Hilleberg - Enan 1 Person

At 900g with poles, the xmid is somehow only 100g lighter than a Hilleberg Enan. Considering the relative performance, this puts the xmid in the extreme heavyweight category of tents.

Don't get the Enan. Worst tent I've owned.

I have a Hilleberg Enan, great and holds up to rain and wind. Not super cheap but if you can find one second hand might me an option!

oh damn you're right they are even more expensive now! I got mine in a store closing sale a few years ago for 560 euros which was incredibly lucky, and totally worth it, but yeah don't think I would spend that much.

Hilleberg don't believe in selling you a supertight pack sack that you'll never get your tent back in. Their sacks are generous, but you can compress the tents pretty tight. If you're after a small tent for bikepacking, the Enan (I've got one) or Akto are an option, as are any of the other solo tents. They all have their pros and cons.

I'm 5'4" and own several 1P tents - Hilleberg Enan, Hilleberg Soulo and Durston X-Mid 1. I find them all more than spacious enough for most trips. Not sure what to recommend for your price range though; maybe something from Wild Country or Vango, or maybe the Sierra Designs High Side. If you use walking poles, then look for an older X-Mid on eBay, as they come up fairly regularly around that price.

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

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.

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.

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.

I swear by my Hilleberg, but that's a terrible deal, even on a great tent.
