This isn’t just a tent — it’s a performance tool built for life beyond the bitumen.

More Room to Stretch Out

At 220cm (7 foot) long, the Nova gives you full-leg extension without compromise — finally, a tent that respects tall adventurers. The 140cm width comfortably sleeps two adults, while keeping your roof rack footprint compact and versatile.

A Statement in Performance Design

The aerodynamic wedge shape isn’t just about looks — it’s built to face the elements. The 36.3º roof pitch isn’t just steep — it gives you 137cm of headroom at its peak. And in a James Baroud first, the Nova offers fully roll-away walls and screens for an unobstructed view of the world outside. Stargaze, breeze-catch, and wake up with the sunrise — all from the comfort of your rooftop perch.

Load Up and Head Out

With integrated roof tracks and crossbars, the Nova handles your gear with ease. Surfboards, kayaks, even bikes — just load and go. Need more storage? Optional gear sacks clip to the gutters for added capacity. Inside, your essentials stay secure with dual ceiling nets and cleverly placed hanging pockets.

Comfort, Refined

Wrapped in James Baroud’s exclusive Evolution fabric, the Nova balances breathability with solar deflection, reducing condensation and heat build-up. After 25+ years of global testing, it's proven to handle the harshest elements. The mattress? Same premium high-density foam as every James Baroud tent — because no epic day should end on a sub-par sleep. Also included: a USB-rechargeable military-grade flashlight — because rummaging in the dark is not an adventure.

All Nova tents are constructed with Evolution series aluminized fabric, known for its breathability to reduce condensation and metallic properties that reflect solar rays, this fabric has been tested for over 25 years across the world in the most extreme environments. All included are the James Baroud USB rechargeable flashlight made of military grade aluminum and our signature high density mattress which is used in every tent.
