Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 vs Gasell Adventure GM160 2026
Both of these are Gasell Adventure tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The GA150 2.0 and the GM160 2026 share Gasell Adventure's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
The GM160 2026 is 17 kg lighter at 68 kg against 85 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 2.8 m² and 2.87 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. The GM160 2026 lists $283 lower, at $3,113 against $3,396.
The GA150 2.0 uses aluminum; the GM160 2026 uses 5 mm matte black ABS plastic with cast aluminium frame. Canvas differs too: poly-cotton, 320 g/m2, PU-coated, 4000 mm waterproof rating against poly-cotton, 300 g/m2, PU-coated, 4000 mm water column (rain cover: 600D Oxford polyester, PU-coated, 4000 mm).
