The Hybrid That Changes the Category
The Basin delivers the spacious, livable interior of a soft shell with the strength and instant setup of a full aluminum hardshell. A flat sleeping platform wide enough for two adults and more usable interior than any hardshell in its class.
At 135 pounds it is the lightest full aluminum platform hybrid RTT in its class.
Built for Space. Not Just Sleep.
Most hardshells get you off the ground. The Basin gives you somewhere to actually live. A flat platform wide enough for 2-3 adults, 53" of interior height when open, and self deploying panoramic windows so the view doesn't stop when you climb in.
Hard Days Deserve Good Nights
Hard days deserve good nights. The Cedar Goat packs a 2" high-density memory foam mattress, blackout canvas, and panoramic windows wherever the trail ends. Wake up rested. Do it again tomorrow.
Optional clip-in insulation keeps even the coldest nights warm.
No Shortcuts. No Composites.
Full aluminum alloy shell, top and bottom. No composites, no shortcuts. Engineered to take washboard roads, mountain weather, and years of hard use without complaining. 280g poly-cotton canvas with a PU5000 waterproof rating handles whatever the mountains throw at it.
A Smarter Base Camp
A built-in power management system keeps your devices charged and ready. Dimmable LEDs let you dial the mood from dinner to bedtime. The integrated diesel heater port and optional insulated walls keep even the coldest nights warm.
Your Gear Is Already Sorted
Interior storage pockets and two hanging cargo bags keep gear off the platform and in reach the moment you need it. Optional crossbars mount directly to the shell to carry bikes, traction boards, and rotopax without a rack rebuild.

Two to Three adults. The full-platform interior is flat edge to edge with full sitting headroom for campers up to 6'6".
