I have this tent - although I have not had it out in a storm yet - first impressions- super easy to set-up (I did watch a video on YT prior) but really easy when you understand the outer guy line is to be aligned with the opposite end pole concept. It is a very airy tent for warm conditions. It does not heat up like a small four season tent, BUT I believe already that it is more capable than the Hilleberg (HB) recommended operating limits… in colder conditions because it is not a ‘warm tent’ I’d recommend a bivi bag, I use one all the time through habit, even with my ‘bomber’ four season tents, for me a bivi bag is an essential piece of safety kit for the hills, it deploys always, every time! HB design & material selection quality is evident throughout this piece of kit, from top to bottom (too much to detail here) - bottom line ‘cry once buy once’ you will save in the end - nuff said. It is so easy to tear down, alter the use in so many different configurations (see the HB video resources) it has become my most versatile tent option - so versatile it has probably even made my Rab Sil Tarp 2 redundant! My observations in respect of ultralight: HB weigh the whole package, most other (all?) other manufacturers don’t count pegs, guys etc, etc… by the time you apply the same criteria, the end weight is comparable (boldly subjective - granted) and the quality design and safety aspect thrown into the equation imho really does make the HB a compelling consideration. This kit is built for life, not just one thru-hike event.
@@northernswedenstories1028When you need darkness to sleep, try closing your eyes before going to sleep, or use a sleeping eye mask! If you sleep long into the bright morning, how long will you sleep in a tent that is hot as hell as soon as the sun shines on it?
@@northernswedenstories1028If you need a tent for a lighted campsite, try for example the Quechua 2 Seconds pop up tent, it is light on the outside and dark on the inside!

I love when testers both acclaim tents for being light, yet want more grommets here, features there, and tie-downs.
Simply amazing cinematography my friend! Absolutely amazing!

Great video, thanks for making and uploading 👍
Thanks Bruce!
I think this colour is too dark for a summer tent. When the sun shines on it, I think it's sure to be hot as in hell inside.
I sure do agree, but Hilleberg says the color of tent doesn’t have much of any impact on interior temps.
Id rather dark than light in summer. Easier to sleep as the dark lets less light in. These tents vent well.

Buddy I would learn first say the name of the ⛺ then talk about it😢
The name is just about the least important thing about it...
