The XD Everest is the heavy-duty end of the OVS range: an aircraft-grade aluminum shell on an aluminum honeycomb base, a blackout interior coating and crossbars on top of the shell. Amazon lists 250 lb and 68 × 52.5 × 13 in closed. The OVS page lists the two-person model at 65 × 85.8 × 54 in open, with a 2-inch mattress, 9.4 oz/yd² (320 g/m²) ripstop poly-cotton walls, an 81-inch ladder and about two minutes to set up.
250 lb is a lot of weight on a roof. Plan this tent around a heavy-duty platform rack and check that its dynamic rating covers the tent and anything carried on the lid.
