I've had my Enan for six or seven years now, and think that I have the lighter weight version that they manufactured at first. I value all the little details that show that the product was designed by someone who actually uses the product and have the mesh inner and the footprint for it. The footprint I got not for extra puncture resistance but for how much less condensation I get on wet ground and for the ability to skip the interior being put up sometimes, though I rarely do. The only negative in my case is the fiberglass pole. It is pretty easy to take out, but then I'm the sort of person who would quickly lose it. I do a lot of bicycle and motorcycle camping and that pole makes it more challenging to pack away in my hard bags and panniers. But what a great tent it is. It is far stronger than any of my Big Agnes or tarp tents are/were and the same goes for any other lightweight tent. One has to use it to really understand the good points of these tents. And support is second to none. The only other tent I'd buy in the future (and I buy a lot of tents) is the excellent Durston product line.
HUGE TRICK - #1 TIP If you want to easily gain access to either of the flaps that cover/uncover the ventilation ends, simply disconnect 2 toggles that connect the inner to the outer ROOF, then easily reach over to open/close the flap, easy peasy. No one not even Hilleberg mentions/shows this TRICK Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
The main reasons why I bought the enan: 1. Fast to pitch (single pole) 2. inner tent stays dry when pitching during rain 3. Enough space for one person 4. High quality, lasting for a lifetime I was first a really worried about condensation issues, as I have read some horror reviews about it, but I always found myself dry the next morning. The outer tent seems to always getting quite wet on the inside though, but the inner tent on the inside was always completely dry. I'm always using the official footprint. I love the tent 😊
I hiked the Continental Divide Trail with it. That trail is pretty dry and condensation wasn't often an issue. But when there was condensation, I had it in the inner tent, too. Not that I had condensation when the other people didn't have some and condensation was never a deal breaker (except once, my bad). But condensation is an issue you have to adress somehow, at least regarding to my experience.
Really clear and useful review thank you. I have an Enan and I agree with you. I find the lack of a top vent limiting because in rain you can’t keep it open. And in big winds I have found it windy inside because the end flaps don’t seal the tent, and the wind then blows into the bed area through the mosquito net door. But it’s great for better weather, and will survive bad weather. I use the four additional guy points at the corners to make a taut pitch. And I use Red Label V pegs as I don’t find the micro Y pegs supplied very nice or long enough. But a great light weight strong tent overall.
I, too, add 2 supplementary guyline attached to the end of the tent facing into the wind. + I always add big rocks atop the stakes to keep 'em from pulling out of the ground when its strong gusty windy all night. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada. U.S.A.
I have the kerlon 600 version which i bought in 2016. Been using it mostly in the Alps and in Sweden. It can handle high winds very well eventhough this is probably the weakest tent Hilleberg has ever made. I also make use of the extra tie out points on each end, and always pitch perfect. Because i have been in an unexpected storm a couple of times, in the mountains in the middel of the night, i basically make sure the tent is always nailed to the ground. The biggest problem i have with this tent is that it doesn't have enough headroom for someone who is 187cm tall. When there is condensation you need some serious yoga moves not getting wet. Would be nice if it had a couple of extra centimeters. Otherwise perfect tent. Love the layout.
There is little bit strange that the tent producers don't make different sizes to different people. Why not Enan regular and Enan XL? That's how they make it with sleeping bags, backpacks etc. /Matti
The Enan I bought has Kerlon 1000 outer fabric & the floor is the same 70D material as used in the Akto floor. Your tent has a lighter/thinner 50D floor material. I'm 5'3" (160cm) tall, so I have plenty of room inside most any tent ever made. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Thanks for this review of a newer Hilleberg solo tent. The triangular ends are copied from the Tarptent MOMENT DW, an improvement on the AKTO design. The TT MOMENT DW has 2 doors and 2 vestibules. MUCH appreciated for several reasons. I ran my optional Crossing Pole UNDER the fly, securing it with a double-sided Velcro wrap (shortened electronic cable wrap0 sewn inside the fly at the exterior Xing Pole strap reinforcements. You need to shorten the Xing Pole 5" to do this but you get much more fly support this way.
I have the Akto, a fine tent that was very comfortable during solotrips, for example in february a tour in Scotland, snow, rain, strong winds. Very comfortable and feeling safe at all times. I am planning to do a solo trip with this tent together with my border collie australian shepherd mix, about 22 kilo's. It will be interesting to see if we fit in the tent together 😅
Excellent review, as always, Matti. The angle of the peg placement had never even occurred to me until watching this video. I've never actually used the standard supplied pegs. All of my camps using the Enan, so far, have been on on peat moorland. You need different pegs for this type of terrain. The first two of three inches are loose mossy soil and therefore I use either delta, or 10" tornado shaped pegs. Absolutely essential for my pitches.
Thanks! We also use different pegs. Normal pegs, nail for frozen ground or ice and the big snow pegs. Interesting with this different solutions we need in different places. 😀 /Matti
I normally add big heavy rocks atop the pegs instead of longer pegs. Here in Nevada, I can always find big heavy rocks. Plus I always stake out two supplementary guy lines attached to the end of the tent facing into the wind. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Tjena Matti! Bra recension på tältet. Jag har den röda 😁✌️ Jag använder även längre stormlinor och footprint. Det hjälper mig att hålla borta kondens från marken.
Hello, just became your fan from Corea and thanks for the detailed review. Annie is lovely 🐕 💕 and enjoy seeing your 🐕🐶 💕in the future video. Cheers and happy trails. Paul Kim 😊
Thank you for this awesome and thorough review. Subscribed to your channel solely because of this video you've made. I really enjoyed this and found it very informative. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. I just purchased the Enan and it should arrive sometime in April. I look forward to using it on bikepacking and solo canoe trips in Ontario, Canada.
