Hilleberg - Stalon GT

I bought a Stalon GT 2 back in 2001 for around $600 and is still in great shape. Taken it all over the Sierra. You feel invincible in one in rough conditions but I would buy a new one if you’re going to spend $600

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

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.

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.

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.

I swear by my Hilleberg, but that's a terrible deal, even on a great tent.

Naturally I’d say buy a Hilleberg. Yes, they’re expensive, but it will last a lifetime.

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.

I hunt in Alaska we always use a Hilleberg

If you really want to buy once cry once, the best tents available are probably from hilleberg. If you want a very decent budget one to start out and see what you like and don’t like, I’d recommend naturehike
