The Sabre is Eezi-Awn's most compact hard-shell — designed for two people, engineered to minimize the roof profile while maximizing what matters inside. At just 15" closed, the Sabre has a side-hinge one-piece mechanism with gas struts that opens the tent in seconds. What I appreciate about it is the intelligence of the design: the ladder stores underneath the tent rather than on the side, freeing up roof space. Add in the K9 track system on top, a National Luna LED, a USB port, and a 2.75" high-density laminated mattress, and this is a complete, no-compromise two-person system that's been tested on every major continent.

• Mattress: 2.75" | 70mm high-density laminated
• Wall Material: 280 gram Teflon-coated polyester ripstop (gray)

KEY FEATURES

• Side-Hinge One-Piece Mechanism: The Sabre opens from the side via a single integrated hinge and gas struts. Setup is genuinely seconds — unclip and push. The entire mechanism is engineered and manufactured at Eezi-Awn's South Africa facility.
• Under-Tent Ladder Storage: The Sabre's ladder stores below the tent body, keeping the exterior profile clean and freeing the top surface for the K9 rack system. It's a smarter use of space than side-mounted ladder storage.
• K9 Track System on Top: Solar panels, load bars, Maxtrax, and K9 accessories mount directly to the top of the closed tent. The Sabre doesn't just sit there — it works as part of your roof system.
• National Luna LED Interior Light: Same brand that makes the fridges we trust. The LED is properly integrated into the interior roof, not an afterthought clip-on.
• USB Port and 12V Ready: Charge devices from inside the tent without running cables through zippers. The Sabre is wired for the way people actually camp now.
• Insulated Roof and Floor: Both panels fully insulated. The hard aluminum shell handles precipitation and wind; the insulation manages temperature swing across seasons.
• YKK Zippers: Every zipper on the tent is YKK. Low-temperature rated, reliable in cold and heat. This is the detail that separates tents that last from tents that fail in the field.

IDEAL FOR

• Two-person teams running tighter roof builds where vertical profile and aerodynamics matter
• Overlanders who want the hard-shell convenience of seconds-to-open setup without the Stealth or Sword's larger footprint
• Travelers who want roof carry capacity above the tent via the K9 system
• Anyone who's done enough camping to appreciate the difference between a USB port that works and one that doesn't