I have a dark green Enan that I bought in March 2020. Two months earlier Hilleberg changed the floor fabric to the same stronger material used in the floor of Akto's. You're right, at this time Hilleberg has an approximate 9-12 months wait B4 your backorder will be made. Your right about the difficulty of fastening or unfastening the vent materials which would become even more difficult at night or during a storm. I keep the footprint attached to my tent because I like a floor covering the ground in the vestibule area. Pitching this tent, fly, & footprint simultaneously is THE way all tents should be engineered/designed/manufactured. Although Hilleberg considers this a 3-season tent, I know it is stronger than some so-called 4-season tents made by other manufacturers. Having the fly come all the way to the ground is what I wanted. I didn't want a so-called 3-season tent where the fly leaves a 3"-4" space between the fly bottom & the ground. My Enan has reliably provided me with shelter from ferociously strong gusty winds, all night that I staked out with big heavy rocks on top of the stakes & had no concerns that my tent material would be torn, or that poles would break, or that my tent stakes would be pulled out of the ground. I've said this B4 & I say it again; the Enan is a stronger 3-season tent than the majority of other brands of so-called 4-season tents. 11 minutes into this video & I noticed a red Akto in the background. You made no mention of the 2 supplementary tent attachments at both ends of this tent which are designed to be tieout points for 2 additional guyout lines - at both ends of this tent. Those additional guylines helped to hold my tent like a rock in strong gusty winds. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Here is a lil tip on the technique of releasing the guyline tension. Straighten the fingers of your gloved hand, now insert your flat hand just above the tensioner & between the two lines. Now simply turn your hand 90º. That will release the tension, easy peasy!.
I had an Akto and got depressed by the coffin feeling and the terrible yellow inner tent. I had many other brands and sizes with my wife. Next season I want to bike and camp in my neighborhood for a week. I look at the Enan but also the Fjallraven Abisko lite. Actually this is the improved version of the Akto. It has some features I want on the Akto and Enan. To be honest as a Dutch money saver I like the price of the Abisko better.
I have the dark green Enan. Never again will struggle with trying to attach a fly to the inner during a strong gusty windy situation. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada. U.S.A.
I agree re no need for a footprint. I use my emergency survival bag as a footprint with my other tents... I'm carrying it so I might as well get a double use out of it.
Do you carry an extra survival bag when you have a tent? I have never done that. Interesting with all different ideas and of course... a dedicated footprint is quite useless if you compare with an survival bag! 😀 /Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Hi.. Yes I carry a survival bag, for high visibimty if I" m ever in a rescue situation. I"d slash the foot and side and spread it out.. I also carry a bivibag as I enjoy bivying so that is really my 'survival bag.'
Another intelligent review. Another tent that could really use some rain protected ventilation ports up high as well in the ends. That is the reason I did not add it to my shelter inventory.
Thanks! I will make a review of Anjan next summer. I had to use this little bit more before I can really say anything real about that tent. I already think lots of things but I have to stay open minded and use it in different conditions and situations. I'm also looking forward to know more about this tent. Is there any more type of equipment you want to see reviews of or How to videos? Thanks for feedback. It's really valuable for us to get this kind of hints about what you guys want to know more about. /Matti /Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNAthanks for your fast answer. We consider the Anjan as an lighter alternative to our Nallo. We use it mainly for high mountain trekking at Korsika. From late spring to late autum. You do lots of altimeters there. So lightweigt gear is essential. Condinditians can also be quite rough. But if the Anjan fits the needs of an professional tour operator in northern scandinavia, it will be enough for us too😉. It would be interessting to see what kind of sleeping bags or systems you use on your tours. And why.
Extremely helpful review. I’ve ordered an Enan and Tarp5. I couldn’t get one in Scotland as there’s no stock so I had to order from France. Thanks for this very helpful review, I’ve watched it three or four times. 👍🏼
I bought one and am a little disappointed. I found the sagging of the outer tent after moisture touched the inner tent and it was just a condensation vortex. I also found the angled ends to be somewhat confining (and I am only 5’8” (not sure about centimeters). My sleeping bag touched the inner tent and got wet on a completely dry night (although it was cold out). Maybe i need to sleep with the door open but it was at or slightly less than 0 centigrade and was pretty cold to leave the door completely open. Bringing a warmer sleeping bag would add even more weight. I am investigating the akto or the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 (slightly heavier, but might address these issues due to architectural differences).
Ja...det är inte ett kort tält. Sedan så är det lite konstigt att de flesta tält görs för små personer som mig. Vet inget märke som har olika storlekar av samma tält. Ex Enan regular och Enan XL... 😀 så gör man ju med sovsäckar. /Matti
I really love your personality. It is so awesome. I love it so much. I have the Akto and really thinking the Enan would be a better Jennifer, the Baja Mexico divide from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, and hold up the wind
En av mina kompisar som försökte sig på Enan tyckte att det var svårt att få stramt. Jag säger som Stina: dom är för små med hund För några år sedan investerade jag i Rogen, det tycker jag är ett utmärkt lättviktsval med hund!
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA jo, det är ju lite lättare, men orsaken till att jag valde Rogen var två absider. Suveränt när det är varmt! Men sedan är jag ju så fruktansvärt stark att jag inte räknar på grammen 😁 Rogen funkar också bra för två. Eller om det är skitväder och hundarna är för blöta/skitiga så kan dom få en absid och det finns en absid att laga mat i!
I have a Hilleberg soulo and a Keron 3gt. I find that with those two tents I can do anything. The soulo is for backpacking trips and solo camps. And the Keron is for when I want more space or go with friends
You have 2 really good tents!!! You can survive a zombie attack in this two superstrong tents. On the down side... they are little bit to heavy...but...you will survive! /Matti
Thank you for this detailed review. Usually I prefer selfstanding tents. It would be difficult to pitch it up via my mountain hike above the forest line next summer 2022. However your very honest review gave me a better understanding about some features of using this tent. Will see. Probably I would consider to purchase it, because 1.2 kg total weight and Hilleberg's quality are good arguments for that. Unfortunately right now there any Enan in sport shops in Russia right now, I didn't find it. Good luck to you!
Hilleberg is more or less sold out at their own webb shop also... In Scandinavia we usually find at least some spots with possibility to use not self-starting tents also above tree line. But of course... some areas are only rocks. /Matti
The tent pegs are very stable and durable and they can deal with stones or hammers if needed. And yes, the Enan gets sold like hotcakes. Huge advantages and minor disadvantages for 1.2kg. I had the Akto and the Enan at home and finally took the Enan. That was a good decision.
