at www.Hilleberg.se Summary: Pros: Lightweight, easy to pitch, small footprint, freestanding and 4-season (also high altitude). Cons: Unna has limited ventilation in snowy conditions.
I normally pitch Unna in about 2 minutes (5 if it's windy). This is the time it takes to guy the tent down completely. Add 10-15 minutes in snow because you want to use the shovel some. Fitted with 9,5 mm poles, it behaves well even with strong lateral winds. Should the need occur, extra guylines can easily be fitted.
The double-wall construction makes this tent absolutely waterproof (and bug-proof) while keeping condensation at bay. Iv'e lived for weeks in the Unna in very rainy weather without any gear getting wet from the outside. The space between the inner and outer at the entrance is large enough to accomodate a big pack and snowy/wet gear so there is no need to take all of your equipment inside. Condensation in rainy weather is no real problem either because air can circulate from the ground and out the highly placed ventilation cap. However, in snowy conditions this tent offers very limited ventilation.
All in all, a lightweigt easy to pitch 4 season bombshelter with all the details that you need in place but at the price of comfort.

Customer Service: Very good. They actually go out in the Swedish mountains and test all the gear themselves. They know the best use of their gear and can give very good advice. Similar Products Used: Hilleberg Saivo Hilleberg Nammatj 3 GT Hilleberg Akto Phoenix Phearless
