What's a good and light 1-man tent? Is the Hilleberg ones the cream of the crop?

Which tents are generally /out/ approved?

Wild Country Zephyros 1. Costs a fraction of the Hilleberg but weighs the same. Done me proud so far.

Hilleberg are god-tier, overpriced, will last a decade.

Terra Nova are cheap, but good enough value to consider

But tents are dumb anon. Tarps are the way to go. The only conditions that call for 4 closed walls are alpine/above the tree level.

Tarp isn't really an option up here in scandinavia. It can get quite chilly during night time.

Unless you camp predominantly at a very windy sandy desert with constant abrasive sandblasting, the Hilleberg tent will last several decades

Or constant high wind, or frequent cold temperatures, or constant large quantities of biting insects.

Which encompasses about 90% of 3-season camping and 100% of that 4th season.

(((Hilleberg))) have even increased their prices in recent years. I know Jannu used to cost €750 and now they are €1000. Akto used to be ~€450-500, now €580.

I don't know if it's just in Sweden as I've read how they basically told retailers in the US not to export back to Sweden. There where some Swedes who started to import tents (a few dozen) for themselves and friends, as it was cheaper to buy from the US even with added taxes and shipping.

You use a bug net or a bivy under the tarp to protect yourself against insects. The tarp is only for rain/wind.

Temperature is barely influenced by your shelter. Both the tent and the tarp can block out rain/wind, if pitched correctly. Your sleeping pad, sleeping bag and clothing/insulation determine how warm you'll be.

Constant high wind is a bummer, but also kind of hard to believe. You live in an area with constant hard gusts of wind? 24/7? Every season?

Most people in the first world (a.k.a people on this board) live in very mild climate, with mild precipitation and a mild winter. Sure if it snows bring a closed 4 wall tent, but any other season? Hell just use the bivy alone and cowboy camp all summer.

Get yourslf a cheep 2-person lovenest. I'm a hammocker which is foreveralone af, but when I go on social campings I often share a tent. Save the ultralight/single gear for real excursions, and for campground trips with bitches you can have something else.

Looks a lot like a golite shangrila knock off. I have the shangrila 3 which I use with an ooknest, the custom inner you can see in the pic. It's a palace for one person and quite heavy, but manageable. The main issue I have with using it as a 1 person is that the foot print is so large that it can be tricky to find a spot large enough. It's my short walk-with-friends tent. I stick to the trekkertent stealth when hiking more seriously.

They make the tents in Europe. That "designed in Kentucky, made in China" trick is not their thing.

Hilleberg has been in the business for quite some time. Cost of living and cost of work has gone up over the years, inflation has to be factored in too.

As a result, the prices rise. IMO it is good, since it means they won't compromise on quality just to keep prices down. There is by necessity some form of trade off if the price stays intact.

The worst thing to do is to keep the prices the same, quality goes down and the amount of marketing increases to make-belief that everything is as good as before. Fuck THAT shit. You have to depend on your gear.

Same. I would never carry a tent if I was solo, hammocking is so comfy. I just bought a net tent so I can bring my normie friends outside with me. It seems like a good idea, I live (and camp) in wetlands and swampy areas so tarps just don't cut it you need a mesh bug net with a floor unless you want to be eaten alive. I thought the net tent was a good idea because when it's hot and humid af I can just pitch the tarp I'm using higher up for more ventilation.

I'm going to try it out this weekend, I can't wait.

What're you thinking on using for mosquito repellent? Considering buying a gallon of permathrin concentrate to treat my clothes for the next few years
>>
>>1038733
This is why I am going to wait till later in the season to head to Sweden. Get a face net and accept that your arms and legs are going get bitten. My experience in other parts of the world that get a lot of mosquitoes is that if you're the type of person that gets bitten then there isn't much you can do. Get a face net.
>>
>>1038734
Already have a face net, I want to do it in September but my school starts in September. I'm doing it starting early/mid August so I should finish mid september and get the start of the good weather/fewer mosquitos.
>>
>>1036489
I have one and used it for about 50 nights in the subalpine and coastal regions of the united states pacific north west (a temperate rainforest with gusting winds and not many bugs)

very satisfied. it has always kept me dry, held up to 40 mph winds with no trouble, supports at least a few inches of snow, and is quick to setup and take down.

