Great review of a great tent thanks

 

[Harvestman]

This tent has long been an aspirational item for me. I have yet to see a bad review of it.

 

[ReamviThantos]

i've had this tent for about two years now and have found it to be a great piece of kit.

I used to have one of these, it was great but ended up selling and getting the 2 man nallo so my missus could trek with me.

I have always thought about getting another as we have a kid now and there is not so much need for the 2 man nallo as we don't really get to trek together so much .

Ummm this review has got me thinking about them again and now I have just seen they come in coyotee brown ummmm

I have been eyeballing one of these for the better part of 6 years now... would love one but could never get past the price.

No dispute about the value, I know they are very good... but for a one person tent based on a design that's been around for a while, £45 is a bit steep.

For £45 I'd buy one in seconds

Over £400 is a lot of coin, but they are a serious tent. A good alternative http://www.tarptent.com/scarp1.html at half the price.

Good quality but over the odds price wise for what is a heavy tent. Lighter 1 person or even 2 person tents can be had for much less - Vaude power lizard,.Nordisk Telemark 1 or 2.

Hilleberg have fallen behind the opposition in terms of cost and weight.

I'd buy two but unfortunately few shops honour my typos so we're both out of luck

I love my akto best solo tent on the market if you ask me. I know they cost alot but they are made to last a life time. so my advise would be to go and treat yourself you wont regret it

I've had my Nallo 2 for over 15 years now and it' still going strong. Hilleberg may be on the expensive side but they're a lifetime investment.

I've also seen favourable reviews for the Tarptent Scarp 1. I think blogpackinglight recommends it as the solo tent of choice.
