Smittybilt warranty for tents & shelters
The short version
Smittybilt doesn't cover everything, but keeps hard-shell popup tent and gen2 overlander tent covered to 5 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 10 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Smittybilt's published warranty, checked October 2026.
