    Our Nammatj GT3 is now about 15 years old, and has seen a lot of action! Absolutely zero issues with it, and worth every single penny! I think that the inner tent rubber hangers could perhaps do with replacing, but they are not too bad. Highly recommended!

      Thank you William for the feedback. We were hoping to get out this weekend and do a review of our Nallo, but we are currently under tropical storm warnings. Maybe next weekend. Yes the Nammatj is a sweet looking tent with some nice features that we think are going to work out nice. We have no doubt that it will hold up just as well as our Nallo.

      Andy thank you for your comment. Yeah the footprint can be intimidating for sure. We looked (briefly) at the Keron 3GT but once we measured out the footprint area we were like, "no way!" We can only think of one time while trying to wild-camp in Spain that the size of our tent was an issue, but then again, really any tent would have had issues in this spot. Just a really bad spot and the sun was going down fast. We hope the tent works for you and would like to hear back how your camping goes. And Happy Camping to you as well.

      Thank you Finn. We do have a 2 person tent for very short trips that we can use either together or if one of us wants to go solo for the weekend and it works fine for that. However for longer trips we would recommend jumping up one size for sure. The extra room will be nice when it's needed and honestly the weight difference is nearly nothing.

    "Quick Review"! :D That's usually something like two minutes, often wasted because it isn't enough for a real review! I'm thinking about buying a Nammatj. to use when hiking up in the mountains (Fjällen) in northern Sweden. Thanks for an excellent review!
    (Not that it matters - "tj" is pronounced something like "tch", "Nammatj" isn't that easy to pronounce correctly for us who doesn't speak any of the Sami languages!)

      haha, yeah well 2 minutes would be very short and you're right, not really worth viewing. Thank you the quick Sami lesson. I know I was pronouncing it wrong, heck... I can barely speak my own language. ;-) Good luck on your trip north. We cycled roughly 1600km up through northern Finland and Norway and just barely touching Sweden. 24 hours of daylight is amazing to experience. Cheers and thank you for leaving a comment.

    • @PedalPowerTouring

      Bummer to hear about your tent needing repairs right from the beginning and I'm not sure what to say other than you may want to talk with Hilleberg about your problem with them. We are not affiliated at all with Hilleberg, but we do own 3 of their tents, 2 tarps, as well as 2 mesh inners. I'm not sure if you watched our Nallo 3 GT review, but in it I talk about spending more than 365 nights in it during our bicycle trip around the world. We have had no real issues and up to now our experiences when dealing with Hilleberg have always been great. ~Ron

      Materials used are top notch and very robust compared to other similar tents on the market, and it's evident that lot of thoughts went into the details. I took mine out in the desert for few weeks and somewhere along the way got a hole and visible wear in the bottom of the pole sleeves, I'm guessing it's friction wear rubbing on the ground from wind blowing against the tent walls pushing it back and forth.

    • @PedalPowerTouring

      @@geoffnepo ah ok gotcha. I was under the impression your tent arrived with flaws and Hilleberg was giving you a hard time. Yeah camping in the desert or on hard/rough surface would add increased wear for sure. However we get it, that when you're traveling you can't always have beautiful lush green grass, but that would be awesome if we did. :-) Hopefully, you got your tent back and are out enjoying the great outdoors again.

    I'm considering the Nammatj GT because it looks like I could fit the bike inside the vestibule. I don't get the impression that you plan to do so, but is the vestibule actually big enough for that?
    Thanks for the review!

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  7 лет назад

      Hello Rasmus and thank you for the question. We have never tried putting our bike(s) in the tent, so we can't say if it would work or not. While traveling we picked up two small cheap tarps from a hardware store to cover our bikes or we would slip them under our big tarp if we had it setup over the tent.
      Tell you what, we will setup the tent today and give it a try and let you know.

    Just bought a winter tent so my son and I can winter camp in the UK. It's a hillberg saitaris, haven't used it yet but looking forward to it, also bought an extra set of poles as with hilleberg tents you can double up on the poles . Have you a review or used a saitaris. Take care and God bless.

