    Great tent, great review. ❤️
    Just a thought for anyone thinking of camping in the South Island of New Zealand - red, and orange tents seem to attract the attention of the Kea, our native parrot. It pecks lots of holes in these tent walls!
    Plus these cheeky birds steal food, boots and shoes, and all sorts of things. 😊

    This is a very similar design to the Hilleberg Keb from 1973. My Keb is nearly 40 years old and is still in good condition and useable. It has alumium poles and the inner is cotton so no danger of condensation dripping on you. Of course there is a big weight differnce as the Keb is a lot heavier than the Anaris. My wife and I use used to cycle tour/camp and it was just about carriable between us. It was the very first tent capable of being errected with the inner and outer joined. If you check Hilleberg's history there is a 1973 photo of the same tent. As you say these tents are quality and the fact that mine has lasted so long is a testament to that.

      Bosis of Sweden I got a Niak then almost immediately bought an Unna for the winter. I really enjoy using both. The lack of a vestibule in the Unna makes no difference at all for me. All my gear sits inside to dry out apart from my boots which fit under the outer. In can sit inside and cook with the stove outside. I use the Niak unless the weather forecast is really bad. At 1.7 kg it is only 0.3 kg over the Anaris and freestanding. I am coveting an Anaris but not sure I would take it over the Niak.

      @@iangreatorex1821 I have come to the conclusion it will most certainly be an Unna when I saw that I could buy a mesh inner tent to it. I am not really in need of a 4 season tent since I never wintercamp but have you experienced sandstorm or rain storm with your Niak? Does it let any water or sand in? That is actually my only reservation for choosing Niak instead of Unna since it is lighter even though I love the smallness of the Unna. Free standing tents are my favourite.

      The Strat 2 is a bit heavier, i think 200 grams or so. But also a little roomier. With that said, it’s hard for me to choose one over the other as they are both great. If I was looking to get the ultimate two man tent and a minimum weight than I would choose the Stratospire LI. I wouldn’t use either of these tents in the winter though.

What would be the best solution to keep it maximally isolated? Is it possible to fasten it with pegs to the ground completely?

    Nice, Hilleberg is really starting to compete in the light weight market! 😀
    A full 2-person tent for a fraction above the weight of the H. Enan... as a fairly avid backpacker and used to lightweight backpacking, this is actually the first Hilleberg tent I'd like to own!
    It's a bit heavy for solo trips or solo with the dog, but perfectly acceptable for two.

      @kobold90 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      A few years ago, 1-person tents didn't even exist and the tents you got were at least 3 kg, rather more. The ultralight-trend has it's borders and the comfort and security a Hilleberg offers gives you enough good sleep to cary that single pound extra weight. Don't forget you can safe weight on your sleeping bag if your tent stays dry. All these ultralight single wall tents (zpacks dublex etc.) have heavy drawbacks which are not worth the reduced weight. The worst thing which can happen is a tent that breaks down. Don't get a victim of the ultralight trap. At least not with your shelter.

      @@kobold90 I managed fine with lightweight tents in increment weather lot of times.
      Strong winds, cascading rains, freezing conditions and this summer even a sudden blizzard.
      Why would I feel more secure in a Hilleberg tent?
      I've been in a camp once where about ten tents collapsed and/or was destroyed during the night because of strong winds.. one of them a Hilleberg Unna.
      Sure, Hilleberg tents is generally very good, but they have their limits too, I rather be in a poor tent expertly put up at a well chosen spot than in a Hilleberg sat up by a noob hiker.
      If you think a Hilleberg is safe because it's a Hilleberg... that's a false security and it may prevent you (or someone else who have that false sense of security) to not have a survival plan should the tent break in the middle of the night.
      I know I would have a miserable night, but survive. (Regardless of what tent I might live in during the night.)
      And, for me, a weightsaving of a pound per two persons might loose out, but a weightsaving of about two pounds for the solo trip, then we REALLY have to have much more of an advantage than just a little easier shelter to offset those two pounds.
      But that's for me, I don't care if others carry a 3 kg tent or more.

