NaïtUp Hussarde Family vs NaïtUp Hussarde TriUp

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

The Hussarde TriUp is 12 kg lighter at 63 kg against 75 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 3.08 m², about 50 percent more, and it sleeps 5 to the Hussarde TriUp's 3. The Hussarde TriUp lists $1,080 lower, at $3,769 against $4,849.

Which one to pick

Take the Hussarde Family if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Take the Hussarde TriUp if the budget is fixed. Beyond that the feature rows below — heater port, skylight, annex, cargo rails — are where the remaining difference lies.
