Quick Review and first impressions after one night sleep in -4 - +4 degrees Celsius temperature in Scandinavian (Northern Europe) spring climate.
Very nice to walk again in Abisko through a beautiful virtual video! ❤❤ Have a nice weekend friend.👍👍 Love from India
Great tent I like the blue color - nice video
Thanks for your comment Hans! Blue color is nicely calming, but it's also a safety feature as it's easier to spot in a wilderness.
Hi
Thinking about I should buy an Abisko Shape 2 tent. I am 2 meters tall and am a little worried about whether I can sit up in the tent and whether I can lie down.
In addition also how wind stable it is - Can it handle a storm of 25 - 30 m / S (60-70 mph) for example
Some experience ?
Hi and thanks for your comment!
The theoretical max length of the main compartment is 220cm, but the only problem might be that the foot end wall is steep yet not vertical. I demonstrated the length lying on a 6,4cm pad with my shoes on leaving 10cm space between the vestibule/door and I could touch the inner fly with my toes. I suppose that you would encounter similar issue with thicker sleeping pad. On the other hand it's possible to lean a bit to the vestibule direction without getting any condensation from there and I would assume that 210cm is absolute maximum height for this tent without waking up socks soaked during a rain or heavy condensation period (temperatures near 0 degrees Celsius).
The sitting height is only 95cm in the middle (right next to the vestibule) and gets lower in every direction. Even I cannot sit there in absolutely full posture and need to either bend my neck minimally or sit in a bad posture. 😅 I think this is mainly not an issue, but if there is need to stay inside for extended periods (bad weather), It could get irritating.
I suggest you to measure your sitting height and simulating tent height some way. For example use a stick or something installed in a specific height (95 to 75cm) and try sitting/crawling/dressing under it to get a clue how things work. Of course it would be the easiest way to see and test pitched up tent.
I haven't seen any wind tunnel etc. test results although I've tried to find those badly. All I know that Fjällräven Abisko series (Lite, Shape, Endurance) are popular in the Lapland (and polar) region in the northern Sweden and Finland.
I think the tent can withstand tough winds as long as it's pitched an angle to the wind (usually foot end towards the wind). I think that this is why manufacturers have made it this low to perform well in windy areas. There are also enough guy lines and guy points to stake tent firmly.
There are many videos from Fjällräven Abisko Lite (it's almost similar since it's only missing third pole), which show quite extreme performance even though tent is very light.

Have a nice trekking!
Did you sleep in the tent when u found the condensation?
Yes, I did sleep good 8 hours from dusk till dawn (no pun) and it was -4C to +3C, mild gusts approximately 2-3m/s and the place was dry land far from any water sources.
I must mention that while I used the same tent in the beginning of September at Lapland next to big lakes in valleys the condensation was as hard as it gets. Although none got inside the inner tent it took quite a long time to wipe off excess water to dry the tent before packing. The weather was also quite humid at that time.
Thanks for your comment!