Thank you for this review. I was going to join other hikers and was looking for a solo tent that was durable. They made so many models and it’s hard to choose which one.
I agree... It's so many different models and you always get the feeling that something else is better. The most important thing is to go out. If you have experience you will handle most of the situations with all this different models. 😃 /Matti
Good review matti. I had the Enan. And i was stupid that i sold it. I was blind off the Weight off otter tents. But Weight is not the most important. The Enan have a food Weight for the space what You get.
Probably you will find some Enan at the second hand market soon when all this corona-outdooor-people continues with their Thailand holidays again. 😉 /Matti
I have never seen anyone doing a review of the Enan mention the two guy out tabs that exist on the tent at both ends. I've to them rigged up with a loop of elastic cord and some zing it line and sometimes stake the mid sections out. It helps a bit with the tent sagging due to water absorption.
I've done a ton of research on Hilleberg and tents generally over the last several months, and have been planning on upgrading my tent for back/bikepacking, but this review really helped me make up my mind and I finally ordered myself an Enan in green, super excited to ditch my tried and true(but heavy) 4lb+ kelty solo tent I've used for over 5 years. Seems the Enan will be great for pretty much all but the worst winter conditions.
Hi Zack! Happy to hear this review helped you in your decision. Enan is a great tent but in Sweden it's not a tent for the winter. At least not up here in the north ;-) . /Stina
@@zackmoss8639 Thanks so much Zack, this is music to my ears. I’ll follow you on Instagram, my name is exactly the same as it is here. Thanks again brother.
I, too, have the dark green Enan. By now, you've probably been out several times with your Enan. Which State or Country are you from? Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
The wrong tent, Matti; good one! We're all human & make mistakes. At least we can all giggle & move on. And today we saw you driving a car instead of a dog team & sled or snowmobile. The 1.2kg total weight of the Enan, means nothing to me; 2.6# now has meaning for MEeee. Add in the weight of the footprint & it comes to 3#. Yes, I know America is out of step with the rest of the world in terms of knowing & understanding metrics. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Yes...it's little bit strange with the difference between metric and non-metric. 😀 Any way... do you really need the footprint? Is it to protect the floor or to avoide humidity from the ground? /Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA To protect the ground side of the floor & the cord between the two ends of the pole when in the sleeve + it provides a layer of cover over the dusty or possibly wet ground in the vestibule. Here in Nevada, the ground is most likely to be hard & rocky or if wet muddy. I'm envious that you so often have a grassy area that covers the ground. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Hej Matti, thanks for the fabulous review! I'm looking for a durable lightweight tent that will be used on biking tours. I'm 193cm tall and therefore unsure if the Enan will give me enough space when I'm sitting in the inner tent. Anyway, I might try it out. Thanks even for leaving the first minutes in the video that shows you starting with the wrong tent in your hands - really funny! 😀
Ive seen a few Aktos and Enans where the door isn't rolled up as good as it could be. I find it's best if it's rolled up from the very base of the 'corner'to keep ir all neat and tidy without any loose, hanging or flapping material. It looks a bit untidy here! Im fussy though.
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA No, I actually like to blend in into nature, colourwise. I know it is nice for photos and film if the tent is red, but still I prefer less intense colours!
Thanks Matti for a nice review. I'm planning a 10 day solo trip along the Padjelanta trail in second half of August 2023. Which tent would you choose? Enan, Akto or another tent altogether?
Tack för en bra recension! Jag upplever samma typ av problem som du då det gäller sidovinden. Jag har också funderat på att sy fast en extra ögla på långsidorna. Har du gjort det ännu? Det vore intressant att se hur du åstadkommit det i sådana fall.
Thank you for this review. I’m looking for a lighter weight alternative to my TN Ultra Quasar (3.6kg) with a side opening door and large vestibule to store my folded Brompton bicycle (I know it fits from watching Susanna Thornton YT, she has an Akto) or alternatively a 2-person tent so I could have it inside next to me, to go cycle touring in the UK with my Brompton bicycle. I’d read an option to create a temporary vent using a plastic clothes peg from the Weston.front Wordpress blog, simply open the fly from the top down to the desired level and attach the clothes peg over the zip and the back of the peg will hold the fly open.
Tack för en grym recension som inte bara handlar om mått och specifikationer (som man ändå kan läsa på tillverkarens hemsida), utan om egna reflektioner och erfarenheter. Hur skulle du beskriva skillnaden mellan enan och akto för en lång person - jag är 190 cm?
Akto's innertält (220cm) är 5 cm längre än Enan's (215cm). Men, sen är Enan 5 cm högre i fot och huvudända jämfört med Akto. Svårt att säga vilken som är bäst då vi båda "bara" är strax över 170cm långa. ;-) /Stina
Nice honest review in your normal very very bad English. :-) ... And indeed I do agree: you can feel yourself in a prison in faul weather, not being able to see the outside. So not for me at all. If the wind will not be to terrible I do prefer far more the Hilleberg Annaris for the super nice cosy atmosphere. But the Annaris is not really comparable. The Akto I do consider to be to heavy and to small for it's weight. Anjan's and Nallo's are far better I think. Greetings again. No going greet you more. No just kidding, I like your English too! And it's understandable. :-) Onno Nugteren the Netherlands. and I did forget: I do like the beginning of this film: great unexpected beginning. 🙂
...probably there was a ex Viking in Scotland that invented that kind of tent... 😉 I didn't know that this come from Scotland. Probably there is the same kind of wet weather situations there as we have in Scandinavia. /Matti
....and the Akto/Enan designs actually derived from English Saunders tents. Hilleberg they are premium price yes, but they are an investment. The Enan maybe not be the lightest out there, but it is utterly reliable and SO easy to pitch and live with
I vacillated between the Akto & Enan for a good 18 months. Finally decided on the Enan & in retrospect, I made the right decision, for lil ole MEeee. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada. U.S.A.
