Tunnel Tents are AWESOME - Hilleberg Nallo 2 Tent Review

Why do I not see more people using tunnel tents, they are fantastic backpacking tents. In particular this Hilleberg Nallo 2 tent is probably the best tunnel tent out there. It's a 2 person tent that strikes the perfect balance between weights vs space vs strength. Hilleberg are well know for creating high quality camping gear and this 2 man tent is no exception. The Hilleberg Nallo 2 backpacking tent is superb in every way apart from the price tag. This is expensive backpacking gear but should last a lifetime if looked after. Tent Specifications: Hilleberg Tent Weight Specs: Flysheet & inner weighs: 1852g Poles weigh: 318g Total weight: 2170g (excludes pegs & bags) Pegs x16 weigh: 184g Construction + Materials Inner tent area: 2.6 m2/28 ft2 Vestibule area: 1.3 m2/14 ft2 Fly fabric: Kerlon 1200, 30 D High Tenacity Ripstop Nylon 66 Fly treatment: Coated on both sides with a total of 3 layers of 100% silicone, and treated for UV resistance during dyeing and coating Fly hydrostatic head: 5000 mm/49 kPa (ISO 811) Fly tear strength: min. 12 kg (ISO 13937-4) Inner tent fabric: 30 denier Ripstop Nylon Inner tent treatment: Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Floor fabric: 70 denier Nylon Floor treatment: Triple-coated Polyurethane Floor hydrostatic head: 15000 mm/147 kPa (ISO 811) Floor miscellaneous: Highly puncture & abrasion resistant Poles (9mm): 1 x 305, 1 x 260 cm / 1 x 120.1, 1 x 102.4 in Pegs: 16 V-Peg Pack size: 48 x 17cm/19 x 6.5in This is what they say: THE NALLO MODELS are known for their light weight. But it’s their remarkable strength that makes these tents the first choice for anyone needing the lightest weight tents that still offer all-season, all weather functionality. This includes hikers of all types, of course, but also wilderness photographers, climbers, hunters, and other adventurers who want to get more out of carrying less. Solo hikers can easily choose the near-palatial space of the Nallo 2 without any real weight penalty, just as two- and three-person parties can “size up” for the Nallo 3 and Nallo 4, respectively, without exceeding their weight “budget.” Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9mm poles make for a very lightweight yet supremely stable tent. All season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjustable fabric panels. Tunnel construction offers maximum space to weight ratio and is the ideal choice for mobile journeys. A good amount of room for two occupants and their gear. Linked but seperable inner and outer tent for simultaneous pitching. Tunnel design requires only four pegs for pitching, and the simple, single opening continouse sleeve and pole tensioner system is quick to pitch and remarkably stable. A single entrance and vestibule afford easy access and plenty of storage space, but keep the weight very low. The lower portion of the rear outer wall can be rolled up for greater venting options. An optional footprint covers the entire area of the outer tent, including the vestibules. It connects directly to the tent, and can be left attached during pitching. The inner tent can be replaced with a Mesh Inner tent (sold separately; see accessories). The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires optional pole holders (see accessories).
