ROGERS, MINNESOTA - May 18, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Clam Outdoors announces the new ClamAYR™ Boondocker, a first-of-its-kind shelter that blends next-generation inflatable architecture with the rugged durability Clam is known for, creating a rigid, versatile shelter that sets up in minutes and adapts wherever life takes you.
For decades, Clam Outdoors has been trusted by anglers who demand reliability in the harshest conditions, and ClamAYR™ represents the next evolution of that expertise. By taking what worked on the ice; durability, warmth, ease of setup, and reimagining it for all environments, Clam has created a system that expands beyond seasonal limits.
Built for real-world conditions, ClamAYR™ is designed with the understanding that outdoor gear simply can’t fail. Constructed with durable 400 denier fabric and 60 grams of insulation, it provides a strong barrier against harsh elements, blocking cold winds, shedding moisture, and retaining heat in cold conditions while providing a cool, comfortable experience in warmer weather.
Whether you're ice fishing in the dead of winter, camping off grid in the summer, setting up basecamp for a hunt, or hosting at a tailgate, ClamAYR™ is designed to go where you go and evolve with you.
Adventure Year Round with Clam’s Proprietary AYR Truss Design™
AYR stands for Adventure Year Round™, a nod to both its versatility as a portable, all-season shelter, and to the ethos of outdoors enthusiasts who get after it no matter how cold, hot, or nasty it is outside.
ClamAYR™ shelters are engineered with proprietary AYR Truss Design™, made possible by advanced drop-stitch technology. Thousands of internal polyester fibers connect opposing material layers of the shelter that, when inflated, creates a rigid, sturdy, and strong structural framework. Instead of ballooning, the internal fibers hold the structure’s shape, transforming air pressure into a strong, flat, and load-bearing surface.
At just 10 PSI, the shelter becomes rock solid, delivering the strength of a permanent structure without the weight or bulk of traditional frames.
The design includes a multi-season panel system. Panels can be configured as ultra-fine mesh screens or insulated thermal walls with large TPU windows, simply by zipping the different layers up or down. Panels can also be easily swapped out, giving adventurers complete control over their set up.
Designed to accommodate 2 to 4 people, it features a spacious 10 ft x 10 ft footprint (100 sq. ft.), with 6 ft walls and a peak height of 8 ft, offering plenty of room to stand, move, and relax. Despite its size, it packs down compactly for easy transport in most vehicles. It weighs 120 lbs, and inflates quickly through a single port, making setup fast and efficient.
Additional features include:
- Oversized door for easy access (and easily removable panels if larger entry point is required)
- Flexible aluminum roof poles
- Rugged wheeled carrier
- Rechargeable battery-powered pump
- Removable heavy-duty floor
- Weatherproof seam wall panels for rain protection
- Ground and ice anchors for stability in changing conditions and seasons
Clam Outdoors plans to build out the ClamAYR™ lineup with additional models, accessories, features and colors. The Boondocker AYR is the first model in the lineup.
The shelter is available for pre-order now. Clam Outdoors will continue receiving additional inventory throughout the coming months, with more ClamAYR models and accessories planned for future release.
The MSRP of the ClamAYR™ Boondocker is $3,999.99.
