Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 vs Harva Outdoors Lagunen Lagom
The Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 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. Gasell Adventure and Harva Outdoors take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
By the numbers, the Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 brings 85 kg, 2.8 m² of floor, 120 cm of headroom 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 18 kg lighter at 67 kg against 85 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 2.8 m², about 17 percent more, and it sleeps 5 to the GA150 2.0's 2. Headroom separates them further: 135 cm in the Lagunen Lagom against 120 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. Their list prices are within a few percent of each other, so price is unlikely to decide this one.
The GA150 2.0 uses aluminum; the Lagunen Lagom uses 5.5 mm ABS shell over an aluminium honeycomb floor. Canvas differs too: poly-cotton, 320 g/m2, PU-coated, 4000 mm water column (rain cover: 600D Oxford polyester, PU-coated, 4000 mm) against 280 g ripstop canvas sides and 420D ripstop polyester oxford roof; water columns 6500 mm (roof) / 3500 mm (sides), UV- and mould-resistant.

Harva Outdoors
Lagunen Lagom
The Lagunen Lagom is the mid-size Lagunen, widening the 5.5 mm ABS clamshell to a 153 × 205 cm mattress that Harva rates for up to five — a family hardshell that still fits many cars. It weighs 67 kg, opens on gas struts to a 205 × 160 cm platform (about 3.3 m²) under a 135 cm peak, and keeps the range's roof window, three-way mesh windows, electrical outlet and condensation mat. Listed at SEK 31,900 with a 24-month warranty.
- 153 × 205 cm mattress that Harva rates for up to five
- Mid weight at 67 kg between the Lillen and Större
- 5.5 mm ABS shell, gas-strut opening and a roof window
- Five is a generous rating for a 160 cm-wide platform
Which one to pick
Take the Lagunen Lagom if your roof load limit is the binding constraint. Take the Lagunen Lagom 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.
