ericb Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Looking for a lightweight winter/spring tent, and trying to decide between the Hillberg N2 and a Single Wall tent. Weights are pretty similar, and all are pretty spendy, so mostly focused on function. the HB seems pretty roomy in comparison, and includes a vestibule for the $450. But the larger footprint has pro's/cons. I'm thiking the double wall design is a plus in this climate. I'd welcome any comments or experiences.

kweb Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 My bibler ahwahnee survived a night in 70+mph winds. Trust it with my life for sure. The large door (I have the older one door model) is awesome in fair weather. I also like my ID MK1 for times when Im trying to lighten the load. Condinsation has never been a problem in either tent, and I always cook inside with a hanging stove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_beanntan Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I have used both the ahwahnee and the Hilleberg Nallo. I prefer the Hilleberg. Its huge vestibule is a plus even with the extra footprint. The inner tent can be used on its own. The outer nylon can also be used like a Betamid in the snow. There is the facility to use two poles in the slieve for big winds. Easy to put up since the outer nylon goes up first. Hope this helps. Also a price of $450 is cheap compared to retail. If you do buy the ahwahnee, i have a vestibule, groundsheet and spare poles that I can sell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
