The Armadillo Horizon 3 is the three-person size of 23ZERO's side-opening aluminum hard shell, for up to three adults or a couple who want more room.

A 14 GA fully welded aluminum shell opens high on a gas-strut hinge, with an integrated front hoop in place of rainfly poles. Inside are a 2 in self-inflating mattress, ECO13B fabric with LST, a 12V/USB-A/USB-C power module wired to an Anderson SB-50 plug, a heater/cooler port for up to 5 in ducting, a 36 × 22 in skylight, a 59 in LED light bar and a ten-pocket gear loft. T-slot roof rails carry 22 lb. Sleeping area is 83 × 68 in, and it weighs 246 lb with rails and ladder.

Backed by 23ZERO's 2-year limited warranty, and we ship it free within the contiguous U.S. Mounts to crossbars or a rack rated at or above the tent's weight.

Your Basecamp, Anywhere

Your Basecamp, Anywhere

Mounted on a truck at the trailhead, the Horizon 3 turns any parking spot into a basecamp for multi-day backcountry runs.
Open and Ready to Camp

Open and Ready to Camp

Popped open and standing tall, the hardshell converts from road mode to a full sleeping setup fast enough to squeeze in one more mile before dark.
Room to Stretch Out

Room to Stretch Out

The extended footprint gives a full-size sleeping platform, room enough for gear, layers, and a crew settling in after a long day on the trail.
Home for the Night

Home for the Night

Backed into camp and fully deployed, it's the kind of setup that turns a random pull-off into tonight's stop.
Locked Down for the Drive

Locked Down for the Drive

Closed up low and aerodynamic, it rides quietly on the highway until the next trailhead turnoff.
Easy Entry, Day or Night

Easy Entry, Day or Night

The wide entrance makes climbing in after dark or ducking out for a sunrise hike simple, with no fumbling required.
