The 2026 model brings a host of upgrades, including a comfier quilted mattress, larger windows, improved ventilation, and smarter storage solutions. The mattress stays inside when packed away, so your sleeping space is always ready for your next trip.
With two skylights, large windows and anti-bug mesh, the Lite feels bright and airy, while handy internal pockets and external storage keep your essentials organised.
