As the former factory and main branch manager of a specialised protective clothing manufacturer, I am extremely impressed with every facet of your production process. Your Quality Control Inspection is unequalled and I am particularly impressed that each Specialist Professional Seamstress is personally responsible for constructing each complete tent to which they attach their name. The only other company I know of to do this is Aston Martin, whose Engineers attach a nameplate to each engine that they have individually built. I am also a former Motorcycle Mechanic and ran my own Motorcycle Workshop so I appreciate the pride of each of those Engineers, likewise your Specialist Professional Seamstresses.
Plain awesome to see. Love to see how the greatest tent is put together by a small tight knit group, instead of a huge factory where the individual care is lost.
@@richardjones990 I must admit I have learned by looking at how they do it. From materials to technique. I also get some insight too from their repair person. All great people. Thanks for the compliment.
bought myself a staika the other week ..... love it .... its nice to see a company involving their customers in all things hilleberg ... nice one petra
have two - basically a winter and a 3 season tent - Absolutly love them. Learned a long time ago - pay once , cry once ;) - compared with other brands, the pricing is very competive, that is, if indeed you want a quality tent, and in that regard they are the top tier.
I have an ancient Stalon tunnel tent of 1986 - and still use it. Apart from some minor things all is well. Used it in heavy snow and storms in the Alps for a very long period. Its absolutely worth the money. Thanks Petra & the entire crew!
.... and that's why I chose Hillberg. If it is possible to fall in love with a tent, then it happened to me. I love my Unna tent! Great many thanks for a priceless tent!
So cool to see the people who made my Nammatj 3 GT that I really love and recommend! Its the best tent for a motorbike nomad like me 🤩 Thanks a lot!🎉🎉🎉
I'm a huge (and very new) fan of Hilleberg. When I received my Nammatj 2 GT in November, I enjoyed reading the catalog, the stories about the company and tents. I'm starting a RUclips channel about my outdoor activities, and my very first video will be a review and first setup of the tent. One thing I remark on specifically in the video is the name of the seamstress :) It is so nice to see this production in this video, to put faces to these stories that you write about in your catalog. Thank you for the love, thought, and care you put into each and every one of our tents.
arggggg... we were so close to you when we cycled from Parnu to Tallinn in 2014. Would loved to have stopped by and said hello and thank you for making great stuff to the crew there. Maybe on our next, around the world bike ride. ~Ron & Petra (Florida)
Bought my Soulo in Germany and it’s now exploring the outdoors here in the Pacific Northwest mountains near Vancouver, BC with me. Such an exceptional design and quality.
I own currently four of your tents: Nallo 2 from 1995 (that had been quite an investment for as a student!), a Keron 4 from 2000 (my "basecamp tent"), a Staika 2012 (which served me well EVERY day during a three month Canada motorcycle trip) and a Anjan 2 since last spring for the warmer summer days. All of them are still in use, depending on the time of the year and the activity. You can be proud of your products!
Massage every week, wish all employers had to do this. Nice quality and manufacture, just cant justify the price of the tents. Love the enthusiasm of this lovely lady.
So cool! This is real quality. The makers as well as the buyers of such a tent can be proud of their product. Screw Chinese factories. We need to bring back our jobs and raise the quality of our products simultaneously. Hilleberg sets the right example.
Wow! Awesome, so great 😊, I’m 65 due to retire and only got into trekking in the last 6 months, lots of research to build up my eqpt, ie, who makes the best quality, and found Hilleberg! I think I have watched every RUclips vid on Hilleberg tents😂 amazing, so glad you folks have stayed true to your vocation, making the best tents available. I’m just about to get my first Hilleberg from Wild Earth here in Australia, still deciding which is the first one, Akto or Niall, and then Alliak or Staika for ,y second for the Kayak, great tour of Factory, please consider doing a longer in-depth tour in future, very interesting 👍😊
Thank you! Glad you like it. We do have a longer video from the factory as well on our web-site. :) us.hilleberg.com/EN/videos/hilleberg-estonia-factory/
That is a fantastic manufacturing facility Petra. Each tent has a proud builder whom puts their name on every tent. Wow! Several years ago, I saw an Hilleberg ad in Road Runner and Motor Cycle Touring Magazine. From that ad, and after looking at countless videos, I knew the Staika and Niak tents were for me.
Supremely best tents made. I own the Stalon GT 2 and the Akto solo, still going strong after almost two decades. They are Sierra Nevada California proven. You feel invincible in a Hilleberg and the cheery yellow interior always brightens your day no matter what the weather.
This is why I own 2 Hillebergs (Soulo & Stika). A great company takes care of it people - those people make great products; which we customers happily pay for. I've owned many good tents, nothing comes close to a Hilleberg. I've been in some ugly weather in my Hilleberg's. I wouldn't own anything else. Keep up the fantastic work, your customers love the products.
As an architectural engineer I noticed that the factory itself is a tunnel tent (without sloping ends). Nice to meet the people who build my reliable Nammatj who make me feel safe i all kinds of weather. Petra, I would recommend some sound barriers between some departments, at least from the factory - the lunch room. Keep making great tents and videos!
Hello. We test the tents all over the world, but mainly at our offices in Frösön, Sweden and Washington, USA. You can learn more about our tent testing in our wind video. ruclips.net/video/3eFAyKMz314/видео.html If you have any specific questions, you can always email our customer service team at tentmaker@hilleberg.com. Hope that helps.
Here south koreamany koreands like(love) Hilleberg tents.those tents are very creative and seem to be strong.and those colors are very fantastic.We koreans will buy H-tents .I think H-tent has a lethal weak point is very very expensive.the price may not down this year?Ha Ha...Good luck H-tent maker this year.
Headquarters and R&D in Sweden and production in Estonia, as far as I know. If they’d still produce in Sweden, the tents would obviously be even pricier.
I write this with respect and love. I personally don't want to see how an a (escape to nature) tent is manufactured by people that are literally living a life I use my tent to escape from. The restaurant area sounds incredibly noisy to digest food comfortably. Peace and Love
why are all the employees female? Are they more efficient? Guess when you charge 1k+ per tent you can afford a masseur. Definitely increases employee loyalty, but does it increase production efficiency?
That’s obviously because sewing is a female dominated profession. The masseur probably decreases the total amount of sick leave days in the factory. Above all it’s nice to see that my tent maker of choice isn’t treating their employees like shit.
Now I can understand why Hilleberg hasn't done anything with Cuben fiber (Dyneema). They are so set in their production methods that they can't adapt to the new manufacturing requirements in the same space they construct standard (sewn) tents. That sucks too! I want a Keron 4 GT for long stay basecamps while ebike touring, but I will not buy another tent that isn't made of Dyneema. Lighter, stronger, waterproof (it will not absorb moisture) why would anyone? The biggest reason that it is still relatively expensive is that companies like Hilleberg haven't jumped in and committed to its use. That will cost them in the long run as other companies turn away from old school materials.
We constantly and continuously test new materials vigorously in the lab, in the field and in the windmachine and we have so far found that the performance attributes of our Kerlon fabric are the best that we can find.
@@HillebergTentmaker LOL!!!!! Sure, sure, because using a material that can absorb water and needs to be coated in silicone is better than using one that can't absorb moisture. Great answer, it confirms everything I said. Enjoy the ride to the bottom Hilleberg maybe K-Mart will start unloading your tents for ya. No, just kidding, they will be selling Dyneema tents too. Maybe marketing them for deserts is your best bet.

