Vickywood HAZEL 130 vs Vickywood HAZEL 155
Both of these are Vickywood tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The HAZEL 130 and the HAZEL 155 share Vickywood's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
The HAZEL 130 is 10 kg lighter at 67 kg against 77 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 HAZEL 155 gives 2.7 m² of sleeping floor against 2.2 m², about 23 percent more, though both are rated for 2. The HAZEL 130 lists $324 lower, at $3,121 against $3,445.
