One of the best 4 season tents on the market... the type of tent that will take whatever you throw at....but for the price, you better be throwing some major at it. Not a tent for everyone but for those who want to explore the wilder side of winter, it is a fantastic purchase. - Luke

[@camobra]

TheOutdoorGearReview Great review. I’m not sure if you get this request a lot. And I’m not sure if you actually purchase or keep all this gear, but could you do a video on how you store everything? As some who also likes to find that “perfect” piece of equipment sometimes storage is an issue. Especially clean, organized, and accessible storage options. I’m sure others would love to see how you handle the plethora of gear you own.

[@raynman67]

TheOutdoorGearReview 3lbs lighter than my Moss Thunderdome GT, got a great deal on my Moss but don’t have a problem spending money on a 4 season tent, you don’t cheap out when your going out in the extremes, my Moss is a fortress I can feel safe in no matter what the conditions are, that gives you a giant physiological advantage knowing you’ll be safe snug and dry in the worst conditions, especially when you know your gear will not fail. You’ll find it was worth every penny

[@ktheis1]

Great review! I've looked at these tents when my job put me away from civilization from time to time, but never made the plunge. Funny, but I know many that think nothing of dropping $1000 a year on the latest smartphone, but for something that would keep you comfortable in high winds and 2 feet of snow, balk at spending more than $200. Priorities.

[@bmbpdk]

True.

[@Andy007400]

So you are comparing a daily essential in most peoples lives to something your average person might use a few nights a year? Pretty poor comparison.

[@remypericard6508]

@@Andy007400 Do you really think a 1200$ smartphone is a daily essential for a lot of people ? But you're right, for most people, a black label is just a toy train set.

@@Andy007400 In France the S21 costs the same price as a Nammatj 3 and the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max 6,7" 128 Go is more expensive than the Nammatj 3 GT. One can get more pleasure using a more expensive smartphone. But a solid tent you can use for years and years is incentive to spend time in the wild (were there is no network!).

[@mr.fisher3973]

Great honest review - If you want the high-end stuff your gonna pay for it, doesn't matter if it's tents or backpacks!!!

[@tapirashabrack]

About the price issue, I once bought an exhibition model of a Nallo 3 GT from the official french retailer. 700€ compared with the 1100€ for a new one. I spent 3 weeks in Norway camping every night. After my trip I decided to sell the tent which is great but not exactly my cup of tea for rocky mountain trips with little ground space. I easily found a buyer at... 700€. I didn't loose a dime and saved myself expensive norwegian accommodation fares. Hilleberg tents are not an expense, they're an investment.

[@andrewabell8617]

After a lot a research I purchased the Nallo 2 GT, more than happy to surrender the $1400 (this included the footprint). As I’ll be either backpacking or backcountry skiing in the Victorian Alps in Australia, my mind will be at ease if caught in a snow storm or just bad weather. Is it more tent than I need? Most likely but I rather be over done than under done when it comes to my safety and piece of mind that the tent will more than handle what will be thrown at it👍

[@freyasworn2600]

I’m planning a trip to Scotland this winter for 4 months. Sep- onwards.. I’m torn between this and your purchase, how you finding it?

[@andrewabell8617]

@@freyasworn2600 unfortunately haven’t had the opportunity in the past twelve months to get out into the Australian backcountry mainly due to work and family. If you want a little more headspace go for the Nammatj, but if you want a little more vestibule space the Nallo (non GT version). The main reason I purchased the GT version was it gives me extra vestibule space in case of foul weather events. The other consideration would be how much weight are you willing to carry, in the non GT versions, the Nammatj comes in at 3kg (6lb 9oz) were as the Nallo is 2.4kg (5lb 5oz) mainly due to the materials used. I think that the Nammatj be more than adequate for your trip to the Scottish highlands, but in the end it comes down to personal choice.

[@alanhunter2051]

i have a Tarra and a Soulo. Both are fantastic tents. I have been camping for nearly 40 years now. I have had tents from other named brands. My north face dome tent was fantastic but bought in the 80s. I looked at every model that was 4 season and thought the quality was crap. Reviews for some were shocking. Hilleberg all the way for me. I am a low paid worker and i went without untill i could afford mine. I got caught in really bad weather on a hill when i heard people outside shouting hello.... I opened the flap and there were two folk who were trying to make it to shelter in the dark. They had a msr tent which snapped the pole and ripped it open. They couldnt believe just how stable my Tarra was. We three crashed out for the night and in daylight went and collected what was left of their tent and belongings. They were so grateful for my shelter. They have a couple of Hillebergs now. I still keep in contact with the couple. Pros Bomb proof amazing tents. Cons heavy bulky and expensive. For me can you put a price limit on your safety on a hill in gale force wind or driving snow.