    • @Backpackinglightse
      @Backpackinglightse  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Willem Knopper I mentioned only the Lunar duo because it’s the biggest of the three (duo, lashan and haven) though all of them are similar in weight around 1,3-1,4kg including pegs and guylines. The Lashan I think is decent enough for beginners - though small. No matter how I lay in it my head and feet mush the outer. The lashan is more or less a copy of the Haven, size, weight and useability wise.
      I wouldn’t really say the Anaris is a copy of the Lashan to be honest, similarities wend with two trekking poles and guy lines. I see it more as a copy and improvement of some of Hilleberg older tents from the 70s. However, when it comes to two man trekking pole tents nobody is really breaking the mold other than Tarptent who has highly creative and ingenius solutions to these style tents are thare completely unique.
      I don’t touch the inner on the Anaris, and if I did thats not a problem for me. My issue is when mushing the outer as that when I get wet from condensation, uncomfortable from pressure points and so on

    My double wall, 2P tent weighs 690 gr, including factory groundsheet, 12 stakes and dedicated tent-poles. I love Hilleberg but I can't justify to carry the double weight. This would be the Koenigsegg on the market, if they could sacrifice their heavy materials and switch to Dyneema. Weld the seams and you are still 20 years in advance of all the cottages (and the only company I know off, who welds Dyneema for their tents outside of China). It would still be a giant step in terms of sustainability - todays lightweight tents are marketed for "one thru-hike" or more or less 180 nights. After that the added gorilla tape weighs more than the tent itself. And yes, Hilleberg could ask 1200 $ for it, people would still buy it like crazy.

Today, you are looking at 1500 $ or more for this tent with factory groundsheet (2 square meters of nylon for more than 100 $) and these stakes, if you want to buy it in a store. The tent is made out of thiner Dyneema than the Duplex, but at least in theory it doesn't require tension on the Dyneema to stand upright, since the outer tent lies on top of the tent pole frame, therefore the Dyneema doesn't have to deal with the same forces. Because it is real double wall, it should stay drier inside. Plus the vents are not directly opposing each other, so you have less drafts but still a good ventilation.

Andrew Skurka made a pretty interesting field review of the Tiger Wall Carbon and it seems pretty obvious that the fabric is simply too thin for real 3 season use, in unclement weather (andrewskurka.com/long-term-review-big-agnes-tiger-wall-carbon-tent/). I would also never camp at an exposed site or in engaged terrain with carbon poles, they simply break when things get realy nasty. So , yes the Anaris is certainly heavier, but it will most probably outlast any BA tent buts will certainly hold it's own in european septentrional weather + it's ethically produced (in Europe with european labor regulation, which is second to none for protecting the workforce).

    Quick questions: Why not go for a lightweight Dyneema tent like the Ultamid? What reasons would you have for choosing this Hilleberg? I'm trying to decide on a lightweight tent and a bit confused about all the choices. Thanks.

    • @Backpackinglightse
      @Backpackinglightse  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Andrew Campbell It really depends. In europe Dyneema tents tent to be twice as expensive than in the USA because of import and duties. So price might be one reason. Also, the durabilty of some of the really lightweight dyneema shelters is questionable over the longterm. There are different grades of Dyneema just as there are different grades of Silnylon. Some shelters use very light dyneema that will wear out after a season or two. Other companies like HMG use proper dyneema that will last more or less forever. There are very few ”proper” dyneema shelters, inner, outer + maximum protection for longterm useage. Another factor to think about when choosing dymeena is packsize. Dyneema does not pack down as tight or small as silnylon.
      But like i said in the video, if you are looking for a super light dyneema shelter, than the Anaris is perhaps not the right tent. And for the budget, If I lived in the USA I would go for the Tarptent Stratospire LI instead. Bigger, lighter and just as well if not better all around protection.

However would like to have a tent for 1 to 2 night trekking taking little space in my backpack. @backpackinglightse

      The Anaris is bigger, lighter and more comfortable. But the Niak is probably better is heavy winds and so on. I would use both in pretty much anything, and having to choose between the two, I would go with an Anaris

      Backpackinglightse thanks a lot - so would it be waste of money me buying Anaris as I already have Niak? I was thinking to use Anaris for hiking alone, Niak for hiking two and for boat trips in archipelago.

