Vickywood CUMARU UP 145 vs Vickywood HAZEL 155

Both of these are Vickywood tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The CUMARU UP 145 and the HAZEL 155 share Vickywood's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.

Floor area is close to identical at 2.77 m² and 2.7 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Headroom separates them further: 130 cm in the CUMARU UP 145 against 110 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. The CUMARU UP 145 lists $216 lower, at $3,229 against $3,445.

The CUMARU UP 145 uses aluminum with aluminum honeycomb base; the HAZEL 155 uses ABS hard shell with special coating. Canvas differs too: 320 g/m2 ripstop polyester, 3,000 mm water column against 300D elastic silk fabric with graphene coating, PU-coated, 5,000 mm water column, mold-resistant, UV-protected.

Vickywood

HAZEL 155

The HAZEL 155 is the wider of Vickywood's two HAZEL ABS-shell tents, sleeping 2 on a 135 x 200 cm area. Like the 130 it is sold as a hardshell whose front section unzips for a 270-degree view and closes via Quick-Pull drawcord on STABILUS gas struts. It includes two 150 cm dual-tone LED strips with USB-C.

  • Wider sleeping area than the HAZEL 130
  • Fully unzipping front for open-air views
  • Graphene-coated 300D fabric with 5,000 mm water column
  • Low interior peak height (approx 110 cm)
