"estoy encantado con la resistencia"
"It handles the wind perfectly by the seaside, strongly recommend!!"
"The mini 4 pro is magnificent but pricey. It’s also great in wind, I live in a city where winds routinely gust close to 35 miles an hour, and it rarely complains and shots stay steady."

"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."

"The Hilleberg Nallo 2 is a beast for UK winters"
"The Nallo red label is absolutely considered a 4 season tent and I would not hesitate to use it in the winter under most conditions."

"I do think the vestibule on the standard Nallo is still pretty roomy though, certainly enough for me to get out of my wet full body kayaking drysuit, which is not easy to do in my Allak"

"aren’t robust enough for Scottish winter"
"the Nallo is classified by Hilleberg as a "Red Label" tent which is their all-season category (not their Black Label which is expedition/winter), so you're right about it not being ideal for heavy snow loading."

"with a significant weight penalty."
"My only gripe is the weight. ... It’s 2.7kg pack weight and I sometimes double pole and I have a footprint so that adds up."
"lower your standards of UL and get a Yellow Label Hilleberg!"

"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."

"Those fabrics start to get a weird smell over time that I hate."
I have consulted with a couple of mountaineers and they gave me the following thoughts: Hillebergs are heavy but amazing tents. And the more specialized DCM tents have to be taken care of. They dont do expeditions with pyramid tents, but they are crazy and go to some extreme altitudes. I have bought the nallo 2 on the second hand market for $400 and I will mainly use it with another person. So the weight will be distributed evenly. For my solo winter expeditions I will buy a mid tent. Preferably also second hand or not too expensive since I am a student and have other pretty expensive hobbies. I was looking at the naturehike summiture (not super serious). I appreciate your reply, it is the most informative and concrete piece of advice yet. I will check out the tents you suggested, class starts soon XD
r/Ultralight • UL tent quenstions ->Hilleberg is solid but damn those prices hurt. If you're not doing serious mountaineering the MSR Hubba series is way more reasonable and still built like a tank
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for an all season camping tent. Any suggestions? ->People shit on hilleberg prices till they use a hilleberg in less than ideal weather. I’ll tolerate the price for the long life and ability to handle some nasty weather. Most places in the states below tree line don’t need one though.
r/CampingGear • Gearlabs top 19 tents are all 200$+. 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 ->~~Winter camping can mean many things. The Nallo isn't a 4 season tent. Specifically, it isn't adapted to snow. Those cat curves on the lower perimeter of the fly are practically impossible to bury and the spindrift will flood the interior. You will regret using the Nallo in full on winter conditions (blown snow).~~ If you have a very limited budget and need one shelter to do it all, your best bet would be a mid with as many sides as you can get/are willing to carry (i.e., a rectangular pyramid -> a hexagonal mid -> an octagonal mid). Edit: My comments about the cat cut on the fly is due to confusion with the Anjan! My apologies for the confusion! FWIW, I've personally used and owned at different points 3 of what are now called the Black Label tents and 6 of the Red Label tents.
r/Ultralight • UL tent quenstions ->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? ->The Nallo red label is absolutely considered a 4 season tent and I would not hesitate to use it in the winter under most conditions. Only the black label version would be better for extreme arctic conditions.
r/Ultralight • UL tent quenstions ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
