"I have a Big Agnes tent that’s at least 10 years old, we use it regularly and only have to hose the dirt off. It’s amazing."
"A good tent (like the big Agnes) will last you a lifetime."

"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."

"Me too. And I use Apple Airpods. $$$$$"
"$179 is pretty nuts. ... As long as people keep buying them and paying the esports tax, they're gonna keep selling them at this crazy price. ... The G305 feels really similar, but at 1/3 the price. ... I don't truely understand why the G pro light is all the rage. ... I used a G pro for a week, and while it did feel very smooth and responsive, I also had a G305 that felt very similar."
"overpriced and don't ever prove the price difference in sound over the az100."

"Hilleberg is a winter tent; if you rely on this list and buy it for a summer holiday you will die."
"Kelty, is it half covered in mesh, it is horrible in summer and it cannot stand winter."
"It is covered with fabric again, so not so good for summer, would be good for mountain weather in the summer though."

"with a significant weight penalty."
I think it would hold up very well in the conditions you described. If you really want to endure extreme conditions, you’ll probably want a 4 person Hilleberg like a Keron or equivalent. To me the REI Basecamp is a humongous heavy car camping tent. It has a shape like geodesic dome tents like the tried and tested North Face VE 25. It’s just much taller. Since I have expedition tents for those types of conditions, I reserve my REI Basecamp for a car camping. It’s rated for four seasons, at least my version was when I bought it, so I think it would do its part in terms of handling snow loads, and winds, if you do your part to stake it out appropriately. But it is much taller than my mountaineering tents so it will catch more wind.
r/CampingGear • 4 man tent ->Yes I’ve used it but not in extreme wind or snow.
r/CampingGear • 4 man tent ->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?! ->For alpine, windy or snowy conditions, nothing beats a Hilleberg. Pricey though. Akto is my favorite one man shelter of all time (tunnel style). Soulo for a freestanding one man, but with a significant weight penalty. The Rogen is a sweet freestanding two man design. Has more airflow than some of their other models, but will handle wind like a champ. Excellent weight/space/weather compromise.
r/WildernessBackpacking • Tent help ->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 ->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