Nightforce rifle scopes also have names attached each scope on who built/inspected it

Kind of how you make things.

I’m on my third Hilleberg tent now, I am addicted to them. The quality is absolutely outstanding, second to none.
You've made me decide on a Hilleberg tent. Your factory and quality control are amazing.
No wonder these are the best tents in the world. Amazing ❤️

Best tents in the world. My oldest is nearing 20 years of serious use. I wish I owned them all, they are works of art, and so, so well made.
.... and that's why I chose Hillberg. If it is possible to fall in love with a tent, then it happened to me. I love my Unna tent! Great many thanks for a priceless tent!
Thanks for the shop visit Petra! Always great to see manufacturing and how employees of a product are taken care of. Your team should be proud. 💪❤
Own four now. Probably five soon. Amazing quality. Really phenomenal.

That is great to hear. We are so glad that you are having fun with your tents. Hope you will have many more fun adventures with them. :)
Well thought out and consideration given to all staff. A lot of companies could learn a lot just by watching this video.
I have a Nallo 3Gt btw 🤗
Awesome, i have recently taken delivery of my Anjan 3... love it to bits. The Quality is exemplary
Best tents in the world, period..
Massage room and everything. Wow

Fantastic ⛺️. Great tents too 👍
I sooooo want one me and the wife use a snugpak bunker tent hunting in mountains but one of these will be nice someday ☺️
Genial, eine Traumhafte Manufaktur. Hand Made und wird es gelebt.
I always wanted to know how they make and manufacture tents!
What Hilleberg does is not the most economical, but it ensures that the product is the best it can possibly be.
Cool place
Are there going to be any videos of the Stalon XL anytime soon?
Very, very nice , and strong.....i wish i could afford to buy it..
Hilleberg are very god and strong tents. 👍👍👍⛺️🏕
asbus100 yes, they are godlike for sure ;)
Next week iam going to camp in freezing weather with my Hilleberg Akto.
A tent that is not made in China deserve credit these days 👍🏻
Pretty cool, I’m gonna check my tents now see who made them. Why did i think they were from sweden ?
00:15 No, I think they are quiet because the boss walked in. :D
You're awesome!!
Okay, but where do you test the different weather conditions to detect or improve weakness in the tents? water Leaks, condensation, all those factors?

@@HillebergTentmaker ok.
Its a lot smaller than I though it would be. Petra, anything new coming in 2019?

P.Si have Hilleber 'Allak(sand) and Soulo(green)they are very fantastic and useful.
Nice to see real work.. and not mass produced cheap nonsense made in china. I just bought my Hilleberg soulo and love it.
what make of sewing machines do you use
Looks like Santa’s workshop I’ll have to check to see if mine was sewn by Monica :-)
Any water to test it would be nice
Is it have a new stuff sack?🧐
한국에 공장 설립해줘요
Look like good tents but they are CRAZY expensive!! ☹️
i thought they were swedish company
Headquarters and R&D in Sweden and production in Estonia, as far as I know. If they’d still produce in Sweden, the tents would obviously be even pricier.
Any one see them make mesh inner lol

Made in Estonia with cheap labour costs and sold for inflated prices! Why aren't they made in Sweden?
Old people 😮
