CVT Mt. Hood Small
#28 in Hard shellFull review
A quick opening aluminum clamshell for a solo camper or a couple who wants a hard shell that rides low and keeps gear inside. It is very heavy, so check the roof load first.

Pros
- Low 6.5 in closed profile cuts wind noise and helps with garage clearance
- Doors on three sides and a 67.5 in peak make it easy to sit up and get in and out
- Side T-slots and an optional crossbar kit carry bikes or boards on top
- Built-in dimmable lights and an anti-condensation mat come with it
Cons
- At 180 lb it needs a strong roof or rack; check the dynamic load rating and follow the maker’s mounting instructions
- Out of stock at Yakima and special order elsewhere
- No published waterproof rating or sleeping capacity
