Hardshell
Ironman 4x4
Ursa Major
The Ursa Major (IRTT0078XL) is the larger of Ironman 4x4's two Ursa hardshell fold-out tents, opening to an 83 x 83 inch square floor that the maker rates for three to four people. It shares the Ursa 1300's ABS/aluminium-honeycomb shell, star-gazing sky windows and gas-strut deployment, and adds a pre-wired 12V power panel with USB, USB-C and cigarette outlets. It sits on a 2.4-inch high-density foam mattress.
What stands out
- Large 83 x 83 inch open floor rated for three to four occupants
- Pre-wired 12V panel with USB, USB-C and cigarette outlets plus sky windows
- Shares replacement parts with the smaller Ursa 1300
What to weigh up
- Weight is published in imperial only (176 lb), with no metric figure
- No specific setup time is stated beyond an 'under 5 minutes' claim
- Larger packed footprint than the Ursa 1300, so needs more roof space
