70cm is very wide, are you sure you need mats that wide? 2 of them wouldn't even fit in a Hilleberg Nammatj 2, and that's a very spacious 2 person tent. I would say get less wide mats, or failing that, you'll need a 3 person tent. Tunnel tents generally offer the most spacious interior. The Robens Sprinter (2 or 3) is a fantastic tent for the money. You could use a footprint to cover the vestibule area, but I wouldn't worry about things getting wet, let them get wet, presumably you're in the UK, in which case, at some point things are going to get wet.

True 4-season tents are typically heavy, think 5kg geodesic tents. Hilleberg tents are not heavy, they are in fact light. You're getting geodesic strength tents at 1/2-3/4 the weight. The compromise is often larger material to pole areas resulting in more flapping/more noise in the wind. For 4-season summit camping, I chose Hilleberg, an Akto for solo camping and a Nammatj 2 for when there's two of us. Msr do not make a true 4-season tent.

I think you need to work out what you actually want, or maybe you're looking for a do-it-all tent which does not exist without compromises. Two tents is probably the best solution. If I was looking for a 2-person, 4-season tent that's a reasonable weight, I would probably go for the Hilleberg Nallo 2. If having two tents was an option, I would probably go for something like an X-Mid or Lanshan and a Hilleberg Nammatj 2.

Would go Hilleberg. The Soulo has poor ventilation. The Akto has way better ventilation and also much lighter. The downside being head space. The Nammatj 2 I just awesome, and it too has very good ventilation, the downside being it's much heavier at 3kg.

For one person, I think the Hilleberg Akto is the best tent ever made. I would say the Soulo, but I think the Akto is 90% as good but 30% lighter. Just my own opinion, of course, they are all excellent tents. I also have a Nammatj which I love for 2 persons.

What you've described is a Hilleberg. I don't think any other tent beats a Hilleberg in terms of strength to weight. I went with the Nammatj over the Nallo, mainly because I prefer the ventilation on the Nammatj and I prefer the door placement, but it is heavier than the Nallo. You won't be disappointed with the Nallo, or any Hilleberg for that matter, they are awesome.

Multiple tents is the only sensible option but honestly if it had to be one tent I think the Hilleberg Nammatj is up there. It has really big vents both front and back and full mesh convertible door. You could probably makeshift something to lift the outer fly off of the ground for the hottest months.

It’s a bit small for sitting up in but the Hilleberg Nammatj2 is a fantastic winter tent. It feels bombproof, holds up amazingly in the wind, and is (just) light enough to backpack with

If you’ve got to carry it yourself, a Hilleberg Unna will take you and a dog comfortably. Failing that a Namatj 2 as suggested elsewhere (I swapped to the Unna for a weight saving). BUT when you say 4 season that recommendation is based on real 4 season, say Cairngorms or windy/wet peaks. If it’s just for cold weather, a Durston X-Dome or X-Mid solid would work - way cheaper and way lighter.

Are you planning very regular hikes to areas where there are REALLY high winds or HUGE amounts of snow? If so, a black label or double poled red might be what you need, but in over 40 years of hiking in the UK I’ve never found myself thinking a black lable Hilli is a must (it got close a couple of times!). I had a second set of 9mm poles for my Namadj 2 and never found the need to use them. I’ve used 3 season tents in 30-40mph winds with extra guy lines. Something like the X-Ddome might be in your budget as you can brace the existing poles with walking poles plus there’s a DAC pole version coming soon.

I've had a Hilleberg Nammatj 2 for 12 years now and taken it all over the world. I take care of it but it still looks like new today. Came with two liners, one like this and a mesh liner for warmer weather, is that included here? If you are set on a Hilleberg and want to do warm weather camping I think the Nammatj would be better, having vents on both sides of the tent really helps with airflow. Also the mesh liner. I also agree that price is steep for a 10 yo tent, you can buy new for 870.

It'll probably hold up just fine in typical 3 season weather. But looking at the fading dye, it's seen a lot of use. Even with good care, it's a sign that the nylon may not be as strong as it once was, so I personally wouldn't trust it in harder winds. Especially when weather can be variable in the wild. Personally, if I was looking to get a nammatj, it's for its 4 season capacity, and knowing that i can trust it to stand up to unexpected changes in weather. Indeed, that's exactly what happened a few weeks ago. Set up with expected mild weather, ended up with 50mph gusts all night. Noisy, but felt safe throughout. This is especially in light of reasonably capable tents within that 600euro price range.

Any good 4-season tent will have no issue holding up to strong winds on exposed beaches. I recommend a sealed 4-season model not just for the stronger poles, but because it will keep blowing sand out of the tent, which can become a huge issue in big storms. I once endured a 20hr, 80km/h+ wind storm on the Nahanni River in my 3 season Mountain Hardwear Aspect 2 tent, and while the poles miraculously didn’t break, the entire inside of my tent was full of sand when it finally let up. Like, a quarter inch of sand everywhere, and I’d been breathing it all night. With every gust the tent would fold down onto my chest, and I’d get peppered with a fistful of sand at my face. It was probably one of the most intense, miserable nights I’ve ever had in the backcountry. Several of my friends had heavier 4 season tents and slept through most of the ordeal, and had zero sand in their tents. Something like a Mountain Hardwear Trango, Marmot Thor or Hilleberg style tunnel tent would be your best choice if you’re expecting serious wind. They’re not cheap, but they’ll take whatever you can throw at them.
