, and bag, thank you. Got a 8x7 tent that it all fits in for inclement weather too.