Hey, thanks for the review. I can see on their website its 60cm wide inside, is it really that narrow? Im having 65cm wide mat, so do you think I wont fit there? Thanks
I think it will fit... But to be sure. Send an email straight to Hilleberg. They will answer and they will know OR go to Facebook. There is a group 'Hilleberg owners'. There is some real experts in that group. Amazing how much some people have tested out!!! / Matti
Tack för en mycket bra och informationsrick videon! Jag har också Enan, det är bra, men jag har tyvärr inte vandrat så mycket med den, tittade på din video för att det är kul och inspirerande, tack 👍 Funderar på att byta det mot en Soulo eller Unna pga vinst i storleken och "freeständigheten" som ger möjlighet att vandra med en liten barn och på vintern. I generellt jag förstår the pros and cons. Men en (eller flera) detaljer du kanske skulle kunna kommentera. Framförallt är det stor förlust i absiden på en Soulo? Kan man laga mat i den och räcker det för ryggsäcken? Är bytte värt vikten? Tack 👍
Thank you for a very good review. Im planning on buying a Enan to sleep in togheter with my dog on trails here in Sweden. She is a Wachtel 17 kg. Two questions. Do you have the dog in the inner tent and where does the dog sleep, by your side or feet?
Depending on your own size this tent will be really tight with a dog inside. We always have our dogs in the inner tent because of the mosquitos 🦟. /Stina
The tent arrived and I tried having the dog by my side and also by my feet when laying down. It will work. Then the other bigger dog joined. That could also work but is a lot tighter and will only work if absolutely necessary.
Tjenare bra recemsion som vanligt :) jag har en fundering om du kan hjälpa mig få lite klarhet. Har en Allak 2 som jag skulle vilja kompletera med ett lättare tält för 3 säsong i tanken. Är kluven om jag ska välja enan,akto eller anjan. Vill ha en som passar bra till ett liggunderlag som är ca 64cm men fortfarande lätt och rymligt. Vad tycker du? :)
Sorry... I don't remember... We buy music from Epidemicsound.com. They are working with small and unknown but really good creators. Check their website. /Matti
Thank you for your detailed review. I was thinking of getting an Enan for quite a long time now. I do and plan a lot of long solo fjell hikes with my dog (shoulder height around 47 cm, weightt around 13,5 kg) and im looking for a tent that is lightweight but also solid so i can use it on padjelantaleden, nordkalottleden, hardangervidda and so on. Your expierence about using the tent with a medium sized dog really helped me. If I get you right you sleep with the dog inside the inner tent, right? So the dog sleeps in the small triangle on the opposite of the vestibule. Because thats what i was thinking what should work with my dog. I mean, i could also let her sleep in the vestibule but i would prefer her to sleep next to me in the inner tent. She is used to sleep in tents and usually does not move during the night. I know that this tent could probably meet my needs eventho i won't have like a huge amount of space. Do you think the Enan works for my plans, especially sharing the space with my dog and the though fjell weather conditions? Would be really grateful for your opinion. :-)
Hej Mellon! The Enan tent is to small if you want to have a dog of that size inside. Could work if you are a very small and short person and could have the dog by your feet. I am 170 cm and are thin but I wouldn't have a dog inside, if it weren't a chihuahua or a really tiny dog 😉. /Stina
Hej Matti, hoppas detta meddelande finner dig väl! Jag har kollat runt på tält nu ett bra tag och undrar därmed vilket tält du finner bäst, två personer, alla säsonger, MEN 95% av tältande kommer ske på vandringar sommartid?
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA yes box, men eftersom jag är 1.93lång blir det kanske problem med den lutande insidan. Kaitum 3 verkar vara det bästa alternativet med mesh innertält för sommaren om man vill ha platsen likaså lättare i vikt än Keron 3, va tycks?
hey, thank you for the good video! Question: what is it with the 3 seasons? You mentioned snow storm once... what about that, for example in late autumn?
...we sometimes get snow during the summer in the Swedish mountains... 😞 ...and we sometimes get really rough weather in late September when we do wildlife safaris in Sarek National Park. Have you seen that video? /Matti
Do you have any advice for managing or minimising condensation in the Enan? Have ordered one and have seen that Hilleberg advises using a goretex jacket or similar over the top of the feet end of your sleeping bag.
My Western Mountaineering Antelope (5º) Sleeping bag has a gore-tex outer fabric which is damp when I wake up in the morning when inside my Enan. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada. U.S.A. The inside of my sleeping bag & my feet are dry & comfy warm. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada. U.S.A.
Hmmm.....I have an older MSR Hubba Hubba NX (with the better poles, but the elastic has stretched quite a bit) that works very well when I want more space (I also have the gear shed for it too), but it's around 4 1/2 lbs with the footprint and wanted something a bit lighter for solo excursions. I was looking at the Big Agnes Copper UL 1 person tent, but I think I like this Enan better.
Enan is more boombproof material (than Copper Spur) and you will probably not need footprint. Copper Spur is still a nice tent that's really gives a lots of space. Really cosy inside but much more sensetive... /Matti
Have an Enan and your review is spot on! Great review and Hilleberg products are all very good.
After watching your video, I have decided to pull the trigger. Thanks for sharing your insights
I've had my Enan for six or seven years now, and think that I have the lighter weight version that they manufactured at first. I value all the little details that show that the product was designed by someone who actually uses the product and have the mesh inner and the footprint for it. The footprint I got not for extra puncture resistance but for how much less condensation I get on wet ground and for the ability to skip the interior being put up sometimes, though I rarely do. The only negative in my case is the fiberglass pole. It is pretty easy to take out, but then I'm the sort of person who would quickly lose it. I do a lot of bicycle and motorcycle camping and that pole makes it more challenging to pack away in my hard bags and panniers. But what a great tent it is. It is far stronger than any of my Big Agnes or tarp tents are/were and the same goes for any other lightweight tent. One has to use it to really understand the good points of these tents. And support is second to none. The only other tent I'd buy in the future (and I buy a lot of tents) is the excellent Durston product line.
HUGE TRICK - #1 TIP
If you want to easily gain access to either of the flaps that cover/uncover the ventilation ends, simply disconnect 2 toggles that connect the inner to the outer ROOF, then easily reach over to open/close the flap, easy peasy.
No one not even Hilleberg mentions/shows this TRICK
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Du är rolig Matti. Tack for this review and your humor. Greatly appreciated! Really looking forward to meeting you and Stina in August.
