Overland Vehicle Systems HD Mamba vs Overland Vehicle Systems XD Atlas Cantilever ABS

Both of these are Overland Vehicle Systems tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The HD Mamba and the XD Atlas Cantilever ABS share Overland Vehicle Systems's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.

On weight they are effectively level — 80.3 kg against 81.6 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Floor area is close to identical at 3.21 m² and 3.37 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. The HD Mamba lists $500 lower, at $2,399.99 against $2,899.99. Overland Vehicle Systems also backs the XD Atlas Cantilever ABS for 6 years against 4.

The HD Mamba uses honeycomb aluminum; the XD Atlas Cantilever ABS uses ABS plastic over aluminum honeycomb base. Canvas differs too: 280g rip stop poly cotton Oxford against 320g rip stop poly cotton Oxford. The XD Atlas Cantilever ABS adds a heater or HVAC port, a roof skylight, integrated LED lighting and a matching annex, which the HD Mamba does not offer. Closed, the HD Mamba sits 16.51 cm lower on the roof — 16.51 cm against 33.02 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
