Wild Land OrthFrame Max vs Wild Land Voyager Pro 230
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 230 share Wild Land's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
The Voyager Pro 230 is 9 kg lighter at 66 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 Voyager Pro 230 gives 4.6 m² of sleeping floor against 3.82 m², about 20 percent more, and it sleeps 5 to the OrthFrame Max's 4. The Voyager Pro 230 lists $552 lower, at $2,547 against $3,099.
The OrthFrame Max uses aluminium frame with aluminium honeycomb top panel; the Voyager Pro 230 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 230 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.