Thanks!
Welcome to the north!
/ Matti
The main reasons why I bought the enan:
1. Fast to pitch (single pole)
2. inner tent stays dry when pitching during rain
3. Enough space for one person
4. High quality, lasting for a lifetime
I was first a really worried about condensation issues, as I have read some horror reviews about it, but I always found myself dry the next morning. The outer tent seems to always getting quite wet on the inside though, but the inner tent on the inside was always completely dry. I'm always using the official footprint.
I love the tent 😊
I hiked the Continental Divide Trail with it. That trail is pretty dry and condensation wasn't often an issue. But when there was condensation, I had it in the inner tent, too. Not that I had condensation when the other people didn't have some and condensation was never a deal breaker (except once, my bad). But condensation is an issue you have to adress somehow, at least regarding to my experience.
Really clear and useful review thank you. I have an Enan and I agree with you. I find the lack of a top vent limiting because in rain you can’t keep it open. And in big winds I have found it windy inside because the end flaps don’t seal the tent, and the wind then blows into the bed area through the mosquito net door. But it’s great for better weather, and will survive bad weather. I use the four additional guy points at the corners to make a taut pitch. And I use Red Label V pegs as I don’t find the micro Y pegs supplied very nice or long enough. But a great light weight strong tent overall.
Thanks.
I will add the exta guyline to much tents also.
/Matti
I, too, add 2 supplementary guyline attached to the end of the tent facing into the wind. + I always add big rocks atop the stakes to keep 'em from pulling out of the ground when its strong gusty windy all night.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada. U.S.A.
I love my Enan! Great video! I have watched it several times!
I have the kerlon 600 version which i bought in 2016. Been using it mostly in the Alps and in Sweden. It can handle high winds very well eventhough this is probably the weakest tent Hilleberg has ever made. I also make use of the extra tie out points on each end, and always pitch perfect. Because i have been in an unexpected storm a couple of times, in the mountains in the middel of the night, i basically make sure the tent is always nailed to the ground. The biggest problem i have with this tent is that it doesn't have enough headroom for someone who is 187cm tall. When there is condensation you need some serious yoga moves not getting wet. Would be nice if it had a couple of extra centimeters. Otherwise perfect tent. Love the layout.
There is little bit strange that the tent producers don't make different sizes to different people. Why not Enan regular and Enan XL? That's how they make it with sleeping bags, backpacks etc.
/Matti
The Enan I bought has Kerlon 1000 outer fabric & the floor is the same 70D material as used in the Akto floor. Your tent has a lighter/thinner 50D floor material. I'm 5'3" (160cm) tall, so I have plenty of room inside most any tent ever made.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Your reviews and videos are great. I watch them all and take your advice on equipment all the time.
Thank you Paul! Makes us really happy to hear that. /Stina & Matti
Thanks for this review of a newer Hilleberg solo tent. The triangular ends are copied from the Tarptent MOMENT DW, an improvement on the AKTO design.
The TT MOMENT DW has 2 doors and 2 vestibules. MUCH appreciated for several reasons. I ran my optional Crossing Pole UNDER the fly, securing it with a double-sided Velcro wrap (shortened electronic cable wrap0 sewn inside the fly at the exterior Xing Pole strap reinforcements. You need to shorten the Xing Pole 5" to do this but you get much more fly support this way.
I had not heard of this before, it looks good! And free standing with one optional extra pole.
I have the Akto, a fine tent that was very comfortable during solotrips, for example in february a tour in Scotland, snow, rain, strong winds. Very comfortable and feeling safe at all times. I am planning to do a solo trip with this tent together with my border collie australian shepherd mix, about 22 kilo's. It will be interesting to see if we fit in the tent together 😅
Excellent review, as always, Matti. The angle of the peg placement had never even occurred to me until watching this video. I've never actually used the standard supplied pegs. All of my camps using the Enan, so far, have been on on peat moorland. You need different pegs for this type of terrain. The first two of three inches are loose mossy soil and therefore I use either delta, or 10" tornado shaped pegs. Absolutely essential for my pitches.
Thanks!
We also use different pegs. Normal pegs, nail for frozen ground or ice and the big snow pegs. Interesting with this different solutions we need in different places.
😀
/Matti
I normally add big heavy rocks atop the pegs instead of longer pegs. Here in Nevada, I can always find big heavy rocks. Plus I always stake out two supplementary guy lines attached to the end of the tent facing into the wind.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Tjena Matti! Bra recension på tältet.
Jag har den röda 😁✌️
Jag använder även längre stormlinor och footprint.
Det hjälper mig att hålla borta kondens från marken.
Tack!
Ja… rött är snyggt dessutom. :-)

Nice video, 👍

👋🏻 Tack för en bra recension av Enan. Jag har Unna men jag är lite sugen på Enan då det väger ett kilo
lättare. Unna väger
2.2 kg.
Det är två helt olika tält. Det ena kan du köra över med stridsvagn och det andra är väldigt lätt men ändå slitstarkt!

Thank you for this awesome and thorough review. Subscribed to your channel solely because of this video you've made. I really enjoyed this and found it very informative. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I just purchased the Enan and it should arrive sometime in April. I look forward to using it on bikepacking and solo canoe trips in Ontario, Canada.
Thank you Jamie! /Stina & Matti
Have you enjoyed some overnighting in your Enan?
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada. U.S.A.
I have a dark green Enan that I bought in March 2020. Two months earlier Hilleberg changed the floor fabric to the same stronger material used in the floor of Akto's. You're right, at this time Hilleberg has an approximate 9-12 months wait B4 your backorder will be made. Your right about the difficulty of fastening or unfastening the vent materials which would become even more difficult at night or during a storm.
I keep the footprint attached to my tent because I like a floor covering the ground in the vestibule area.
Pitching this tent, fly, & footprint simultaneously is THE way all tents should be engineered/designed/manufactured.
Although Hilleberg considers this a 3-season tent, I know it is stronger than some so-called 4-season tents made by other manufacturers. Having the fly come all the way to the ground is what I wanted. I didn't want a so-called 3-season tent where the fly leaves a 3"-4" space between the fly bottom & the ground.
