Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 vs Gordigear Bonito
The Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 and the Gordigear Bonito are both hybrid tents in the same part of the market, which makes them a genuine head-to-head rather than a comparison across categories. Gasell Adventure and Gordigear take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
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. Inside, the Bonito gives 3.27 m² of sleeping floor against 2.8 m², about 17 percent more, and it sleeps 3 to the GA150 2.0's 2. Headroom separates them further: 120 cm in the GA150 2.0 against 95 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. Setup is not close. The Bonito opens as a pop-up in 30 seconds; the GA150 2.0 takes 2 minutes. Over a trip with a new campsite every night, that gap compounds. The Bonito lists $383 lower, at $3,013 against $3,396.
They open differently: the GA150 2.0 is a clamshell and the Bonito a pop-up. 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 GA150 2.0 uses aluminum; the Bonito uses aluminium 18 mm honeycomb core with aluminium planking. Canvas differs too: poly-cotton, 320 g/m2, PU-coated, 4000 mm waterproof rating against 320 gr/m2 ripstop polyester-cotton blend, polyurethane impregnated and UV resistant.

Which one to pick
Take the Bonito if you move camp most days. Take the Bonito if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Beyond that the feature rows below — heater port, skylight, annex, cargo rails — are where the remaining difference lies.
