"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."

"It took over 5 years for one of the buds to give out and stop charging, and I still happily use the other bud all night every night. ... Absolute beasts"
"I’ve been using the $20 Tozo buds from Amazon for 3 years now and 0 problems. ... Yeah dude, I left mine in my pocket and did laundry multiple times and it just keeps chugging."

"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?! ->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? ->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
r/camping • Worth buying old tent? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
