"The best part is the huge vestibule. ... On super rainy days we can set up our camp chairs in there and cook with the stove no problem, the dogs sleep out there and it's a great place to dry stuff."
"I’m 6’4” and I have plenty of room ... I sleep on the diagonal just for extra head room but I can fit straight across ... I can sit straight up in the tent and move around ... there’s still room in the tent for most of the extra gear in my pack"
"Can fit 2 cots, 2 camp chairs, and the dog bed no problem."

"Though not designed for it a modified Akto was used succesfully on a solo expedition to the North Pole, not bad for a backpacking tent."
"For alpine, windy or snowy conditions, nothing beats a Hilleberg."
"A decent-sized gale came in off the Atlantic. I don’t know what else would’ve stood up to it."

"Yeah I do love it too ... I love having that extra space to spread out, especially when the weather is bad, as you mention."
"Hell, even my Yellow Label Niak was fine in 40mph winds in Scotland last year."

"it weighs about a ton and a half."
"I agree it ’s really too heavy for a solo hiker; I’m always surprised when I see people out solo in the mountains with one."
"the duplex is too heavy ... too much weight for one person by themselves."

Hilleberg is solid but damn those prices hurt. If you're not doing serious mountaineering the MSR Hubba series is way more reasonable and still built like a tank
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for an all season camping tent. Any suggestions? ->People shit on hilleberg prices till they use a hilleberg in less than ideal weather. I’ll tolerate the price for the long life and ability to handle some nasty weather. Most places in the states below tree line don’t need one though.
r/CampingGear • Gearlabs top 19 tents are all 200$+. One is even over a thousand. Are those of ua getting the 70$ amazon special really buying junk?! ->Hilleberg, TarpTent, SlingFin, Samaya. Real expeditions are more likely to choose Hilleberg. Their strongest tents are not super light, but they are made to withstand serious weather.
r/Ultralight • What ultralight tent do you recomend for severe cold weather? ->if money isnt a thing then hilleberg, black label series, a staika model kept me and my guide protected and safe when it snowed 14 inches on a high country elk hunt, they are awesome, im from Tennessee we dont need best quality expedition tents generally even in the eastern mountains. but having used that one for a week i can say that one was great.
r/CampingGear • Which would you buy? ->I swear by my Hilleberg, but that's a terrible deal, even on a great tent.
r/camping • Worth buying old tent? ->Get a Hilleberg! 😂buy once cry once.
r/overlanding • Tent Recommendations ->I got rid of the Abisko for a Soulo. I’m 6’2”. I’ve got an Allak and it’s great but it weighs about a ton and a half.
r/wildcampingintheuk • First night in the Fjällräven Abisko Lite 1 - I confess to feeling cramped! ->We’re on the same page. Fantastic tent all the same. I took it (on my own) to Vatersay, next to Barra. A decent-sized gale came in off the Atlantic. I don’t know what else would’ve stood up to it. And I’d decent space for the 24hrs it took to blow out.
r/wildcampingintheuk • First night in the Fjällräven Abisko Lite 1 - I confess to feeling cramped! ->This absolutely. A red or black label hilli is the answer if price is no object. I have an allak 3 and the build on it is so far beyond any other tent I own. Those zippers are just a joy to use.
r/CampingGear • Which would you buy? ->Hilleberg is the tent for severe weather. They have different lines depending on how you want to trade weight versus sturdiness. None are "ultralight", but that is not what you are looking for in extreme cold/winds/snow.
r/Ultralight • What ultralight tent do you recomend for severe cold weather? ->I hunt in Alaska we always use a Hilleberg
r/Ultralight • What ultralight tent do you recomend for severe cold weather? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
