Hilleberg Nallo 3 vaellusteltta

Well designed tent with lots of nice touches, let down by two major flaws.

For use in high winds, cold temperatures, and snow.

Think you could try something else, like the Hilleberg Tarra.

After reading some glowing reviews on this tent, I took the leap and bought a Mountain 25. Very good decision. I recently spent 4 days camping at 3,800m whilst climbing Mt Blanc. My girlfriend and I got caught up in a thumper storm which would have destroyed our old tent. Not this tent. She shook and groaned for most of the night, but held up perfectly. There were times when gusts were well over 150km/h. One of our neighboring tents was actually blown away (the owners were sleeping in the lodge). I also bought the ground sheet which seems like a good extra layer to keep moisture out when camping on the snow. Downsides, like other comments, not the lightest tent and takes some practice setting up. I would not go high altitude without it.

I bought this tent back in 2006 and have used it twice every year in snow conditions since. Positives: - very strong in the wind, especially if you use all the guide points - unlike other tent manufacturers, the tent bag actually is made to fit all the components - bright yellow colour stands out in white out conditions - Glow in dark zippers Negatives: - It's not the lightest tent around - The floor isn't very waterproof if you get the spring or autumn snow/shower sort of weather - Takes a while to set up but it's worth it!
