Eezi-Awn Stealth vs NaïtUp Hussarde Duö
The Eezi-Awn Stealth and the NaïtUp Hussarde Duö 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. Eezi-Awn and NaïtUp take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
The Hussarde Duö is 35 kg lighter at 55 kg against 90 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 Stealth gives 2.8 m² of sleeping floor against 2.52 m², about 11 percent more, though both are rated for 2. Eezi-Awn does not publish a list price for the Stealth, so a direct cost comparison means getting a quote from a dealer.
The Stealth uses aerodynamic aluminium-encased hard-shell; the Hussarde Duö uses ABS/PMMA. Canvas differs too: 280GSM heavy-duty ripstop canvas against polycotton (Escape/Explore trims); cotton (Legend trim).
Eezi-Awn
Stealth
The Stealth is an aluminium-encased hard-shell tent whose patented scissor mechanism and gas struts automatically raise the front by 300mm on opening. Eezi-Awn lists a packed size of 1450 x 2200 x 320mm, a 90kg weight including the ladder, an 80mm SABS-approved mattress (130 x 215cm) and 280GSM ripstop canvas walls. It includes an LED interior light, USB and a 12-volt socket, an integrated rear-entrance awning and an aluminium ladder extending to 230cm.

NaïtUp
Hussarde Duö
The Hussarde Duo is the most compact hard-shell in NaitUp's Hussarde line, opening in about 30 seconds to a 210 x 120 cm bed for 1-2 people with up to 150 cm of interior height. The ABS/PMMA shell packs to 215 x 125 x 28 cm and the tent weighs 55 kg without the ladder. It uses NaitUp's patented NuFix mounting, comes in Escape, Explore and Legend trims, and carries a 10-year warranty.
- Fast, roughly 30-second shell opening
- Rigid ABS/PMMA shell backed by a 10-year warranty
- Most compact of NaitUp's Hussarde hardshells
- Bed sized mainly for 1-2 people
Which one to pick
Take the Hussarde Duö if your roof load limit is the binding constraint. Take the Stealth if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Beyond that the feature rows below — heater port, skylight, annex, cargo rails — are where the remaining difference lies.
