Harva Outdoors Udden vs Wild Land Wild Cruiser 160
The Harva Outdoors Udden and the Wild Land Wild Cruiser 160 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. Harva Outdoors and Wild Land take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
By the numbers, the Harva Outdoors Udden brings 50 kg, 3.36 m² of floor, 135 cm of headroom and sleeps 3. The Wild Land Wild Cruiser 160 counters with 48 kg, 3.63 m² of floor, 100 cm of headroom and sleeps 3.
On weight they are effectively level — 50 kg against 48 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Floor area is close to identical at 3.36 m² and 3.63 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Headroom separates them further: 135 cm in the Udden against 100 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. The Wild Cruiser 160 lists about 11% lower than the Udden.
Canvas differs too: 420D ripstop polyester oxford, UV- and mould-resistant, 3000 mm water column against 210D ripstop poly-oxford 3000mm outer; 190g rip-stop polycotton PU2000mm inner; 210D poly-oxford PU2000mm floor; 600D oxford PU5000mm cover; silver-coated aluminium poles.