My Enan has reliably provided me with shelter from ferociously strong gusty winds, all night that I staked out with big heavy rocks on top of the stakes & had no concerns that my tent material would be torn, or that poles would break, or that my tent stakes would be pulled out of the ground.
I've said this B4 & I say it again; the Enan is a stronger 3-season tent than the majority of other brands of so-called 4-season tents.
11 minutes into this video & I noticed a red Akto in the background.
You made no mention of the 2 supplementary tent attachments at both ends of this tent which are designed to be tieout points for 2 additional guyout lines - at both ends of this tent. Those additional guylines helped to hold my tent like a rock in strong gusty winds.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Thanks!
I will try to add this two extra guylines that you mentioned.
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA I add the 2 extra guylines to the end facing into the wind.
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Here is a lil tip on the technique of releasing the guyline tension. Straighten the fingers of your gloved hand, now insert your flat hand just above the tensioner & between the two lines. Now simply turn your hand 90º. That will release the tension, easy peasy!.
I had an Akto and got depressed by the coffin feeling and the terrible yellow inner tent.
I had many other brands and sizes with my wife. Next season I want to bike and camp in my neighborhood for a week. I look at the Enan but also the Fjallraven Abisko lite. Actually this is the improved version of the Akto. It has some features I want on the Akto and Enan. To be honest as a Dutch money saver I like the price of the Abisko better.
Tack för tipset att vända ingången mot vinden.👍
Det gör skillnad.
Sedan ska man fästa extralinor i öglorna på kortsidan för att stabilisera upp tältet lite mer vid vind. /Matti
Love the simplicity of the design
I have the dark green Enan. Never again will struggle with trying to attach a fly to the inner during a strong gusty windy situation.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada. U.S.A.
Thank goodness!!! Someone else saying NO FOOTPRINT!!! Brilliant thanks.
I agree re no need for a footprint. I use my emergency survival bag as a footprint with my other tents... I'm carrying it so I might as well get a double use out of it.
Do you carry an extra survival bag when you have a tent? I have never done that. Interesting with all different ideas and of course... a dedicated footprint is quite useless if you compare with an survival bag!
😀
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Hi.. Yes I carry a survival bag, for high visibimty if I" m ever in a rescue situation. I"d slash the foot and side and spread it out.. I also carry a bivibag as I enjoy bivying so that is really my 'survival bag.'
Good idea.... hadn't thought of that.
Another intelligent review. Another tent that could really use some rain protected ventilation ports up high as well in the ends. That is the reason I did not add it to my shelter inventory.
Thanks!
Yes...this tent with some extra ventilation...without adding extra weight hade made this tent suuuuuper!
😀
/Matti
Great video, friend. I like your perspective on the Enan.
Thanks!!!
😀
It's always good to mix different perspectives from different persons.
/Matti
Good reviews! As you already mixed up the Anjan and the Enan: I would highly apreciate an Anjan 2 review from a professionell guide.
Thanks!
I will make a review of Anjan next summer. I had to use this little bit more before I can really say anything real about that tent. I already think lots of things but I have to stay open minded and use it in different conditions and situations.
I'm also looking forward to know more about this tent.
Is there any more type of equipment you want to see reviews of or How to videos?
Thanks for feedback. It's really valuable for us to get this kind of hints about what you guys want to know more about.
/Matti
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNAthanks for your fast answer. We consider the Anjan as an lighter alternative to our Nallo. We use it mainly for high mountain trekking at Korsika. From late spring to late autum. You do lots of altimeters there. So lightweigt gear is essential. Condinditians can also be quite rough. But if the Anjan fits the needs of an professional tour operator in northern scandinavia, it will be enough for us too😉.
It would be interessting to see what kind of sleeping bags or systems you use on your tours. And why.
Extremely helpful review. I’ve ordered an Enan and Tarp5. I couldn’t get one in Scotland as there’s no stock so I had to order from France.
Thanks for this very helpful review, I’ve watched it three or four times. 👍🏼

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Very useful, thanks guys.
thanks for this review! really helpful and thinking of picking this tent up for Gröna bandet!

Love your videos. I have the Akto and enjoy that review also. I'm near the eastern Sierra in US. Thanks!
Thank you! /Stina
Great review when you really are sharing experience of the product.
I'm planning on getting one, and your video was really helpfull:)
I bought one and am a little disappointed. I found the sagging of the outer tent after moisture touched the inner tent and it was just a condensation vortex. I also found the angled ends to be somewhat confining (and I am only 5’8” (not sure about centimeters). My sleeping bag touched the inner tent and got wet on a completely dry night (although it was cold out). Maybe i need to sleep with the door open but it was at or slightly less than 0 centigrade and was pretty cold to leave the door completely open. Bringing a warmer sleeping bag would add even more weight. I am investigating the akto or the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 (slightly heavier, but might address these issues due to architectural differences).
Thank you very much for such an informative video. This seems the tent for me!
Happy our review could help you! /Stina & Matti
Did you eventually buy an Enan?
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada. U.S.A.
Såg ju ganska långt ut ändå! Tur du fick tag på rätt tält tillslut😂 du e grym på recensioner Matti! Fortsätt med det👍
Ja...det är inte ett kort tält. Sedan så är det lite konstigt att de flesta tält görs för små personer som mig. Vet inget märke som har olika storlekar av samma tält. Ex Enan regular och Enan XL... 😀 så gör man ju med sovsäckar.
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA de va ju en riktig bra idé faktiskt! Ja håller med, konstigt att dom inte gör så!?
Thanks I am thinking about getting one of these and learned a few things.
I really love your personality. It is so awesome. I love it so much. I have the Akto and really thinking the Enan would be a better Jennifer, the Baja Mexico divide from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, and hold up the wind
I like your reviews very much!!! 👍🏻
En av mina kompisar som försökte sig på Enan tyckte att det var svårt att få stramt. Jag säger som Stina: dom är för små med hund För några år sedan investerade jag i Rogen, det tycker jag är ett utmärkt lättviktsval med hund!
Borde inte Niak vara ett bra och lätt tält om man ska vara ute med hund? Jag har sneglat lite på det faktiskt.