    • @Backpackinglightse
      @Backpackinglightse  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depends.. why not use the Anaris for two? Bigger than the niak, more comfortable with the dual entry/exits and so on. The niak is small for two. If you are using trekking poles than the Anaris could be a great fit as it’s not much heavier than the Enan and about twice the size.

      Yes, I’m having a similar ‘discussion’. I have an Allak2 for year-round bike packing in the UK but I want to do some hiking in the hills. For one person Allak is too bulky and heavy really, even on a bike. The Niak looked the perfect all purpose tent but its vestibule is flawed I think as most of it is shaped shallow or low, and you need a path through it for egress. I almost decided on the Enan with its capably shaped vestibule (which would also accommodate my folding bike) but worried it’ll feel claustrophobic - and damp. And then I see the spaciously airy Anaris! So my question is: the Anaris seems to require a huge piece of flat land for pitching with long guy lines. Am I exaggerating and, if not, is there a way to reduce its land take in places that are constrained on space? Thanks.

    A great tent - no dispute - but I'm not convinced it's suited to exposed mountain use, as claimed here. Those are very large, unsupported side panels, and in any kind of wind they are going to flap like crazy. You can even see this in the gentle breeze in the video. Now imagine a 60mph hoolie...

How many million aires are there , just greed and stopping the normal working guy from having one and enjoying life . Hopefully your realise this and lower your prices or just go out of business.

      @Backpackinglightse  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      me and my pooch I Think wishing for other people and business to go badly or go out of business is a very distasteful view of hte world to be honest. I don’t know why HIlleberg prices are so much, I’m not the one who sets the prices - you will have to ask them. Though I guess unionised workforce, top quality materials and years of reseach and development have something to do with it. You can buy a Lashan for example for 100USD. I’m sure it’s a decent tent, but wht about workers, materials and R&D. So I would say its greed of the buyers in the case of the Lashan that makes those prices so cheap. Hilleberg doesn’t have external investors - so most of the money is reinvested into the business. Other brands have high prices because they have to pay investors 20% per quarter - Hillberg doesn’t have that. The money goes to the business and the employees. Again, I think this is something worth thinking about. But of course, you can buy a tarp for 100usd from Nordisk, a Lashan for 100usd or even a Hilleberg Tarp for 200usd. It all depends on what you want and what you value.

      Stuart Sutherland I wish I was getting paid by hilleberg.. but alas, nobody pays me. Though that’s a great idea to start charging for my services. Have you tested the tent? Maybe you can share your own thoughts here? My review is more based on it’s intended purpose and market. Not really for it being the absolute lightest two man tent on the market and I’m fairly open about that in the review. With that said, I had to cut out a lot because either the filming didn’t good a good video (such as me lying down in it) or because of time constraints and repeated messaging and so on. But lying down stretched out with a thick sleeping pad is no problem, though even this I discuss in the video that at times my feet do touch inner tent - but innertent touching is no problem on a tent as the condensation builds up on the outer. I wrote an article on tent comfort at ulcomfort.com.

    • @Backpackinglightse
      @Backpackinglightse  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think knock off of duplex is a bit hyperbolic to be honest. Similarities are two trekking poles, two vestibules and a shitload of tent pegs. I don’t think I need to go through the differences as it’s fairly obvious. But I think if you watch the video I don’t really knock the Duplex - I just say that for certain situations than the Anaris is a better choice, however if looking for the lightest solution possible, than the Anaris is the wrong tent. I talk more about the Lunar Duo which I think is a little fairer comparison as they are abotu the same in weight, pack size and total size.

      @@Backpackinglightse The duplex is certainly better. So much lighter. Although single wall, when pitched correctly, even if raining, a door can be left open at both ends and then condensation is not a problem. Providing the pegs are good, its ok in storm force winds and it has lots of space. Apart from cost, the downside of dcf is that it sounds like you are sleeping in a crisp packet. Every products has its cons, would be nice to hear some mentioned. It seems to have the disadvantages of a trekking pole design without the advantage of low weight.

    Every Hilleberg tent owner complains about condensation and wet sleeping bags, which are dangerous in protracted bad weather. The fault lies with the basic Hilleberg idea of an outer tent pinned right to the ground. This one would have the same problem when closed. It's really just a glorified pup tent and not worth the ridiculous price.
