About Us: Why iKamper
The Skycamp Story

In 2017, iKamper launched the Skycamp on Kickstarter with a radical idea: a hard-shell rooftop tent that expands to sleep a family of four and deploys in under a minute. The world responded with $2.37 million in backing, the most successful tent campaign in Kickstarter history. Within six months of production, Skycamps had shipped to 46 countries. Now in our 4th generation of the Skycamp, we're still obsessing over the details and building gear that will last a lifetime.

Built by Hand, Built to Last.

iKamper tents are made where they're designed. Our headquarters sits in Seoul, and we own our own production facility in South Korea, and the same team that designs every product is the one building it. iKamper employees hand-craft every fiberglass shell, stretch every canvas, and bring their creativity to the factory every day.

Unmatched Materials, Uncompromising Quality

We're obsessed with materials, and every detail of an iKamper is thoughtfully developed and carefully chosen to maximize durability, performance, and comfort across any environment.

The iKamper Standard

Fiber-Reinforced DuraCore™ Shell
Stronger than metal, and lighter too. Our double-layer, DuraCore™ Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) shell resists UV exposure, water, and temperature swings—easily outlasting cheaper ABS alternatives.
Blackout BreathWeave™ Fabric
Our polycotton blend is constructed with premium BreathWeave™ fabric, which resists condensation while remaining waterproof without heavy coatings. Built for enhanced breathability and maximized longevity in both extreme heat and cold.
Honeycomb Aluminum Floor
Lightweight, stiff and insulating, the honeycomb structure of the cork-topped ThermaSeal™ flooring system provides the base for a piece of lifelong adventure gear. It's built with intention and aerospace-grade aluminum that can hold over 1000kg while still being light enough to fit most vehicles.
PFAS-Free Waterproofing
Since 2025 all of our products have featured eco-friendly, effective, and built to last PFAS-Free DWR. Our tents stay dry without harmful chemicals.

Giving Back

We're a company built by weekend warriors who love the outdoors, and naturally that means we care deeply about keeping our local trails open, clean, and worth exploring. iKamper contributes annually to Tread Lightly! and gets hands-on with trail cleanup events right here in the Pacific Northwest.

See You Out There

We're just a group of makers and adventurers who wanted better gear for the places we love. The fact that so many of you feel the same way still means everything to us. If you ever need anything, reach out. Thank you for being part of this.
