Lightweight Inflatable Rooftop Tent Portal Nomis One Debuts on Kickstarter
Portal, a global outdoor gear brand, has announced the launch of the Portal Nomis One™, its first inflatable rooftop tent, via Kickstarter. This tent features an innovative air-beam design and weighs 45.8 lbs, aiming to make rooftop camping lighter and more user-friendly compared to traditional rooftop tents.
As interest in vehicle-based camping and overlanding continues to rise, outdoor enthusiasts are increasingly seeking lightweight and easy-to-use camping solutions. However, traditional rooftop tents are often heavy, difficult to install, and time-consuming to set up. To address these challenges, Portal developed the Nomis One™ after two years of research, prototype testing, and feedback from campers.
The Portal Nomis One™ inflates in as little as 2 minutes using an electric pump for the tent body alone; full inflation of the tent and mattress combo takes about 8.5 minutes. This tent boasts an inflatable air-beam structure that enhances stability while simplifying handling and installation. By utilizing this inflatable design, the Nomis One™ is significantly lighter than conventional rooftop tents, which typically weigh between 120 and 180 lbs.
When packed, the tent measures 32.3 × 17.7 × 15.7 inches, making it compact enough to fit in the cargo area of most SUVs. The fully deployed AeroDeck platform measures 92.5 × 59 × 5.9 inches, allowing it to comfortably accommodate 2 to 3 people with a weight capacity of up to 550 lbs. The Nomis One™ is also designed as a versatile 3-in-1 camping solution, functioning as a rooftop tent, truck bed tent, or ground tent, and is compatible with a variety of vehicles.
Constructed from durable 300D Oxford fabric with a 5,000 mm PU waterproof rating, the tent provides reliable all-weather protection. Portal has chosen Kickstarter to introduce the Nomis One™ to early adopters and gather feedback from the outdoor community. Early backers can take advantage of exclusive launch pricing, offering savings of up to 38% off the standard retail price.
Portal, founded in 2011, aims to simplify outdoor living and has become known for its thoughtful engineering and user-focused designs. The brand holds numerous patents for structural innovations and offers a range of products across North America, Europe, and Australia.
