23Zero Kabari Superfly vs Wild Land Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120
The 23Zero Kabari Superfly and the Wild Land Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 are both hardshell tents in the same part of the market, which makes them a genuine head-to-head rather than a comparison across categories. 23Zero and Wild Land take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
By the numbers, the 23Zero Kabari Superfly brings 48 kg, 2.38 m² of floor, 142 cm of headroom and sleeps 2. The Wild Land Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 counters with 71 kg, 2.44 m² of floor, 126 cm of headroom and sleeps 2.
The Kabari Superfly is 23 kg lighter at 48 kg against 71 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. Floor area is close to identical at 2.38 m² and 2.44 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Headroom separates them further: 142 cm in the Kabari Superfly against 126 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. Their list prices are within a few percent of each other, so price is unlikely to decide this one.
The Kabari Superfly uses semi-hardshell: waterproof PVC top on an aluminium frame; the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 uses aluminium honeycomb with silver coating. Canvas differs too: ECO13B fabric with Light Suppression Technology (LST) against 210D ripstop poly-oxford 3000mm outer; 600D rip-stop oxford PU2000mm inner and floor.

It sleeps two on a 2-inch foam mattress with a condensation mat, offers up to 56 inches of headroom, and includes dual heater/cooler ports and a USB LED light bar.
