Eezi-Awn Sword Family vs Tuff Stuff Overland Stealth

The Eezi-Awn Sword Family and the Tuff Stuff Overland Stealth 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 Tuff Stuff Overland take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.

By the numbers, the Eezi-Awn Sword Family brings 100 kg, 3.8 m² of floor and sleeps 4. The Tuff Stuff Overland Stealth counters with 100.2 kg, 4.22 m² of floor and sleeps 3.

On weight they are effectively level — 100 kg against 100.2 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Inside, the Stealth gives 4.22 m² of sleeping floor against 3.8 m², about 11 percent more, and it sleeps 3 to the Sword Family's 4. The Stealth lists about 6% lower than the Sword Family.

They open differently: the Sword Family is a clamshell and the Stealth 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. The Sword Family uses aluminium hard-shell with one-piece hinge mechanism; the Stealth uses aluminum. Canvas differs too: 260 g/m² Teflon-coated polyester ripstop against 280 g poly/cotton ripstop; 210D Oxford PU 5000 mm rainfly; aluminum honeycomb floor. Closed, the Stealth sits 5 cm lower on the roof — 33 cm against 38 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
