Gordigear Tanami Light 140 vs Harva Outdoors Udden
The Gordigear Tanami Light 140 and the Harva Outdoors Udden are both softshell 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 Tanami Light 140 brings 52 kg, 3.46 m² of floor, 130 cm of headroom and sleeps 2. The Harva Outdoors Udden counters with 50 kg, 3.36 m² of floor, 135 cm of headroom and sleeps 3.
On weight they are effectively level — 52 kg against 50 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Floor area is close to identical at 3.46 m² and 3.36 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. The Tanami Light 140 lists about 13% lower than the Udden.
Canvas differs too: 265 gr/m2 ripstop polyester-cotton blend, polyurethane impregnated and UV resistant against 420D ripstop polyester oxford, UV- and mould-resistant, 3000 mm water column.