[@kartofff]

I used to sell those. About the sack, I quickly had a theory. It is super practical. But it looks big on the shelf, besides other tents. Knowledgeable customers who've tried to pack a frozen tent even only once do appreciate the fact. But most people look at it and think "oh that's bulky". Then look at another tent, same weight, same packed volume, in a tight sack, and think "this will be easier to fit into my backpack". This is not only a tent that people choose. It is a tent that choose its people. :-)

[@azclaimjumper]

Well said!...."a tent that chooses its people"

[@tomaskarlsson5864]

Facts must be correct.. Hilleberg the tentmaker is based on Frösön, Östersund in Sweden😉 You are correct When you're saying that Hilleberg tents is the best of the best!! I use a Staika myself. Just love it. Stay safe and away from Covid 19.

[@qeull]

I got sick of tents that could not stand up to the extreme winds we get in the aussie high country in both summer and winter. It can snow anytime if conditions are right. We had a near disaster one winter when our tent crapped itself. Never again. Had many brands, then I got hold of one of these and never looked back. Most of my friends have these as well, and for one reason, you can depend on them. We are not brand junkies. All good to slag people off for buying them, but who cares. I went without other stuff to get one of these. If people want to spend their hard earned on one of these or any other item it's their business. No seam sealing, integral pitch, strong, quality. I don't see the quality in many other brands (that used to be quality items) back in the day doing the rounds these days. Get one and sleep in the confidence that they give you. How much is that worth ???

[@petergilbert72]

Nice review. One detailed correction: if you swap the standard yellow inner for a summer mesh inner there is no saving in weight. Hilleberg say they weigh the same.

Designed and manufactured in Sweden and the landscape Jämtland, and the weather in Jämtland Sweden are sometimes challenging :) They also have a very nice second hand value in Sweden at least in the states I do not have that information. Worth every dime if you plan to tent in the Winter or some areas of Sweden where the windgust can be double that of a hurricane.

[@felixcat9318]

I consider these tents to be the best of type, just like Alpacka Raft Packrafts are the best of their type (and Alpacka Raft invented the type!). Quality of this standard enhances one's safety and wellbeing and over the years of ownership is actually really surprisingly inexpensive. Quality equipment wears well in arduous conditions and lasts for many years, giving good service whenever needed. A $1000 tent that's still going strong 15 years later doesn't really cost that much per year, and a quality manufacturer will offer a repair service in case of accident damage.

[@Raevenswood]

This is an Arctic expedition quality tent. I saw a documentary where a photographer took this tent to Ellesmere Island north of Greenland in the middle of winter and was there for two months loving in this tent. It survived the worst conditions imaginable. In that use case the 800$ was life saving.

You have the best reviews. Kudos to you! I have the Hilleberg Nallo 2 tent. I am 5" 11", and the one thing I do not like is the height of the Nallo 2. When I am on my air mattress my head touches the top of the inner tent. I wish Hilleberg would make the inner height in the 41 to 42 inch range. The tent is strong, but because of the lack of height in the inner tent, I would not buy this tent again. Keep up the great work reviewing tents. Any possibility of reviewing the 2018 Eureka Mountain Pass 2 tents?

[@Will-Parr]

Great presentation and review. Like a lot of high ticket items, a person can recoup a good portion of your purchase price on a resale. Also a quality product will last years. Think of it this way. $800 over 10 years at 4 trips per year is $20 per trip. 2 nights per trip is $10 per night. $10 a night is worth staying warm and dry. But yes, for the serious camper.

[@kayasper6081]

I totally agree. During my kayak trips I always rely on my Hilleberg Unna tent. Very, very happy with it. Thanks for your reviews, love them

Hey Thomas! Are we related? Probably. You're the first other Whitten I've come across on KZbin. :-) I've got a Nammatj 2 and use it as my solo tent. Love it. PS I didn't pay retail price either ;-)

[@thomaswhitten2537]

Related? Heck if I know. My 'Whitten' (fathers) side comes from North Mississippi. We come from the Whites Inn region of England. I would hope no one would pay retail price for such an expensive tent. But it is a nice one! My tent days are long gone and were in the day when tents were really bad. There are some larger, walk-in tents that would be alright but they're rather expensive now as well. Luke does a good job of reviews but most of the equipment I either already have or don't need. It's still good to hear about new products from that remaining objective people!

