The wait is over for stargazers and outdoor adventurers everywhere.
We’re officially announcing our upcoming spring 2026 line-up of the Sky View XL Gen2 and Backpacker Gen2! ⛺️
The new Sky View XL Gen2 and Sky View Backpacker Gen2 models are also now open for pre-order, offering fans the next evolution in outdoor sky-watching comfort and innovation.
At Sky View, every tent is designed with one mission in mind: to give campers an unforgettably immersive experience with the night sky. The Gen2 series builds on that vision with thoughtful engineering updates from our lead tent designer and founder, Joe Bissonnette. The Gen2 designs feature enhanced visibility, comfort, storage and all-weather 3-season protection. Joe managed to accomplish all that without compromising the open-sky experience that made the original Sky View a favorite among hikers, astrophotographers, and families alike.
Don’t ask us how he did it, but there ARE some who think it might have involved help from outside our galaxy. 🛸 👽
What’s New in the Gen2 Stargazing Tent Lineup ✨
-
Internal Rainfly Access – Easily deploy our patent-pending rainfly in seconds without stepping outside your tent.
-
Dual Vestibules – Improved space for gear and better wind performance.
-
Enhanced Ventilation – Optimized airflow even when the rainfly is fully closed.
-
Upgraded Materials & Design – Stronger materials and a more aerodynamic design for truly impressive resilience in the elements.
Here’s what Joe has to say: “Sky View has always been about connecting people with the wonder of the night sky. With the Gen2 models due out this spring, we’re taking that connection even further. By combining our signature crystal-clear roof experience and rainfly technology with smarter functionality and refined design, campers will have true all-weather protection and the best views of the cosmos of any tent on the market.”
