Eezi-Awn Sabre Lite vs Wild Land Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120
The Eezi-Awn Sabre Lite 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. Eezi-Awn and Wild Land take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
By the numbers, the Eezi-Awn Sabre Lite brings 70 kg 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.
On weight they are effectively level — 70 kg against 71 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Setup is not close. The Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 opens as a clamshell in 60 seconds; the Sabre Lite takes 5 minutes. Over a trip with a new campsite every night, that gap compounds. Their list prices are within a few percent of each other, so price is unlikely to decide this one.
The Sabre Lite uses aluminium hard-shell with one-piece hinge system; the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 uses aluminium honeycomb with silver coating. Closed, the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 sits 19 cm lower on the roof — 18 cm against 37 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
