Thule Foothill 2 – Compact Rooftop Tent with Room for Adventure
The Thule Foothill 2 is a two-person rooftop tent built for adventurers who want a comfortable sleep setup without giving up valuable roof space. Its standout space-saving folded design takes up only half the width of most rooftop tents, leaving room beside it for bikes, kayaks, skis, or a cargo box. For drivers who want to camp and still haul gear, this is one of the smartest roof top tent Canada options in the Thule lineup.
At camp, the Foothill 2 opens into a roomy sleeping space with a 204 × 116 cm sleeping footprint, a 6 cm foam mattress, and large windows that create a bright, airy feel. The weather-resistant soft-shell construction uses 100% recycled solution-dyed polyester, combining durability, ventilation, and lower-impact materials for repeated four-season use. Whether you’re heading out for mountain biking weekends, overland road trips, or quick overnight missions, this compact rooftop tent for 2 makes setup simple and sleeping elevated, dry, and comfortable.
Space-Saving Design for Multi-Sport Trips
The Foothill 2 is designed for active travellers who need more than just a place to sleep. Folded down to only 64 cm wide, it preserves valuable space on your roof rack for extra gear. That makes it especially useful for paddlers, cyclists, skiers, and road trippers who don’t want a full-width tent taking over the entire roof. A symmetrical low-profile design also allows the tent to mount on either side of the vehicle, giving you flexibility depending on your rack setup and load plan.
Comfortable Camping with Fast Setup
The Thule Foothill 2 rooftop tent is built to be quick and manageable, even for solo users. Telescopic internal frame poles simplify setup, while the large panoramic windows, dual skylights, and mesh ventilation panels help reduce condensation and keep the interior comfortable. Inside, four internal storage pockets help organize lights, phones, layers, and small camp essentials so your sleeping space stays tidy.
Durable Materials for Real Weather Use
Built for changing conditions, the Foothill 2 uses breathable, water-resistant 600D polyester ripstop and a welded aluminum tube base with insulation and aluminum cap sheet. Mosquito screens, venting mesh, and exterior attachment points for accessories help it perform well across a wide range of climates and travel styles. From shoulder-season overnights to summer road trips, it delivers the blend of protection, airflow, and packability that rooftop tent users need.
