Aegis
Hardshell Adventure Tops
Meet the Aegis Adventure Top. A truck canopy with integrated wedge style sleeping popup. No fabric here though… this is a hardshell!
Designed and manufactured in British Columbia, Aegis tops are built from super tough, rot, rust, and mould proof composite sandwich panels. The hard sidewalls make it excellent for thriving in whatever condition your adventure presents.
Want to feel like you’ve got a little extra protection from both four and two legged animals? Aegis has you covered. Tired of fabric flapping in the wind while you’re trying to sleep? Aegis mitigates that too. Worried a fabric wall won’t keep you warm while exploring this great country of Canada? Aegis can help. Last, but certainly not least, it’s super light construction and low profile design means it’s easy on your fuel economy.