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  6 лет назад

      Hello Michael and thank you for your comment. That is great to hear and I'm sure you will have many happy nights in your Hilleberg. No, we have no experience with the the Saitaris, but based on our experiences with our Nallo 3GT, Nammatj 3GT, and even the very light weight Anja 2 (1st Gen), you should be good to go. I suppose the extra poles will come in handy if you're covered in snow, but I don't think you will really ever need them otherwise. We've spent many nights in very windy conditions and never once did we worry about the tent collapsing in on us with just one set of poles. Cheers and God bless as well. ~Ron

    I too progressed from a Nallo 3GT to a Nammatj 3GT. The venting is still appalling though. I will be moving to a Keron 3GT next.
    We use our tents for cycle touring as a couple. The Nallo came apart in storm force winds in 2010 after about a decade of regular use. We have had the Nammatj for 12 years now. Elastics are getting saggy, the footprint has had a couple of repairs and there are a couple of pinholes in the fly but it is still going strong.
    Oh, the bungees in the poles are looking a bit tired now including one which has lost it's elasticity.

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  2 года назад

      The venting seems better in Nammatj, but you can't go wrong with either one. We also now have Kaitum 3, but haven't used it enough yet (only about 14 nights so far) to give any real feedback yet. Stay tuned though and we will. Happy Adventures! ~Ron & Petra

    Wonderful review of the tent. Would you recommend this tent for hot weather without the mesh inner? Thanks.

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  5 лет назад +1

      Hello Damian, I guess that depends on your definition of what hot is. The tent will be hot/warm regardless of the inner shell, but yes it will be a little cooler with the mesh liner. Naturally the key is to pitch the tent in a shady spot and hopefully with a breeze flowing through it and with this tent you will have plenty of ventilation; especially, if you open the screen mesh at each end. The screen mesh will block some of the air flow just so you know. :-) We traveled for 25 months with Hilleberg's Nallo 3 GT (ruclips.net/video/vM0uVfuBFPQ/видео.html) and it too was hot/warm in the summer months in Spain, Portugal, France, and even here in Florida but we managed. Just this past May we took a short 4 day trip with our Nallo 3 GT here in Florida and we had just installed the mesh inner shell in it and we were good to go. Again though find the most shade possible to help keep your tent cool during the day or buy a Tarp to put over it. Also I would not lay inside any tent during the a hot summer day. I hope this helps and good luck with your tent. ~Ron

    Hi, how did you go with ventilation while you were in Iceland? I'm looking at purchasing this tent for a 6 month trip (wild camping) through Norway. Any feedback you may have would be awesome. Great review on this tent, thank you.

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  5 лет назад +1

      Hello MyDogsNameIsGreg. Thank you for your comment and sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately we never set our tent up while in Iceland. We rented a small 4x4 SUV and slept in the back of it. This just seemed more practical at the time and worked out best for us. We have the Nallo 3GT and not sure if you saw our review of that tent, but it's an awesome tent, the Nammatj 3GT, and Hilleberg's Anja 2 (1st gen). All are very nice and we don't think you could go wrong with any of these tents. To be honest it would be a toss up between the Nallo and Nammatj. Both are great tents! We were just camping 3 weeks ago in our Nallo because it just feels like home to us. The limited time we have camped in our Nammatj, I would say the ventilation is better than the Nallo if this is a big concern, but it does come with the additional weight. 6 months just in Norway? Awesome!! We spent close to a month bike touring Norway and while it's truly a beautiful country, it is also very very expensive. So be prepared for that. We made it up to Nordkapp from Finland, but as we made our way around the coast of Norway, we realized it was going to kill our budget. So we headed back to Finland in Alta, Norway. One day we will return and finish our trip along the Norwegian coast.

      @PedalPowerTouring  7 лет назад

      It is definitely a darker fabric and Hilleberg says this can happen from time to time, but it is green. Also, the Nallo is now over 4 years old and has been exposed to the elements. Had we not used a tarp over it, it would have been a much lighter green now. The tarp we used during our travels is a lot lighter green now than it was new.

