Harva Outdoors Sundet 2.0 vs Vickywood HAZEL 130
The Harva Outdoors Sundet 2.0 and the Vickywood HAZEL 130 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. Harva Outdoors and Vickywood take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
By the numbers, the Harva Outdoors Sundet 2.0 brings 57 kg, 2.24 m² of floor, 160 cm of headroom and sleeps 2. The Vickywood HAZEL 130 counters with 67 kg, 2.2 m² of floor, 110 cm of headroom and sleeps 2.
The Sundet 2.0 is 10 kg lighter at 57 kg against 67 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 2.24 m² and 2.2 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Headroom separates them further: 160 cm in the Sundet 2.0 against 110 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 Sundet 2.0 uses powder-coated aluminium clamshell over a steel-reinforced aluminium floor with 3-layer honeycomb panels (23 mm insulation); the HAZEL 130 uses ABS hard shell with special coating. Canvas differs too: PU-coated 300 g/m² poly-cotton, 4000 mm water column; tent fabric rated 3000 mm against 300D elastic silk fabric with graphene coating, PU-coated, 5,000 mm water column, mold-resistant, UV-protected. Closed, the Sundet 2.0 sits 13.8 cm lower on the roof — 11.2 cm against 25 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
