Gordigear Hapuku vs Wild Land Skyera

The Gordigear Hapuku and the Wild Land Skyera 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. Gordigear and Wild Land take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.

On weight they are effectively level — 95 kg against 99.5 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Inside, the Skyera gives 4.7 m² of sleeping floor against 3.01 m², about 56 percent more, though both are rated for 3. Headroom separates them further: 140 cm in the Hapuku against 119 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. Setup is not close. The Hapuku opens as a pop-up in 30 seconds; the Skyera takes 1 minutes. Over a trip with a new campsite every night, that gap compounds. The Hapuku lists $1,122 lower, at $3,877 against $4,999.

The Hapuku uses aluminium 18 mm honeycomb core with aluminium planking; the Skyera uses transparent anti-UV polycarbonate (PC). Canvas differs too: 320 gr/m2 ripstop polyester-cotton blend, polyurethane impregnated and UV resistant; flysheet 150 gr/m2 600D Oxford (UV 50+) against 280g rip-stop polycotton PU2000mm. Closed, the Hapuku sits 17 cm lower on the roof — 15 cm against 32 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
