HUGE TRICK - #1 TIP If you want to easily gain access to either of the flaps that cover/uncover the ventilation ends, simply disconnect 2 toggles that connect the inner to the outer ROOF, then easily reach over to open/close the flap, easy peasy.

I own lots of tents, many from Hilleberg, and I always come back to the Soulo red label with a footprint. For some reason, this is overall one of my top picks.
@@IIISentorIIIThat’s a great tent for sure. I sold mine and regretted it. So, I bought the Soulo BL. Like you I use the footprint but I’ve added the Tarp 5 and Tarp 10 depending on weather. Safe trails. 👍🏼
Hilleberg upgraded the Enan tent floor to the same 70D fabric that is used in the Akto back in February 2020 although your website still doesn't reflect that change. 2nd Tip: I swapped out the pegs for some that are an inch longer & total added weight of all 8 pegs is only one ounce. 3rd Tip: I've added two guylines to the head & the foot of my tent. I used an Anchor knot to attach the supplementary guyout lines to the tent attachment points & a tautline hitch on the other end so I can adjust the tension. The 2 supplementary guyout lines are placed on the same peg you normally use at both ends. 4th tip: I place a small flat stone under each fiberglass pole which keeps it from sinking into soft wet ground & causing a loss of tension on the guyout lines. 5th tip: Leave both ends uncovered to prevent condensation even when you know it will be raining all night. Water doesn't blow in through the webbed openings. 6th tip: I pitch my Enan same exact way as shown in the Hilleberg Enan Pitching video except I place a big rock on top of each peg immediately after pounding it into the ground. You'll love having to deal with just one pole & being able to pitch the footprint, inner, & outer simultaneously. I especially like that the outer comes all the way down to ground, all the way around. I know it's just me, however, I like that the pole is inside a sleeve & not likely to be bothered with freezing temperatures. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
I've discovered a need to put a stone or some other small support when pitching my tent at the base of the fiberglass pole at the foot end of my tent to keep it from sinking into the ground which then causes the tent to sag because of a loss of tension. This is especially true if the ground is soft, during strong gusty winds all night or if the ground gets soaking wet because of rainfall.
@@strangelyrepulsive77 You get what you pay for. These tents are hand built in Europe, not China. Each tent is made by one person and their name is sewn into the tent, a real mark of pride. They use top quality materials other manufacturers just won’t budget for. Hilleberg will also repair your tent for a very reasonable fee if you damage it. It’s a whole different ethos from say, North Face or Lanshan. I have three now and they’re superb. If you’re having doubts about buying one, don’t, they’re worth every penny.
@@dougieranger They are famous for bad ventilation, really bad condensation, being heavy, low head room, small vestibules, and over priced. In other words CRAP. There are quite a few people swapping them for other makes. I noticed you had to use cheap Chinese tents to compare, because the other premium tent brands leave Hilleberg in the dust.
@@Chris66able I love mine. But I’m a huge Hilleberg fan. I’ve got a Keron3, Allak3, Soulo BL and Enan. I think they’re fantastic and I now have one for virtually all potential scenarios. The quality is second to none, I’d never buy anything else now.
The Enan is a Yellow Label version of the Akto. It is meant for the snow free times of the year. The end configuration and the mesh panels are a bit different - and the Enan uses lighter weight materials.

Hillebergs most comprehensive instructional film yet, good job guys. And Petra has a great voice.
Six years later and I have now added the Enan to my Hilleberg collection, I have four now. Best tents in the world.

A whole lot of experts worked together
I've discovered a need to put a stone or some other small support when
pitching my tent at the base of the fiberglass pole at the foot end of
my tent to keep it from sinking into the ground which then causes the
tent to sag because of a loss of tension. This is especially true if
the ground is soft, during strong gusty winds all night or if the ground
gets soaking wet because of rainfall.
It is official I am a tent
You are! And a great tent at that. 👍🏼
Can I purchase this tent with 3mm guylines instead of the 2mm guylines?
The Enan comes with 2mm guy lines already attached, but you can purchase 3mm separately and switch them out.
My thoughts after my first two nights in an Enan - bit.ly/3ichDd7 . A further review to follow in August when I've taken it out for a proper walk.
why is it so expensive?
Compared to what? You’re buying a tent that you will have for decades.

What's the difference between this and the akto. The akto is four seasons but this looks almost identical
The Enan is a Yellow Label version of the Akto. It is meant for the snow free times of the year. The end configuration and the mesh panels are a bit different - and the Enan uses lighter weight materials.
Nice tent but I still wonder why its more expensive than the Akto.
Thank you. The lighter fabric in the Enan is more expensive and also a bit harder to sew in so that is why.