[@erikgranqvist3680]

I know a man, who har spent lots of time thru decades in Alaska, and Swedish Lappland, thru all weather, in tents. He prefer old school heavy tents made by cotto in winter - in woodlands. Reason is, they contain more heat. However, they do not handle wind or snow as well as modern tents.

[@jfgreen1959]

Thing is Lonnie Dupre solo climbed Denali in January with a Hilleberg Soulo, which is a lighter red label tent. If that isn’t a testament to how great these tents are, I don’t know what is.

Take a look at Helsport tents. Same quality as Hilleberg, but with storm mats as standard on their 4 season modells

[@emil1981111]

Having used both Helsport and Hilleberg a lot i can tell you that Hilleberg has a higher standard when it comes to both material and craftmanship. It's not that Helsport is bad just that Hilleberg is better (and more expensive).

I’ve got the nammatj 3 GT and it’s worth every penny. We camped in a named storm (60mph plus gusts) on the Isle of Skye it was the only tent left standing. We sat inside drinking beer. Radio on. Chilling out as if there was no storm. Ours is the green one. My preferred colour on all my tents. I recently bought the staika. The best dome style tent in the world. It got a good debut on my last camp. Wild 55mph wind gusts. It never moved. Hillebergs are the greatest tents. If you’re serious and want to go out in serious conditions. Accept the weight and get one. 👍

Funny story. I saw two of these pitched side by side on a campsite outside Dublin. beside them were two very expensive touring pedal bikes. They stuck out like a sore thumb, and were just asking to be nicked. By contrast a few feet away was a cheap supermarket tent, with two uneven poles and Band-Aids stuck over the outside the rusty BMX bike added to the ambiance!. Beautiful top of the range tents, but i wouldn't fancy leaving one on certain campsites. especially in Europe.

Excellent review, Luke; spoken by a person who has definitely lots of personal experience in severe winter weather with this tent. Your video entitled, "Backpacking in a Blizzard" shows this tent dealing with severe cold, windy, icy weather, the absolute worst Mother Nature can produce. There isn't another youtube video that shows this tent dealing with worse weather. Pitching the footprint, inner, & outer simultaneously is the way all tents should be designed. No problem, pitching this tent in the midst of the strongest, gustiest, coldest, weather Mother Nature can throw at it & one person can easily pitch it. The tear strength of the fabric is stronger than any fabric of any other tent except for the Black Label Hilleberg tents Replies all echo favorable sentiments for any & all Hilleberg tents.

[@joakimg1280]

I think Hillebergs Nallo is a better tent for the "common person" - It is cheaper. - it has less weight 5 lbs 12 oz instead of 7 lbs 4 oz (3 person standard version) 6 lbs 13 oz instead of 8 lbs 13 oz (3 person GT versions). - It has Kerlon 1200 instead of 1800 which is a bit weaker but still plenty for a storm. - It has 9mm poles instead of 10mm. - It has V-tent spikes instead of Y-tent spikes. Otherwise it is basically the same tent. I have had my Nallo 4 GT for over 15 years now, and it has never failed me. Last year i broke one of the tent poles, But that was my own fault. I tied up the tent with paracord between 2 trees during a rainstorm, but when the paracord dried it shrank and the tension put on the poles was too much. The only downside is lack of ventilation in the foot box of the older model that I have, but this is something they've fixed on the newer models.

I have it. Got it for $600 on sale. It works for summer, depend what summer you have. In the nordic countries it is perfect. Had it for hiking in the mountains, low land trips and storm in the archipialago kayaking. The dark green (almost black) let less light through the fabric. So it is cooler in sun than the red one. Yes, a dark tent are cooler than a bright. It adsorbs more light in the outer fabric and radiate it off as heat. A bright tent let all this light energy into the tent where it turns to heat on all dark surfaces. Like a polar bears fur. Heat you have to vent out of your tent in summer.

Great review but you repeat yourself quite a bit. Hilleberg is the standard for outdoor tents.

You can't build a shelter in the places were this tent was made to use.There is nothing to build a shelter with unless you dig a hole in the snow and ice. The vast places were there are no materials other than snow and temps are well below freezing and there is lots of wind gusts.

