HILLEBERG ANJAN Review | LIGHTWEIGHT Backpacking Tent, 2 Person Tunnel Tent
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2024
- Hilleberg Anjan is a lightweight tent, one of the lightest models of Hilleberg tents. We have the the 2-person model with the extended vestibule, Anjan 2 GT.
Hilleberg make really good quality tents and they are expensive but if you’re searching for a tent to last for 10-20 years then Hilleberg is the right brand for you to choose.
Hilleberg Anjan is a lightweight backpacking tent made for using during the snow free season, a so called 3-season tent. The gt-version we have weights 2,1 kg and are not a ultralight tent but you get a lot of space and comfort that you don’t find in ultralight tents.
In Hilleberg’s yellow label serie you also find another tunnel tent called Hilleberg Helags and in the red label and black label you have 3 other models called Hilleberg Nallo, Kaitum and Nammatj.
When we make outdoor gear reviews our mission is to help you to choose the right equipment. We are totally honest and are not bought or try to sell things to you.

Yes a longer 1 or 2 man tent is one of my prerequisites. And not just by a little bit but by another half body length at least for arms above your head or gear or a dog.
That is a good point. Not only 10cm longer. It should be 50-100cm longer. 😀
/Matti
Thanks for another insightful video! I purchased an Hilleberg Anjan 2 GT for my Kungsleden hike this summer. For me and my German Shepard this was excellent and I am very happy with it! The extended vestibule was superb during a 12day rain period.
I totally agree... It's a perfect tent for 'solo with a dog in bad weather' tent. 😀
/Matti
Thanks, Matti. I've had an Anjan 2 (non-GT version) for almost 10 years and used it from dry Arizona to wet Welsh valleys in 35mph winds in winter. It's held strong every time. Highly recommended.
Thanks for another great video. I have the HB Anjan 2 GT, it's a perfect tent for me and my dogs when we are out fishing and hiking in forest environment summer and autumn.
Yes. It's a real castle for one person and a dog.
😀
/Matti
I also have the problem with my feet touching the wall and getting wet. I trick you can use is put the feet part of the sleeping bag inside your rainjacket. Works very well for me.
I put my feet in to a backpack once and get a lot of condensation.
Do you get condensation in the rain jacket or do you keep it open on the sides? I have to test this....
/ Matti
Been there, done that. For me a jacket on the bottom end of the sleeping bag has worked well on several occasions. So I agree.
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA You get condensation. But that is only the condensation on the rather small area of the jacket. Whereas when the sleeping bag comes in contact with the tent's wall, it will suck up all the condensation water that runs down as drops from the whole area above it. So that is 10 times or more the amount of water than what would condensate under the jacket.
I have a Rogan and use it mainly for cycle touring. It has two vestibules so, if the weather is bad, I put my panniers in the vestibule on the windward side. This stops the rain and wind getting under the tent and making the inner wet. I love the build quality of Hilleberg but I guess no tent is perfect. I din't go for a tunnel tent as I am 1.84m tall and the dome tents tend to have more space for me. Great video.
Awesome review! Thanks :)
Thanks for watching!
😀
Great review and fun to watch ! true thing I'm 193 cm and lot of tends are short for me. And I know very well sleeping diagonal
i also own a helsport fonnfjell pro 2 that has a 240 cm!!!! inner tent ,perfect for tall people. thanks for the great video and keep the great work up, happy trails!
Thanks!
We will continue to make this videos was long as we can prioritize the time for it. We really enjoy film making.
/ Matti
Thanks I wish this brand was more available in stores in northern Canada, without having to order on internet
It's the same in Sweden. We also have to buy this kind of 'top of the line' products on Internet.
/Matti
Really useful seeing you lay down to see how your feet touch the rear wall. I'm 178 cm and thought I might be able to get away with it as I thought it was an issue for tall people, not average height people. Decided against the Anjan 2 a while ago in part for this reason, but your video confirms I made the right choice!
Sometimes it's nice to see that things confirm the idea you have. Thanks for confirming this video.
:-)
/ Matti
Great review, very helpful
Thanks!
That's so nice to hear that it was helpful. 😀
/Matti
Great review! I was thinking to buy that tent for mostly 3 seasons, but I will buy Kaitum 3 because of double door, straight walls and space.
Thanks!
I also think Kaitum is a good tent.
/ Matti
I agree on the ventilation bit, but we always get discussions on that in our tents as not everyone agrees with me there 😂
Hahahaa...
/ Matti
I do agree with you about the length of the tent. I typed thermarest last year because a friend of mine was above 200 cm and just wanted a sleeping pad that fit. I do not understand that the productmakers do not make sleeping pads, tents and so on for taller people. They should also have the oppertunity to be in the great outdoors with comfortable gear that fits! But its not that easy for Them to find :(
:-)
I agree.
...and short people like me don't want to carry gear for tall people.
