Budget would be good. I’d definitely recommend a 4 season but like how much do you want to spend? The hilleberg jannu is an amazing tent for anything Mother Nature can throw at you but it’s also around $2,500.
How many people you need to sleep mate?
Unless your talking extreme mountain top camping you could just go with something like the north face storm break 2. Comes in at under $500. Or a mont Moondance for a little extra. Msr elixir for around $600.
If you need it lighter for hiking you could go with Hyperlite Mountain Gear UltaMid 4.
Really 50km winds is pretty manageable for anything Mother Nature can throw at you any dome style tent that’s not so cheap rubbish. I myself use a hyperlight unbound 2 but again that was a little over a grand. I also use a durston x mid 2 in warmer weather, that’s around $500 and it’s probably my favorite tent of all of the ones I’ve accumulated over the years. 50k winds would be nothing for it but it may get a bit drafty inside. But it’s gotten more use than any tent I’ve ever owned! Light as shit and comfy!
Neither, I'd get a Hilleberg tent, from the red line (expedition rated) ... but I'm biased since I have one (Jannu) and have used on of their tents whenever I was out.... even in the army ... so unless you are locked to either of these.. id check them out.
While I don’t have experience with the specific tents you’re looking at, my advice would be to go with Hilleberg if price isn’t a differentiating factor. I’m sure either would work great for you - beautiful products from both companies.
I have a Slingfun Portal and I absolutely love it, but Hilleberg design is in their own class. I’ve spent probably 40-50 nights in a friend’s Hilleberg, vs. maybe 30 in my newer Slingfin, and the small details of the Hilleberg win the day. Slingfin’s design is top notch and they have great attention to detail, but Hilleberg takes the same care, attention, and no holds barred approach to quality but you know that every detail has been refined through an order of magnitude more cycles of use and abuse in absurd conditions. All the cool details that sound like a great idea on paper but don’t fully pan out in the real world have been weeded out by Hilleberg leaving an absurdly refined design.
A hardware product developer by trade, I can only aspire to that level of design quality.
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
