Freespirit Recreation Aspen Pro Standard vs Freespirit Recreation Evo V2 Standard

Both of these are Freespirit Recreation tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The Aspen Pro Standard and the Evo V2 Standard share Freespirit Recreation's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.

The Aspen Pro Standard is 13.600000000000009 kg lighter at 60.8 kg against 74.4 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 2.39 m² and 2.47 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Headroom separates them further: 132.1 cm in the Aspen Pro Standard against 86.4 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. List prices are within $132.5 of each other, so price is unlikely to decide this one.

The Aspen Pro Standard uses aluminum hardshell: extruded aluminum frame, polymer corners, honeycomb aluminum top; the Evo V2 Standard uses extruded aluminum with polymer corners. Closed, the Aspen Pro Standard sits 5.400000000000002 cm lower on the roof — 18.7 cm against 24.1 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