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  7 лет назад +1

      Hello Rick. We've really only used the Nammatj a few times and honestly that is not much when compared to the number of nights we have in the Nallo. However, with all of the vents open on the Nammatj, it does appear to have better air flow. The weight difference is noticeable, so if you're worried about that, the Nallo would be the better choice; especially, if you're solo traveling. Again you can not go wrong with either tent and we have still used our Nallo on occasion since having the Nammatj. Maybe that is because to us the Nallo just seems like home. :-)

  • @B_Dog_Supreme
    @B_Dog_Supreme 4 года назад +1

    Hi Rob, thanks for these reviews. Now that you have had the Nammatj for a while, what do you like/dislike? Was the extra money and weight worthwhile over the Nallo? I am currently debating between both tents. Cheers

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  4 года назад +4

      Hey there Bubz and thank you for the question. So about the Nammatj, we have about 2 dozen nights in so far and really do like it; however with so few nights it's somewhat hard to compare to our Nallo that has well over 365 nights of camping. However, here is a little run down for you. Nammatj likes: ventilation, bug screens, more spacious, and seems a bit more sturdy, but then again it is a Black Label tent. Dislikes: the "tension" strap that crosses the entrance door down on the ground. This darn thing is going to trip us up one day and we're going to fall flat on our faces. :-) It is heavier than the Nallo for sure, but the added features seem worth it to us. With that being said, we have nothing but love for the Nallo 3 GT. It truly became our home away from home and despite having the Nammatj now, we still take the Nallo out on trips. I know this really doesn't answer and/or help your dilemma, but in the end you're going to be happy with which ever one you choose and you're going to make the best of it. We understand this is a difficult decision to make; especially, considering the price for each of tents, so we understand that you want one tent that does it all or comes close to doing it all. Also not being able to really see one in person doesn't help either. So let me wrap this up by saying this, had we had the Nammatj first, we most likely would never have bought the Nallo; however, as you can see, we did buy the Nammatj because we thought the added features would be nice despite weight difference. Again though we have zero regrets with our Nallo 3 GT. Try and ask around locally (we are in Central Florida) where you live and see if someone owns these tents and maybe they'll let you check it out. We've offered to demo our tents for some folks at the local park. Anyway... best of luck and either way you go, you're going to be happy. Cheers! ~Ron

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  2 года назад +1

      Hello RLL. We have and use the King Solomon dual sleeping bag from Big Agnes and we don't recall ever having any issues with it touching the inner tent. We also sleep on 2.5" thick air mats and as a base we use Thermarest's Z-lite. Also, we have also slept with our heads down near the slope and it's close but we were fine. I suppose if you have an XL long sleeping bag and mat you may run into issues unless you slept at a diagonal. If you look over on Hilleberg's website you can get the dimensions of the inner tent. The Nallo 3GT inner is 86" (220cm), I am ~70" (~178cm). Big Agnes sleeping bag says it fits someone up to 72" (~183cm). I hope this helps and appreciate the question. ~Ron

    I bought an Allak2 for bike packing. The only downside is the small size of the two vestibules. The GTs look great in this respect. I wanted a freestanding tent, and perhaps half the time I’m not I’m not able peg it. My question therefore is: how crucial for a tunnel tent are the four end pegs?

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  3 года назад +1

      Hello Peter. I'm sure the Allak 2 will work out just fine for bike packing since you're traveling pretty light. I recently purchased the Akto for my solo trips and it's great! As for pegging down the tunnel tents. You will need to stake down the ends to keep the tent standing. We've never had an issue even when we are on concrete slabs. We have used rope and/or bungie cords if we were unable to stick a stake in the ground right at the tent. We have tied off to our bikes, a pole, big rock, or something similar just to help pull the tent so it stands upright. It's not ideal, but it will work for a night or two. I hope this makes sense. ~Ron

    It's such a big help with the reviews so detailed. We look forward to go on a lot of bike touring ourselves.

