The Cairn Wedge

Built once.
Built right.

Every panel, latch, and seam in the Cairn Basecamp is engineered to outlast the trip — and the next one, and the one after that.

Construction

Aluminum where it counts.

100% aluminum alloy shell — no plastic corners that warp, no resin that yellows. Every panel is anodized, every fastener is stainless. Built to outlive your truck.

Deployment

60 seconds. Two latches.

Twin gas struts do the work. Pop the latches and the wedge rises on its own — no poles, no stakes, no fumbling in the dark. Pack-down is just as fast.

Weatherproof

Built for the bad days.

300D high-density Oxford fabric, fully seam-sealed, IP54 rated. We tested in Pacific Northwest sideways rain and Sierra-spring snow. It stays dry inside.
