Eezi-Awn Stealth vs Harva Outdoors Grundet
The Eezi-Awn Stealth and the Harva Outdoors Grundet 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 Harva Outdoors take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
By the numbers, the Eezi-Awn Stealth brings 90 kg, 2.8 m² of floor, 140 cm of headroom and sleeps 2. The Harva Outdoors Grundet counters with 89 kg, 2.94 m² of floor and sleeps 2.
On weight they are effectively level — 90 kg against 89 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Floor area is close to identical at 2.8 m² and 2.94 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. The Grundet lists about 13% lower than the Stealth.
They open differently: the Stealth is a clamshell and the Grundet a fold-out. That is not cosmetic — it decides whether headroom is even across the tent or tapers towards one end, and how much of the roof the tent occupies when closed. Closed, the Grundet sits 12 cm lower on the roof — 20 cm against 32 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.

Harva Outdoors
Grundet
The Grundet is a two-person hardshell fold-out (side-opening) tent from Harva Outdoors, with windows in two directions, a large entrance and an elevated sleeping platform.

Its open sleeping area is 210 × 140 cm (2.94 m²); Harva publishes little else for the Grundet — interior height, mattress and fabric specifications are not listed on its product page, so those are shown as unavailable. Listed at SEK 31,990, it carries Harva's company-wide 24-month warranty.