      Hello and thank you Rasmus for the comment and question. Sadly no not enough to give a better response. We also have the 3 season Anja and it condensates up pretty good too, but then again we are in Florida and the humidity is crazy here. So it seems like they all sweat some and that is the just the norm. The few times we have overnighted in the Nammatj, we would say the ventilation was better once you opened both ends. With that being said, the past two times we've gone out, we have taken our beloved Nallo! I guess after spending so much time in it, it is like our second home. We would take the Nammatj more, but we are trying to keep it as new and fresh as possible for our future bike trip. However we are going to Iceland in 2 weeks (without bikes :-( ) and will take the Nammatj and after a couple weeks in it, maybe I can give you a better response. ~Ron

      Excellent and we're pretty sure you will enjoy it. We hope it brings you many great nights out in the wild like ours has for us. We will be in Iceland in a few days and we brought our Nammatj to give it a go. No bikes on this trip but we do have all of our camping gear. :-)

    Thanks for the review. Sorry if I missed it, but is the vestibule fixed or attached to the main tent? Wondering if I'll get claustrophobic 😅. Also, is this considered a freestanding tent?

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  Год назад +1

      Hello World Peace! Thank you for watching and for your question. The vestibule is the part of the tent and can not be removed or rolled back to create more open space on the Nammatj models. However, Hilleberg does make some models where the vestibules can be opened up very far and even rolled all the way open to allow better ventilation and views from inside the tent. I don't know all the models, but I do know that the Nallo 3 GT and Kaitum 3 allow this. We also own both of those models and used the Nallo 3 GT during our first world tour from 2013-2015 and are actually using the Kaitum 3 for the past 5 months on our current world tour. We did start out on our current world tour using our Nammtj 3GT for the first 10 months, but as we cycled further south and into Central America, it was just too much tent for us so we swapped it out and the Kaitum 3. The Kaitum 3 is dual entrance, both ends open all the way and the ventilation is pretty darn good on those hot nights. None of these tents I just mentioned are free standing and do require at least 4 points to be staked down. However, we have never had any issues with this, but we have had to be a little creative when setting up on concrete by using rope and bungee cords to attach those 4 areas. Sorry but I can not help you with the claustrophobic question since neither of us have this issue. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. Take care and happy adventures! ~Ron & Petra

      You answer all my questions perfectly! I like the nammatj GT because it seems like a good shelter with the large vestibule, but then I realized I might want to just stay in the tent and be able to look at the scenery so I will consider the other ones you mentioned. Perhaps I better cancel one of my orders. I just ordered two 😆

      @@aeptacon awesome and happy to hear this. The Nammatj GT is a great tent and yes the vestibule is huge. I can sit in it and in the Nallo 3GT on a Helinox Chair along with all of our bags. The nice thing about the Nammatj is the screens that really help keeping the mosquitos out, you do not get this with the Nallo or Kaitum. Also, unless you get the Kaitum 3 GT, you are unable to sit in the vestibule, but the vestibules are plenty big enough for our bags. Good luck on your decision and all the best! ~Ron

    Hey bro. Just wondering now that you have had this tent for a few years...does it ventilate better than the balloon as you expected? Just thinking about buying a nammajt too.

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  6 лет назад

      Hello Conrad, well we have no where near the number of nights in our Nammatj as we do in our Nallo, but yes, it does seem to have better ventilation; especially, when the mesh screens are unzipped. We are still very pleased with Hilleberg's quality and would not hesitate buying another tent to our collection. ~Ron

    Cool tent . Constructive criticism . If they made the foot print in a bath tub format with internal toggles to secure. The vestibule would be 100% protected from wind splash in serve storm conditions.. Not rocket science to introduce..I own the budget version . The Naturehike Oplalus 3 at 160 bucks U.S. Performs admirably in S.E.Asia Monsoon conditions.. The difference in price point convinced me to go Naturehike..

    What would be the best 4 season tent if one becomes homeless?

    • @TDubya811
      @TDubya811 5 лет назад +1

      All depends what you are planning to use the tent for and your budget and location/weather. You need the right tent for the job to suit your application.
      If you are not moving much or have a vehicle or touring bike you can get a really good durable tent for very cheap but it will probably be fairly heavy. Tunnel tents like this one are excellent space to weight designs. Tunnel tents are also about the fastest type to set up and take down and normally pitch inner and outer together (which is great if it's raining when you set up).
      Personally if I were living out of it and hoping to work I'd get an old van, SUV or even Toyota Tundra and sleep in that (see you tube - homeless firefighter). You may find a vehicle cheaper than some of these hilleberg tents!

