Naturnest
Polaris Plus
The Polaris Plus is an aircraft-grade aluminium clamshell tent rated for two adults and a child, with a strut-assisted shell the maker says opens in under 10 seconds. It uses a 5 cm three-layer mattress, a W/R 5000 canopy said to block 99% of UV, an LED light strip and multiple storage pockets. Naturnest lists a 12-month warranty alongside a 3-year durability guarantee but does not publish dimensions or weight.
