23Zero Onyx Triple X 1450 vs Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0
The 23Zero Onyx Triple X 1450 and the Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 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 Gasell Adventure take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
By the numbers, the 23Zero Onyx Triple X 1450 brings 98 kg, 2.78 m² of floor and sleeps 2. The Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 counters with 85 kg, 2.8 m² of floor, 120 cm of headroom and sleeps 2.
The GA150 2.0 is 13 kg lighter at 85 kg against 98 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 2.78 m² and 2.8 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Their list prices are within a few percent of each other, so price is unlikely to decide this one.
The Onyx Triple X 1450 uses oxide-coated aluminium extrusions with a honeycomb base; the GA150 2.0 uses aluminum. Canvas differs too: 320 gsm canvas with Light Suppression Technology (LST) against poly-cotton, 320 g/m2, PU-coated, 4000 mm water column (rain cover: 600D Oxford polyester, PU-coated, 4000 mm). Closed, the Onyx Triple X 1450 sits 5 cm lower on the roof — 22 cm against 27 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
