Freespirit Recreation Unveils the Kali Series: Hybrid Expandable Hardshell Rooftop Tent

The Kali Series redefines versatility with an innovative dual-hinge and gas strut system and an expandable floor that doubles the sleeping space. It’s perfect for couples or families seeking an ultra-roomy, feature-packed camping experience.

Where Spacious Living Meets Unmatched Views

The Kali Series is designed to provide a balance of comfort, convenience, and functionality. Whether camping solo, as a couple, or with family, the expandable sleeping area ensures maximum space to stretch out, while its 360-degree windows create a truly immersive outdoor experience. Whether settling in for a mid-day nap or taking in a breathtaking sunset, Kali ensures that nature is always within sight.

Designed with families in mind, Kali King offers enough room to sleep up to four people, making it the perfect tent for those who want to enjoy the outdoors together.

With the ability to store bedding inside and crossbars included, Kali simplifies setup and makes packing for longer trips more efficient. Its compact footprint is designed to fit most vehicle rooflines without overhang, ensuring compatibility with SUVs and mid-sized trucks.

This allows campers to continue utilizing their rack for additional storage, a game-changer for families needing extra gear space for kids.

“Kali is the newest addition to the FSR lineup, and I’m especially excited about this one. It’s a staple in the industry, but we saw an opportunity to take it further. Our goal was to improve on what worked, refine the details, and bring it to market with the FSR quality and simplicity people expect. True to FSR fashion, Kali is easy to use, built with our premium fabrics, and available in two sizes to fit a wide range of vehicles and camping styles. It’s a go-anywhere, do-everything rooftop tent.” said Ben Tewes, Co-President of Freespirit Recreation.

Kali’s Key Features

• Hybrid Expandable Hardshell Design
• Dual Hinge & Gas Strut System – Provides more interior space than traditional side-opening tents while keeping the closed footprint compact. Its gas-strut-assisted frame allows for rapid deployment and pack-down, making setup and takedown effortless.
• Efficient Expandable Design – Unfolds to double the sleeping area without taking up extra roof space, allowing users to still utilize their roof for additional storage, such as cargo boxes.
• Expansive Windows – The Kali Series delivers an unparalleled panoramic viewing experience with large windows that span each side of the tent, including a unique back-side window that creates unobstructed views from every angle.
• Crossbar Compatibility – Includes integrated crossbars, providing a versatile solution for carrying essential gear, with the ability to keep gear mounted even when the tent is open.

Four Season Protection

• Tri-Layer Insulation – FSR’s patented Tri-Layer technology is strategically placed on the ceiling, windows and doors. FSR Tech Fabric is used everywhere else to minimize weight and maximize packability while regulating interior temperature and keeping campers comfortable in all conditions.
• Integrated Heater & A/C Port – Kali is equipped with two built-in diesel heater ports, allowing users to customize their climate control for year-round comfort.
• Adjustable Window Awnings – Provide coverage from the elements without obstructing your view. Deploy when needed for extra rain and sun protection or tuck away when not in use.

Enhanced Functionality

• Bedding Storage – Room for bedding storage inside the tent saves space in your vehicle and reduces setup time at camp.
• PVC Windows – Allow natural light in while giving the option to close the interior flap for added privacy or to sleep in after sunrise.
• Built-In Storage & Lighting – Dimmable LED lighting and internal organizer pockets keep essential gear within easy reach, enhancing convenience and organization.
• Upgraded Latch System – A newly introduced buckle latch design enhances ease of use while adding a stylish touch. The simple latch allows users to insert the buckle and secure the tent with a velcro strap, ensuring a quick closure.

Available Sizes & Weight

Kali is available in two sizes to accommodate different needs and vehicle setups:

• Kali – Designed for 2-3 people, perfect for below-cab racks on mid-sized trucks or mounting on SUVs without overhanging beyond the vehicle’s roofline. Kali weighs 177 lbs including the ladder.
