Vickywood CUMARU EASE 135 vs Wild Land Rock Cruiser Pro
The Vickywood CUMARU EASE 135 and the Wild Land Rock Cruiser Pro 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. Vickywood and Wild Land take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
By the numbers, the Vickywood CUMARU EASE 135 brings 69 kg, 2.6 m² of floor, 145 cm of headroom and sleeps 2. The Wild Land Rock Cruiser Pro counters with 75 kg, 2.87 m² of floor, 102 cm of headroom and sleeps 3.
The CUMARU EASE 135 is 6 kg lighter at 69 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. Inside, the Rock Cruiser Pro gives 2.87 m² of sleeping floor against 2.6 m², about 10 percent more, and it sleeps 3 to the CUMARU EASE 135's 2. Headroom separates them further: 145 cm in the CUMARU EASE 135 against 102 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.
They open differently: the CUMARU EASE 135 is a clamshell and the Rock Cruiser Pro 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 CUMARU EASE 135 uses aluminum 6 Series; the Rock Cruiser Pro uses aluminium honeycomb. Canvas differs too: recycled 320 g/m2 ripstop polyester, PU-coated; rainfly 420D Oxford polyester, 5,000 mm water column, UV 50+ against 190g rip-stop polycotton PU2000mm silver-coated; 210D ripstop poly-oxford PU2000mm floor. The CUMARU EASE 135 adds a roof skylight, which the Rock Cruiser Pro does not offer.

Which one to pick
Take the Rock Cruiser Pro if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Take the CUMARU EASE 135 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.