/ Matti
Good review, I have the Anjan 3 for me and my dog. I am 188cm and not had issues, and I use a exped down,at 9ulw
It's a lovely tent.
😀
/Matti
Zítra mi dojde Anjan 2gt ,moc se těším...😊
Hi Matti very nice videos and reviews they are extremly helpful for me looking to invest in a tent. I would love to see you review some Fjällräven tents and maybe compare them with Hilleberg. One I would like to see an review of is Abisko View 2 from Fjällräven. Thanks for doing these videos.
Fjällräven tents are made in china, if that is something you care about. Also they prefer to keep the store you bought it in accountable for support, so they're less desirable as a second-hand tent where the store may be far away or no receipt is provided at all. Goes both for value loss if you buy new and what you should probably pay if you buy used.
But my Abisko Lite 1 works fine. The "Bushman and BLUE" channel uses and reviews a lot of Fjällräven tents.
Your jacket looks suprisingly simular to my EE quilt.
It’s a EE jacket!
😀
/Matti
Good film. The best tent for two people is the Allak 3. 😉
...but it's really heavy.
I like Allak if I goes canoeing or Kayaking but I don't like to carry.
/ Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Yes, I was making a joke Matti. A bad one I know.
At 4.5Kg+ it’s way too heavy for backpacking.
Hej Matti. Lars heter jag.
Jobbade pa Transa, i Zürich en butik som saljer bland annat Hilleberg tält. Mötte en kund som kände dig, och lovordade dig. En schweizare som också jobbar som guide i dina trakter. Jag rycker ocksa att sina tältrewiews är jättebra! Ville bara säga ga det!
Hoppas på en fin vinter i år!
Vad roligt!
Undra vem det va. Det finns några från Schweiz som flyttat hitåt faktiskt. 😀
Kul att du gillar tältreviewerna. 😀
/Matti
You should get the Kaitum! it's a palace.. :)
Yepp... but it's lots of money to 'get' all this equipment.
😀
/Matto
Tack, superbra :>
Hoppas du fick ut nått bra från filmen. 😀 /Matti
Another great video matti!keep looking at Hilliberg for back packing,can't make my mind up which one to buy?👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
You can never have to many Hilleberg tents ;-) Horses for courses. Most of ours we bought second hand and are using them for many years, some for decades. Yes, things break, but you can get them repaired. Our oldest Hilleberg still in use is 30 years old now.
Thanks!
I Agree with Alexander... You can never have to many Hilleberg tents!
/ Matti
Thanks Matti for yet another really interesting and well put together review, you really point out the things that matter in practical use of the tent. I'm 181 cm tall and I would love to be able to have a Nallo, Nammatj or Anjan but because of the issue with the sleeping bag pressing against the inner tent at the foot end, it is sadly not av option for me...and I am not even considered a tall guy (I think I'm actually spot on the average length for a male in Sweden). My hiking parter and I often discuss Hilleberg tents and we always end up with the exact same thought as you in this video...why don't Hilleberg make an XL version of theses models? Then the not so tall persons can buy the standard version and save some weight and the taller persons can get the XL version with a slight weight penalty but that shouldn't really matter that much because taller persons might perhaps also possess a bit more carrying power. Hillebergs advice to tall persons is to put a rain jacket over the end of the sleeping bag but personally I don't endorse that advice...I mean you bring a rain jacket as a shelter for wet weather so there is a fair good chance that the rain jacket are wet because you have actually used it for its main purpose...then it would be pretty useless to put over the sleeping bag to protect from condensation.
Thanks for all your fantastic videos, they are all very inspiring and interesting to watch and you have a very nice approach. Keep it up!
Best regards Martin
Thanks!!!
Have you checked Hilleberg Helags? That's similar to Anjan but with the straight footpart and an extra entry.
Next time when we will get new tents to our customers we will go for Keron 3 instead of Nammatj 3GT because of that reason.
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Thanks for the reply and advice Matti! I actually already have the Helags 3 for this exact reason.😁 It is a really impressive tent for the weight and I love the interior space. However, I am also a BIG fan of the GT vestibule from my Kaitum 4 GT. But as you know, sadly, Hilleberg doesn't offer the Helags in GT version so for my lightweight non winter tent I had to choose between not pressing my feet against the inner tent (Helags) or GT (Anjan GT) and I chose the former without hesitation.🙂 However, a Anjan 2 GT XL would be a different story.😉
Great, informative review! I am almost 2 meter long and have difficulty finding a tent that is long enough. Which one/ones would you suggest I take a look at?
Hello!
I think a tent like Keron, Kaitum or Heals from Hilleberg will fit the length. They have straight walls at foot/head part. I don't know about the high.
/ Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Tnx a lot!
Do you use any of the Yellow Label tents, besides Enan? I’m interested in the Rogen 2. The Niak looks good too, but it doesn’t seem as ventilated as the Rogen.
