Wild Land OrthFrame Max vs Wild Land Voyager Pro 160
Both of these are Wild Land tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The OrthFrame Max and the Voyager Pro 160 share Wild Land's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
The Voyager Pro 160 is 22 kg lighter at 53 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. Floor area is close to identical at 3.82 m² and 3.68 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. The Voyager Pro 160 lists $741 lower, at $2,358 against $3,099.
The OrthFrame Max uses aluminium frame with aluminium honeycomb top panel; the Voyager Pro 160 uses fibreglass with aluminium honeycomb. Canvas differs too: oxford polyester PU3000mm fly with TPU window; 600D rip-stop poly-oxford PU2000mm inner; 600D poly-oxford PU3500mm floor against WL-tech fabric PU5000-9000mm outer; 300D poly-oxford inner with 200g/m2 thermal insulating fabric; 210D poly-oxford PU3000mm floor. Closed, the Voyager Pro 160 sits 5.5 cm lower on the roof — 27 cm against 32.5 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
