erewhon Posted January 5, 2003 Posted January 5, 2003 Finally someone's got the idea, and the purity is amazing! I bought this Hilleberg tent after a total of 3 Bibler tents, a Marmot, and a recent SD Hercules. Seeing the light I have now come to be a believer in the Hilleberg series as they have proven to be of the utmost quality. Super light at 7lb 9oz with all the snow goodies it is also so roomy that 4 could easily sleep in it if using the vestibule. (and have room to cook as in a Megamid!) And its a double wall! The vestibule is open floor so you can build benches, cooking platforms, etc...so many options. Easy entrance allows one to "dust off" before even considering opening the inner tent so its easy to keep things dry/clean. Venting is well taken care of with two HUGE vents on either end, and the door provides even more. The only possible downside is that its a huge bombshelter taking up a bit too much space for really technical climbs, but for probably 90% its a hotel for the same weight as a Bibler with the vestibule, etc! Customer satisfaction is amazing. Petra the owner/manager in Washington had it shipped next day, and hand inspected it for me! I am not one to rave about many things, but just felt that someone else may be missing out on a great line of shelters. If youre in the market for a 4 season tent, and tired of shelling out insane amounts of $$$ for little room do check these out. Quote