I got the Anjan and Enan since a while. Today I also have a Niak that I’m really impressed of!!! I will use it little bit more and then make a review.
/Matti
Hi Matti, I really appreciate your many Hilleberg tent reviews but in the end I really struggle to choose the right one for my needs. May I ask what Hilleberg tent would you recommend for bike AND motorbike travels if you would have to only choose one? So in the end something which is not to small for motorbike (probably ENAN?) and not to heavy for bike touring. Yes I know, there's no perfect one-tent solutions for all needs but I only got the budget for one Hilleberg tent... :-) Many thank in advance!
Take a look at Unna. It is freestanding and versatile.
The Anjan 2 might also be an option if you want a lighter one.
For summer tripping it should be yellow label.
I can recommend Anaris. Has excellent: head room, light weight, ventilation. And it is one of the cheaper HB tents.
Cons: stuff sack is too small, pegs are too small
Need to get folding trekking poles or carbon fibre poles.
I used a Enan on my motorbike trips. Worked fine, until a heavy rain/hail caught me high up in the mountains. With a river developping my tent, I needed to get all your gear inside the inner tent. And for this, the Enan's inner is just too small. Pro: the bath tub withstood this test. I switched to a Rogen for this use. But during it's maiden motortrip in September in the Alps, it proved too cold/windy inside at 1600 m altitude. Next try will be a Nallo 2, even though I fear getting cold feet due to touching the sloping roof. I would not be surprised if I end up in a Nammatj 2, a fortress with a steeper rear end (both poles have equal heights). Just buy (and sell) them second hand, to keep cost down. The amount of hardly used tents for sale is really amazing.

Hi Matti, i have a little bit off topic question: what are the pants, that you are wearing in this review? 😊 Thank you.
It's the Klattermusen Gere pants
Skulle detta vara ett opraktiskt tält för fjällen pga ventilationen? Söker ett mer vindtåligt tält än mitt big agnes :)
Jag upplever det Big Agnes Copper Spuur (se review här på vår kanal) som ganska stabilt i vind. Däremot är det svårt att få upp i dåligt väder.
Jag skulle nog säga att Anjan är slittåligare... betydligt slittåligare än Big Agnes. Om du vill ha ett tält som är lätt och okej på stormiga fjäll så kolla på det klassiska Nallo!
/Matti
So about ventilation, it's about the same or the same as the Nammatj 3GT? I like your reviews but also ..., well your English.... let's say different from Swedish standards. :-) Ahh... also funny and I can understand it so compliments for your articulation which is good. But just between us :-) ... on youtube everybody invents their own English. :-) Is it bad I am writing this only to you? :-)
Nammatj and Anjan have totally different ventilation. Anjan have the open space all around the tent walls... and thats all.
Nammatj goes all the way down to the ground but have to dedicated ventil, one on each short side. You will see it if you compare my review of Nammatj and this review of Anjan.
My English is probably something more like swenglish... During school I was not good with language. My language teacher was always frustrated and told me that I was hopeless. But thats another story.
Today I'm talking English more or less every second day with the guest on our tours. Guests from all over the world... so they are the once who is guilty if I speak with a different accent... ;-)
My language teachers would probably not be proud!
:-)
/ Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA haha yes you guests are to be blamed for your English. :-) About the difference between the Nammatj and Anjan I mend the result. how is that in comparison? That they are differently build is clear of cours. ;-)
But talking every two days English is the best school you can have. :-) Greetings from Utrecht Holland. :-)
Nice tent but I wish it had zips both sides of the porch.
All Hilleberg tents come with YKK COIL zippers. NO TEETH.👁💖
I gather up a sufficient number of big heavy rocks that I can put on top of tent stakes B4 starting to pitch my Hilleberg Enan. When I drive a stake into the ground I reach for the nearby heavy rock & put it on top of the tent stake then move on to the next tent stake & big heavy rock.
I was shouting at my computer when you were walking around with that tent pole still laying on the ground. tsk, tsk. By the way, I'm just 5'3" (160cm) so I have plenty of room inside most any tent.
I especially liked your comment about the tent is supposed to provide shelter, not warmth, that the sleeping bag should provide warmth, not the tent.
And the air mattress should provide insulation from the ground, not just the tent floor.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Do what I say and don't look what I'm doing. 😀
It's really super easy to destroy one of the poles when you step on them... /Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA How many poles have you destroyed, Matti?
Matte … how can we buy your tours ? I’m curious
You find all our tours here: jokkmokkguiderna.com/en
Nice tent but for omething at that price a mosquito net is expected. Its those extras that make the difference. No thanks Hilleberg. There are many other tnts out there that cover more bases.
But there is a mosquito net for the inner tent. I don't think that there exist lightweight models of any brand with mosquito safe vestibule.
/Matti
Hilleberg pockets are too expensive Matti 😢
It must be that the Hilleberg pockets are expensive… I totally agree. Why shouldn’t they otherwise add just a few extra pockets.
😂
