Howling Moon Lunar vs Wild Land Voyager Pro 130
The Howling Moon Lunar and the Wild Land Voyager Pro 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. Howling Moon and Wild Land take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
By the numbers, the Howling Moon Lunar brings 75 kg, 3.12 m² of floor, 105 cm of headroom and sleeps 2. The Wild Land Voyager Pro 130 counters with 50 kg, 2.99 m² of floor, 108 cm of headroom and sleeps 2.
The Voyager Pro 130 is 25 kg lighter at 50 kg against 75 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 3.12 m² and 2.99 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 Lunar is a clamshell and the Voyager Pro 130 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. The Lunar uses fibreglass with scratch-resistant coating; the Voyager Pro 130 uses fibreglass with aluminium honeycomb. Canvas differs too: heavy-duty ripstop canvas with YKK zips against WL-tech fabric PU5000-9000mm outer; 300D poly-oxford inner with 200g/m2 thermal insulating fabric. Closed, the Voyager Pro 130 sits 6 cm lower on the roof — 27 cm against 33 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.

Take the Voyager Pro 130 if your roof load limit is the binding constraint. Beyond that the feature rows below — heater port, skylight, annex, cargo rails — are where the remaining difference lies.
