"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."

"My Hilerberg Akto has withstood storms as bad as any I would want to be out in."
"Then there is Hilleberg. Top of the top winter tent. ... Hilleberg is a winter tent; if you rely on this list and buy it for a summer holiday you will die. ... Hillebergs are top of the top"

"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."

"they're pretty lightweight for what they are! ... I'm not sure it's possible for it to be any lighter than it already is whilst maintaining that level of robustness. ... Most other tents that are as strong as a Soulo weigh more than a Soulo"
"Both tents achieve their relatively low weights due to excellent design and wise material choice."

"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!"

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? ->Hilleberg makes fantastic tents. Not cheap though.
r/preppers • What’s a good prepper tent/BIVY for my bug out bag? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