get the new design with a zipper on both sides.

learn it pitch it high, the bottom should come up from the ground and form a wall about 2" high. otherwise the foot end will be super low and you'll have poor ventilation.

also, consider the tarptent trekker. it wasn't available when I got my skyscape, and I have no experience with it, but it appears to be more roomy for similar weight and bulk.
>>
>>1038733
>>1038734

I usually try to stay above the tree line, way fewer mosquitoes there. Although that's not really feasible if you're hiking on a set specific trail.

Speaking of which. Myself, I'm going to Hokkaido in late august/early september for some hiking. How's the mosquito situation at that time in that part of Japan?

I did the upper part years back with my father and back then we just got some repellent from one of the STF huts, it worked quite well tbqwyf. I heard it's not as bad in August as in July though. Will you be thru-hiking it too? North to South?

Sure, this works, if your sleeping bag is Antarctica-rated AND through some magic the wind blows from the side opposite of the opening all the time.

But, yeah, why not? Not hating you anon. One can dig into the snow, too, so why not a tarp. It's more adventurous for sure.

August is not the peak mosquito season anymore, it's on its way to ramping down. But you WILL get bitten somewhat - just ignore the flying fucks.

>Bring tarp
>Bring groundsheet
>Bring bugnet
So...a tent? Except it takes about half an hour to set up, isn't entirely sealed off from bugs, and requires you to pick a perfect campsite?
>>
>>1036479
I tried one once. Super roomy, not the lightest but light enough it won't really be an issue. The bent poles really do make for a lot more room. If it's in good shape and $100 or less, definitely go for it (you can get new Tungstens for $140 sometimes so no point paying more than $100 for a used one). Thinking about getting one for when I go camping with grills, I really need to fill the gap between my UL 1 person tent and the massive Coleman 4 person I have from when I was a kid.
>>1038917
Yeah it's good. It's a true 1 person, so if you bring a dog or expect to keep a lot of gear in the tent prepare for a bit of a squeeze. I'm not a big guy, 5'11'' 160 lbs, but with my gear in the little mini-vestibule, my 50 lb boxer barely fits in at my feet. It's the version with the built in LED lights, which I wouldn't have chosen but I actually do like having them now. If I could have picked, probably would have gone for the 2 person, and likely would have done the Copper Spur instead of the Fly Creek, but all in all for $150 it was a great buy.
>>
>>1040088
You only need to bring those things when you need them. I love having a modular sleeping system. Plus my ground sheet, tarp and bug net all weigh in it at around 700g and cost me less than a tent of the same weight.

>>1037360

Used to have a terra nova zephyros 2. Currently using a vango zenith 200 and it out performs the zephyros in every way. The extra weight (which isn't a whole lot) is worth it imo. Love that tent.

I'm not into the whole ultralight thing though.

Hilleberg are great, but they almost exclusively make winter tents, so I'd expect them to be a little heavier than a 3-season tent would be, and probably a little clammy in summer heat.

The Niak looks pretty good, though. It's one of only a handful of 3-season tents they make.

