23Zero Onyx Triple X 1450 vs Harva Outdoors Lagunen Lagom

The 23Zero Onyx Triple X 1450 and the Harva Outdoors Lagunen Lagom 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 Harva Outdoors 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 Harva Outdoors Lagunen Lagom counters with 67 kg, 3.28 m² of floor, 135 cm of headroom and sleeps 5.

The Lagunen Lagom is 31 kg lighter at 67 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. Inside, the Lagunen Lagom gives 3.28 m² of sleeping floor against 2.78 m², about 18 percent more, and it sleeps 5 to the Onyx Triple X 1450's 2. 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 Lagunen Lagom uses 5.5 mm ABS shell over an aluminium honeycomb floor. Canvas differs too: 320 gsm canvas with Light Suppression Technology (LST) against 280 g ripstop canvas sides and 420D ripstop polyester oxford roof; water columns 6500 mm (roof) / 3500 mm (sides), UV- and mould-resistant. Closed, the Onyx Triple X 1450 sits 8 cm lower on the roof — 22 cm against 30 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
