Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 vs NaïtUp Hussarde Family
The Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 and the NaïtUp Hussarde Family are both hybrid tents in the same part of the market, which makes them a genuine head-to-head rather than a comparison across categories. Gasell Adventure and NaïtUp take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
The Hussarde Family is 10 kg lighter at 75 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. Inside, the Hussarde Family gives 4.62 m² of sleeping floor against 2.8 m², about 65 percent more, and it sleeps 5 to the GA150 2.0's 2. Headroom separates them further: 145 cm in the Hussarde Family against 120 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. Setup is not close. The Hussarde Family opens as a fold-out in 30 seconds; the GA150 2.0 takes 2 minutes. Over a trip with a new campsite every night, that gap compounds. The GA150 2.0 lists $1,453 lower, at $3,396 against $4,849. NaïtUp also backs the Hussarde Family for 10 years against 2.
They open differently: the GA150 2.0 is a clamshell and the Hussarde Family 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. Canvas differs too: poly-cotton, 320 g/m2, PU-coated, 4000 mm waterproof rating against polycotton.

Which one to pick
Take the Hussarde Family if you move camp most days. Take the Hussarde Family 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.