If you're a beginner then start off with a Walmart tent, something like this. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-7-x-5-Hiker-Tent-Sleeps-1-2/22659694
You shouldn't be spending over 50$ for a first tent. Your concern for a first time out shouldn't be cutting weight, it should be having everything you need. On future trips, you'll know from that experience what to not take in the future.
I'd also check with your local scout troop to see if they have any unused tents you can buy or trade for.
>>1040088
All you need is a tarp and a ground sheet (something you'll already bring for a tent) and a tubfloor or MSS.
>>1040062
Foxholes are my favorite sleeping style.
>>
>>1044591
Either get a cheap tent to start off with like walmart, or stansport scout tent is another I've seen people recommend (never tried it myself though). Basically, try camping if you've never camped before. Buy something cheap so you can replace it when you know what you want. Hell maybe you decide you hate tents and then go to hammocks.
>>
>>1044591
REI makes good budget tents. Do not buy any tent that is sold at Walmart. Cheap tents tend to not be 100% waterproof, they tend to break, and they tend to be made of a multitude of small parts that get lost.
>>
>>1040407
Depends how big you are and how much stuff you have but probably. Clothes and stuff just stuff at your feet or use as a pillow in a stuff sack, bulkier stuff leave in the bag and sit next to your boots under the fly but outside the mesh. I would recommend a small scrap of plastic to sit things on in the "vestibule", the rainfly does a good job but stuff will still get wet from underneath.

Typically not enough ventilation in a 4 season, if you live in a warm or humid environment you'll probably regret not having air flow when you sweat like a pig all night and condensation builds up on the fly.

I use the warbonnet superfly, which has doors as well so you have really good rain coverage and set it up with trekking poles.

The main difference that sets apart a 4 season tent from a 3 season tent is the ability to handle snow-loading and high winds. Most 3 season tents are made to minimize weight and maximize floor space (and head space), so the poles are are often lighter duty. A good 4 season tent is designed to handle heavy snowfall, as well as the strong winds of the Arctic. Therefore, they usually have a good way to block cold breezes from coming into the tent. It's a tricky balance between blocking breezes and also maintaining good ventilation (to prevent internal condensation and frosting in the winter), but usually that translates to warm weather usage as retaining the humidity from your body more than a 3 season tent would, which makes them feel hot and clammy in the summertime.

When it comes to Hilleberg, the inner tent is detachable and you can get a mesh inner tent as an accessory.

Use the real deal during winters, and a mesh when it's warm. The outer tent is sturdy enough to keep water out anyway.

...and it's possible to use just the mesh if you are in a desert or something.

Good to know. That would make the tents really versatile if I wanted to drop a thousand dollars on a tent.

You can do that with most any tent, but I don't understand why any tent manufacturers advertise tents as having this "feature." If you camp directly under the stars without any barrier over you, then you'll wake up covered in dew, even on a clear night in the desert. Better not to test the DWR coating on a down sleeping bag if I don't have to.

Because there are hot and humid places that get fucking cold during the winter. Normal temperatures here go from 115 F down to -10 F. That's with heat index and wind chill.

I'd rather drop 1000 USD on a tent once than drop 100 USD on a tent once a year for 15 years.
>>
>>1046439
Yeah, well,
>once a year
is absolutely absurd. There's no way you've been going through a tent every year.

Is this a decent deal? I'm thinking about dropping the $160 on the Lunar Duo but fug the color is ugly

Call me an ultra light jerkoff but $10 extra for 600grams lighter seems like a great deal.
>>
>>1046500

I was also considering this. I like the aesthetic and the flexibility of the tarp on top. Though it's pretty great to have both flaps open on the lunar duo

I don't have any experience with Sierra Designs at all so I don't how they perform, sorry. There's a huge market for tents which is great but also confusing, in the end you'll just have to decide what aspect of tenting is most important to you.

There are lots of quality tents in the $350-500 price range that should last just as long as a Hilleberg if you don't abuse them - and that goes for the Hillebergs too. At the end of the day, it's just nylon fabric and some floating embers from your campfire can put a hole in the rainfly if you're not careful.

The Hubba Hubba is an excellent tent that sells for $400 when new. So yea, that's a great deal.

Hey guys, so speaking of hilleberg I'm going to be likely buying a Niak 2.
One of the main reasons is because the rainfly connects to the inner tent while setting up in the rain without needing to put the footprint or the inner mesh like most other tents.

I know the MSR Hubba NX can do that, albeit needing the footprint, & being less durable & can't handle too much higher mountain winds.

Money isn't too big of an issue for a shelter but it'd be nice not to drop $750 on a shelter. I want this tent to sub 5 lbs altogether.

Do you guys know of any tent that fits that criteria?