The price of this thing (or most tents for that matter) are just ridiculous. It's a tarp with some flexible poles. How the heck are they that expensive? There isn't that much material or engineering in them. $875 for a tent that fits 1 person comfortably? That's stupid expensive.

That is a pretty good weight for a 4 season tent. And Hilleberg is not known for making light tents at all. Never understood why people use stuff sacks for tents and their components on the trail. Tent fits into pack better when you just stuff it in your pack. Just my opinion.

Luke, I am loving this pure tent porn. Great channel and content for us outdoor enthusiasts. You have sold me this tent, you say it will sleep the wife and dog as well. If my wife ever finds out how much I'm going to be spend on this bad boy, me and the dog may end up living in it, either that or I'm sleeping on the sofa for a long time.

Just bought a green hilliberg saitaris with foot print and extra set of poles for UK winter camping with my son . Have you reviewed this tent or used it.🇬🇧

[@gallente4TW]

Lol, look at skinny Luke..!

[@conedprepper]

How would compare this tent to the snugpak cave?

[@jeromebullard6123]

Wow less than an iPhone 12 or Samsung galaxy! Well worth the money.

[@azclaimjumper]

Excellent comparison because people think nothing of spent $1500 on an iPhone.

[@madman432000]

$800 for a tent that lasts 20 years... You didn't mention the cordage they use and brag about it that you can get s full footprint of the same material as the bathtub floor

I have this tent and 2 of Hilleberg’s freestanding tents. They all perform beautifully in high winds and rain/snow. If you are going to camp where you know it will be hard to drive stakes, consider the Unna 1 person or the Staika or Allak dome tents. They can be pitched anywhere so are good for kayaking along rocky shores or tight, rocky ledges on a climb. They also offer better performance if you are leaving the tent for extended periods of time during heavy snow fall as they won’t compress as much. That being said, the Namatj is super strong, roomy and not too heavy.

Hey Luke, great videos!!! Along the lines of the storage question, you mentioned stuffing the tent inside your pack. Why would you not simply strap the tent to the outside of your pack (bottom or top)?

[@wallytuescher2175]

you should do a review on the "Arctic Oven Igloo". It's not a backpacking tent and it's way pricier but it is a 3 person plus 4 season tent. Check it out.

[@unconventionalforager6389]

Great video with actual outdoor living experiences. Will you consider replacing your stacks with something other than aluminum? Thank you

[@tonybevel5057]

Great review and very thorough. This will be my next tent. Thanks for the best outdoor reviews on KZbin, Keep them coming

[@TALKCalgary]

It's an amazing tent but it has one huge drawback, if your over 6ft you can't situp in this tent without your head hitting the roof.

[@cdesfusa]

Guys like you deserve to be successful. Way to go on everything. Love your info

- Your audio is really messed up. It alternates between good and bad. The volume drops and it's really distorted at times.

[@7Belial7]

Expedition gear. Top in class. Worth every buck if you use it in the right environment.

awesome review man, honest and entertaining! subscribed

I keep coming back to this product and to your review. At 75 years old, I am taking my late-life five-year-old grand twins 'backyard camping.' I would like to do that in cold weather in our fairly mild Virginia foothills location. I watch Survival Russia and maybe you do as well: He has a large and VERY HEAVY winter tent system that is marketed now by Amazon and it includes a properly sized wood stove that he demonstrates. Just this week, I have seen another Northern European tent, the CRUA TRI that also looks seriously winter-hardy. THEY use a sort of heavy felt inner tent that we know will be highly insulative. No stove option for heating. It is marketed as holding light in and as keeping light out and it has a good vestibule. Maybe you have seen it. I am attracted to the Hilleberg products for all-season use because of the mesh inner tent you mention....and because of the ample ventilation. Condensation that forms over cold nights on the inside of a waterproof fly DOES DRIP as it melts in the morning sun.

[@karylhogan5758]

Hope it went well🧐🇮🇪

[@kenmarapese9085]

Nice tent! Based on your experience and the gear you carry I think you would survive if the tent failed.

[@adrianfatan4069]

Hello. I think your comment on Nammatj been dry "every single time" is misplaced. The Nammatj gets wet inside. One part is a design problem, that your sleeping bag and feet get wet, and the other is the two in one tent system (not Hilleberg fault). Try to pack it wet see what happen when you unpack it. The removable fly tents give you the option to pack the wet fly separately, without the pain of removing the inner tent. Also in a snow load, if the weather warms up a little the tent will sag and touch the inner and will drip water, unless you wake up and adjust the tension property.
