Gordigear Mulloway vs Harva Outdoors Grundet
The Gordigear Mulloway 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. Gordigear and Harva Outdoors take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
By the numbers, the Gordigear Mulloway brings 79 kg, 2.86 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.
The Mulloway is 10 kg lighter at 79 kg against 89 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. Floor area is close to identical at 2.86 m² and 2.94 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Their list prices are within a few percent of each other, so price is unlikely to decide this one.
They open differently: the Mulloway is a pop-up 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 Mulloway sits 7 cm lower on the roof — 13 cm against 20 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
Gordigear
Mulloway
The Mulloway is a 2-person aluminium hard-shell tent with a semi-automatic pop-up shell that Gordigear rates at about 30 seconds to open. It has a low 13 cm packed profile, a 50 mm memory-foam mattress, dimmable 2-colour LED lighting and windows on all four sides. The shell is an 18 mm aluminium honeycomb core with aluminium planking.
- Fast semi-automatic pop-up setup at about 30 seconds
- Low 13 cm packed height, the slimmest of Gordigear's hard shells
- Dimmable 2-colour LED lighting and heater-port preparation
- 2-person only, with less interior headroom flexibility than the scissor-hinge Hapuku
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. At 89 kg it folds to 215 × 142 × 20 cm and works with Harva's annex and tarp accessories (sold separately) and a ladder. 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.
- Side-folding hardshell with a quick set-up and windows in two directions
- Works with Harva's annex and tarp accessories
- Harva publishes few specs — interior height, mattress and fabric are not listed
