LOS ANGELES, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Portal, a global outdoor gear brand dedicated to making adventure more accessible, today announced the launch of Portal Nomis One™, its first inflatable rooftop tent, on Kickstarter. Featuring an innovative air-beam design and weighing just 45.8 lbs, Nomis One™ makes rooftop camping lighter, faster, and easier than traditional rooftop tents.
Rethinking Rooftop Camping
As vehicle-based camping and overlanding continue to grow, outdoor enthusiasts are looking for lightweight and easy-to-use camping solutions. However, many traditional rooftop tents remain heavy, difficult to install, and time-consuming to set up.
After more than two years of research, prototype testing, and camper feedback, Portal developed Nomis One™ to address these challenges with a lightweight inflatable design that delivers convenience without compromising comfort or durability.
Lightweight, 10-Minute Setup, All-Season Performance
Unlike traditional rooftop tents that rely on heavy frames and complicated assemblies, the Portal Nomis One™ inflates in as little as 2 minutes using the electric pump, that’s for the tent body alone. For the tent + mattress combo, full inflation takes just 8.5 minutes. Its inflatable air-beam structure delivers exceptional stability while making handling and installation significantly easier.
*The electric pump is available as a bundle upgrade, or you can opt for a lower-priced base package without it.
By replacing traditional metal frames with an innovative inflatable air-beam structure, Portal Nomis One™ weighs just 45.8 lbs—significantly lighter than conventional 120–180 lb rooftop tents. It packs down to a compact 32.3 × 17.7 × 15.7 in—small enough to fit comfortably in the cargo area of most SUVs—while the AeroDeck platform measures 92.5 × 59 × 5.9 in when fully deployed, comfortably accommodating 2–3 people with a weight capacity of up to 550 lbs.
Designed as a versatile 3-in-1 camping solution, Portal Nomis One™ can be used as a rooftop tent, truck bed tent, or ground tent, making it compatible with SUVs, pickup trucks, minivans, and many other vehicles.
Constructed from durable 300D Oxford fabric with a 5,000 mm PU waterproof rating, it delivers reliable all-weather protection.
Kickstarter Launch
Portal selected Kickstarter to introduce Nomis One™ to early adopters and gather real-world feedback from the outdoor community. Early backers can enjoy exclusive launch pricing, with savings of up to 38% off the standard retail price.