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA jo, det är ju lite lättare, men orsaken till att jag valde Rogen var två absider. Suveränt när det är varmt! Men sedan är jag ju så fruktansvärt stark att jag inte räknar på grammen 😁 Rogen funkar också bra för två. Eller om det är skitväder och hundarna är för blöta/skitiga så kan dom få en absid och det finns en absid att laga mat i!
...själv så måste farbror räkna på grammen!
/Matti
Love your videos 👍🏼
I'm new to expedition camping. Thx for sharing your knowledge
On my shopping list! Thanks for the review!
You will not be disappointed!!!
/Matti
Great tip. The sleeping bag is for warmth the tent is only for shelter not warmth 😊
I have a Hilleberg soulo and a Keron 3gt. I find that with those two tents I can do anything. The soulo is for backpacking trips and solo camps. And the Keron is for when I want more space or go with friends
You have 2 really good tents!!!
You can survive a zombie attack in this two superstrong tents. On the down side... they are little bit to heavy...but...you will survive!
/Matti
I’ve got a soulo rl and a akto but I’ve liked and subbed because I’m so interested in watching your sleds camping 👍🏻🏴
Thank you for this detailed review. Usually I prefer selfstanding tents. It would be difficult to pitch it up via my mountain hike above the forest line next summer 2022. However your very honest review gave me a better understanding about some features of using this tent. Will see. Probably I would consider to purchase it, because 1.2 kg total weight and Hilleberg's quality are good arguments for that. Unfortunately right now there any Enan in sport shops in Russia right now, I didn't find it. Good luck to you!
Hilleberg is more or less sold out at their own webb shop also...
In Scandinavia we usually find at least some spots with possibility to use not self-starting tents also above tree line. But of course... some areas are only rocks.
/Matti
The tent pegs are very stable and durable and they can deal with stones or hammers if needed. And yes, the Enan gets sold like hotcakes. Huge advantages and minor disadvantages for 1.2kg. I had the Akto and the Enan at home and finally took the Enan. That was a good decision.
Best review , as always. much appreciated. Keep them coming. I trek with a UL tent that needs a footprint, so it's not really UL anymore.
Thanks!
That's a problem with some of the UL tents. They are UL when they are not complete but if you want to use them they är not UL anymore.
/Matti
Thank you for this review. I was going to join other hikers and was looking for a solo tent that was durable. They made so many models and it’s hard to choose which one.
I agree... It's so many different models and you always get the feeling that something else is better.
The most important thing is to go out. If you have experience you will handle most of the situations with all this different models.
😃
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA thank you.
Good review matti. I had the Enan. And i was stupid that i sold it. I was blind off the Weight off otter tents. But Weight is not the most important. The Enan have a food Weight for the space what You get.
Probably you will find some Enan at the second hand market soon when all this corona-outdooor-people continues with their Thailand holidays again. 😉
/Matti
What a very comprehensive review
Thank you for showing your appreciation 🙏. /Stina & Matti
Love your dog!
Annie, she is one of our two bordercollies then we also have 49 huskies. 😉
I have never seen anyone doing a review of the Enan mention the two guy out tabs that exist on the tent at both ends. I've to them rigged up with a loop of elastic cord and some zing it line and sometimes stake the mid sections out. It helps a bit with the tent sagging due to water absorption.
Tack för en bra video! Det får nog bli detta tält! 😄👍
I've done a ton of research on Hilleberg and tents generally over the last several months, and have been planning on upgrading my tent for back/bikepacking, but this review really helped me make up my mind and I finally ordered myself an Enan in green, super excited to ditch my tried and true(but heavy) 4lb+ kelty solo tent I've used for over 5 years. Seems the Enan will be great for pretty much all but the worst winter conditions.
Hi Zack! Happy to hear this review helped you in your decision. Enan is a great tent but in Sweden it's not a tent for the winter. At least not up here in the north ;-) . /Stina
How’re you getting on with the new Enan, Zack? I’m expecting mine tomorrow, can’t wait.
@@zackmoss8639 Thanks so much Zack, this is music to my ears. I’ll follow you on Instagram, my name is exactly the same as it is here. Thanks again brother.
@@zackmoss8639 Added you on Instagram mate, great to see the Enan in action. 👍🏼
I, too, have the dark green Enan.
By now, you've probably been out several times with your Enan.
Which State or Country are you from?
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
The wrong tent, Matti; good one! We're all human & make mistakes. At least we can all giggle & move on. And today we saw you driving a car instead of a dog team & sled or snowmobile.
The 1.2kg total weight of the Enan, means nothing to me; 2.6# now has meaning for MEeee. Add in the weight of the footprint & it comes to 3#. Yes, I know America is out of step with the rest of the world in terms of knowing & understanding metrics.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Yes...it's little bit strange with the difference between metric and non-metric. 😀
Any way... do you really need the footprint? Is it to protect the floor or to avoide humidity from the ground?
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA To protect the ground side of the floor & the cord between the two ends of the pole when in the sleeve + it provides a layer of cover over the dusty or possibly wet ground in the vestibule. Here in Nevada, the ground is most likely to be hard & rocky or if wet muddy.
I'm envious that you so often have a grassy area that covers the ground.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Hej Matti, thanks for the fabulous review! I'm looking for a durable lightweight tent that will be used on biking tours. I'm 193cm tall and therefore unsure if the Enan will give me enough space when I'm sitting in the inner tent. Anyway, I might try it out. Thanks even for leaving the first minutes in the video that shows you starting with the wrong tent in your hands - really funny! 😀
Ive seen a few Aktos and Enans where the door isn't rolled up as good as it could be. I find it's best if it's rolled up from the very base of the 'corner'to keep ir all neat and tidy without any loose, hanging or flapping material. It looks a bit untidy here! Im fussy though.
You convinced me to get an Enan, got a great second-hand deal. If you need my Copper Spur UL1 as a second one let me know 😜!
great review !

Thank you for this review. I’m looking for a lighter weight alternative to my TN Ultra Quasar (3.6kg) with a side opening door and large vestibule to store my folded Brompton bicycle (I know it fits from watching Susanna Thornton YT, she has an Akto) or alternatively a 2-person tent so I could have it inside next to me, to go cycle touring in the UK with my Brompton bicycle.