      Hello John3:16 and thanks for the question. I am not sure I can add anymore than what ​@TDubya811 has already covered. Hilleberg tents are not exactly cheap, but they are made very well. We have well over 365 nights in their Nallo 3GT model and despite having the Nammatj, we still take our Nallo out and camp in it. Hilleberg ranks their tents in 4 categories, Blue (specialty), Yellow (Lightest), Red (Mid), and Black (Heavy). You will need to read their descriptions and try to decide what is best for you. There are compromises deciding on which one you go with. Here is a review of our Nallo in case you haven't seen it. ruclips.net/video/vM0uVfuBFPQ/видео.html ~Ron

      Hello Finn, Not that we are aware of and we would not put anything like that on the zippers. However this would be a better question for Hilleberg. Again though we would not do it because it would probably just collect sand and dust.

    Question:
    Have you considered the Kaitum GT 3 instead of the Nammatj GT 3? What made you decide to go for the Nammatj? I ask this because I'm considering the same :-))

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  7 лет назад +3

      Hey there Andrisig33. Sorry for the late response but I didn't see the notification that you left a message. We did not look at Katium 3GT probably because of the footprint size, it is just over 5 meters and that is pretty long. We also like the fact that the Nammatj has screens over the vents and one at the door. Are you buying a tent for bicycle touring? Do you plan on wild camping? A 5 meter footprint may be tough sometimes in tight areas if you are. It's not impossible but that is a lot of floor space. Measure it out, we did and the only reason we didn't go with the Keron 3GT. We have no doubt that regardless of the tent you choose, you're going to be very happy with Hilleberg. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please ask. Thank you again. Ron

    • @andrisig33
      @andrisig33 7 лет назад +1

      Thanks for your advice. In the meantime I have bought a (secondhand) Nammatj 2 GT and used it for three nights. The Nammatj is long enough by itself and I agree a Kaitum 2 GT, needing a meter more in length, will make me feel bad for some reason. I’m going to enjoy this Nammatj 2 GT :-))

    hi could you not have reused the Old Nallo footprint ? BR Jens

    • @PedalPowerTouring
      @PedalPowerTouring  4 года назад

      Hello Jens and thanks for the question. Honestly, I have no idea and this is something we did not consider doing since we still use our Nallo. I did just take a quick look over on Hilleberg's site and they do not say anything about them being interchangeable. Comparing the footprint sizes of both tents it looks very close, so maybe it would work. However, if you look under each tent's accessories, they are listed as different weights, so I am guessing there is something different. For sure if this is all you had, you could get it to work just like any tarp. If you find out the answer please let us know. Thank you ~Ron

    Way to expensive now for a tent I used to love them but I simply can't afford one anymore wanted get a new one for family adventures £2000 plus for a tent. Come on hilleberg I could take the family two times to New Zealand for 2 weeks for that price, we should all stop buying them for a bit and its either lower your prices or go out of business , harsh I know but your taking to much money from hard working people, and life just sucks 😕

      Hello Me and My Pooch! I appreciate the feedback, but your comment should really be directed to Hilleberg. We are just a couple of folks doing a review of their tents and have no connections to Hilleberg. We do love their tents and after spending more than 365 nights in the Nallo 3 GT while bicycle touring the world, we can only say you get what you pay for. Are you sure they are £2000? That does not sound right and sounds about 3 times more than they really cost, based on the Pound to Dollar conversion. ~Ron

      @@MrMarkas3 yeah I've never looked at this tent, but yes it is over $2000. I don't think this one is for your everyday or even remotely everyday camper though. It is a speciality tent from what I can tell and I'm assuming the folks that are buying this tent are able to afford the high cost. All I know is, we are very happy with our Hilleberg tents and while they are bit pricey when compared to other well known names, Hilleberg tents are quality and made in Europe and not China.