I’d read an option to create a temporary vent using a plastic clothes peg from the Weston.front Wordpress blog, simply open the fly from the top down to the desired level and attach the clothes peg over the zip and the back of the peg will hold the fly open.
That way of creating an ventil is how we made ventilation in our pants when I was doing military service.
🤣
/Matti
Tack för en grym recension som inte bara handlar om mått och specifikationer (som man ändå kan läsa på tillverkarens hemsida), utan om egna reflektioner och erfarenheter. Hur skulle du beskriva skillnaden mellan enan och akto för en lång person - jag är 190 cm?
Akto's innertält (220cm) är 5 cm längre än Enan's (215cm). Men, sen är Enan 5 cm högre i fot och huvudända jämfört med Akto. Svårt att säga vilken som är bäst då vi båda "bara" är strax över 170cm långa. ;-) /Stina

Thank you!
Nice honest review in your normal very very bad English. :-) ... And indeed I do agree: you can feel yourself in a prison in faul weather, not being able to see the outside. So not for me at all. If the wind will not be to terrible I do prefer far more the Hilleberg Annaris for the super nice cosy atmosphere. But the Annaris is not really comparable. The Akto I do consider to be to heavy and to small for it's weight. Anjan's and Nallo's are far better I think. Greetings again. No going greet you more. No just kidding, I like your English too! And it's understandable. :-) Onno Nugteren the Netherlands. and I did forget: I do like the beginning of this film: great unexpected beginning. 🙂
Actually the "Scandinavian style" of integrated pitching of the inner and outer tents was copied from the Vango Force 10 Scottish designed tents.
...probably there was a ex Viking in Scotland that invented that kind of tent... 😉
I didn't know that this come from Scotland. Probably there is the same kind of wet weather situations there as we have in Scandinavia.
/Matti
....and the Akto/Enan designs actually derived from English Saunders tents. Hilleberg they are premium price yes, but they are an investment. The Enan maybe not be the lightest out there, but it is utterly reliable and SO easy to pitch and live with
@@domo3552 Well put. My sentiments. Yes, I have the dark green Enan.

Great review, thank you. Comparing it against Akto which one would you choose if you could only have one solo tent? Cheers
This one. Trough the triangle in the footarea there is no hanging like in the squareish footarea in the akto. Also marcant less weight.
I will soon make one video where I compare Akto/Enan/Soulo. You are so many people who ask about that!

Tack för en mycket bra och informationsrick videon!
Jag har också Enan, det är bra, men jag har tyvärr inte vandrat så mycket med den, tittade på din video för att det är kul och inspirerande, tack 👍
Funderar på att byta det mot en Soulo eller Unna pga vinst i storleken och "freeständigheten" som ger möjlighet att vandra med en liten barn och på vintern.
I generellt jag förstår the pros and cons. Men en (eller flera) detaljer du kanske skulle kunna kommentera. Framförallt är det stor förlust i absiden på en Soulo? Kan man laga mat i den och räcker det för ryggsäcken?
Är bytte värt vikten?
Tack 👍
Thank you for a very good review. Im planning on buying a Enan to sleep in togheter with my dog on trails here in Sweden. She is a Wachtel 17 kg. Two questions. Do you have the dog in the inner tent and where does the dog sleep, by your side or feet?
Depending on your own size this tent will be really tight with a dog inside. We always have our dogs in the inner tent because of the mosquitos 🦟. /Stina
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Tack. Jag är 175 och hunden 17 kg. Jag har i alla fall beställt ett. Det blir trångt och mysigt.
The tent arrived and I tried having the dog by my side and also by my feet when laying down. It will work. Then the other bigger dog joined. That could also work but is a lot tighter and will only work if absolutely necessary.
Tjenare bra recemsion som vanligt :) jag har en fundering om du kan hjälpa mig få lite klarhet. Har en Allak 2 som jag skulle vilja kompletera med ett lättare tält för 3 säsong i tanken.

Thank you for your detailed review. I was thinking of getting an Enan for quite a long time now. I do and plan a lot of long solo fjell hikes with my dog (shoulder height around 47 cm, weightt around 13,5 kg) and im looking for a tent that is lightweight but also solid so i can use it on padjelantaleden, nordkalottleden, hardangervidda and so on. Your expierence about using the tent with a medium sized dog really helped me. If I get you right you sleep with the dog inside the inner tent, right? So the dog sleeps in the small triangle on the opposite of the vestibule. Because thats what i was thinking what should work with my dog. I mean, i could also let her sleep in the vestibule but i would prefer her to sleep next to me in the inner tent. She is used to sleep in tents and usually does not move during the night. I know that this tent could probably meet my needs eventho i won't have like a huge amount of space. Do you think the Enan works for my plans, especially sharing the space with my dog and the though fjell weather conditions? Would be really grateful for your opinion. :-)
Hej Mellon! The Enan tent is to small if you want to have a dog of that size inside. Could work if you are a very small and short person and could have the dog by your feet. I am 170 cm and are thin but I wouldn't have a dog inside, if it weren't a chihuahua or a really tiny dog 😉. /Stina
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA so i got it wrong and the dog sleeps in the vestibule? thanks for your detailed answer :-)

Hmmm.....I have an older MSR Hubba Hubba NX (with the better poles, but the elastic has stretched quite a bit) that works very well when I want more space (I also have the gear shed for it too), but it's around 4 1/2 lbs with the footprint and wanted something a bit lighter for solo excursions. I was looking at the Big Agnes Copper UL 1 person tent, but I think I like this Enan better.
Enan is more boombproof material (than Copper Spur) and you will probably not need footprint.
Copper Spur is still a nice tent that's really gives a lots of space. Really cosy inside but much more sensetive... /Matti
That’s what I thought. That is one big Enan. 😂

Ser lagom stort ut för en malamute!
Hahaaaa... Malamuter vill väl ha en större absid där de kan hänga då det är dåligt väder.

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA tänker att det är lagom om de vill ha ett eget tält!
I've never used a pocket 😂
Fabulous review. Thank you!
