Hilleberg Staika

About Staika

A supremely strong, elegantly simple – and fully free standing – Dome Tent that is well-suited for any adventure. Because of its Kerlon 1800 outer tent material, 10 mm poles and completely free standing design, the Staika excels on any journey where absolute strength is the highest priority, and where terrain could create difficult pitching conditions. Easy to pitch and fully able to handle heavy snow loading, the Staika will serve admirably in both exposed and/or above tree line and protected terrain, year ‘round, in any and all weather conditions. And thanks to its spacious two door/two vestibule design and excellent static strength, it makes a superb base camp tent, where users will leave the tent unattended for extended periods of time.

Staika Users

The Staika is all about simple – but simple does not by any means equate to “sparse.” Easy to pitch, immensely stable, remarkably spacious, and quite light, the Staika is an excellent “go to” tent for any use where sturdy strength is the high priority.
We originally designed the Staika for paddle tourers, who wanted a highly stable, fully free standing tent for handling tricky pitching conditions. Since then, it has garnered a large, loyal following amongst a wide assortment of other adventurers: mountaineers, polar travelers, and ski tourers find it a supremely stable base camp tent in all conditions; bicycle tourers love its simplicity and completely free standing construction; and even regular backpackers find great comfort in its roominess and relatively light weight as well as in its strength and stability.

Hilleberg Nallo / GT

The Nallo 2 is fast becoming a favourite among camping and outdoors enthusiasts. It’s a great offering from the popular SWEDISCH TENT MAKER HILLEBERG. Their products are used the world over and are commonly found in the UK as well.

Hilleberg has always offered the very best and they have not held anything back this time either. The tent’s first and foremost bright spot is its extra impressive space to weight ratio. The second advantage offered by the Hilleberg Nallo is how easy and fast it is to pitch and set up. The tunnel design tent also offers plenty of porch space, in addition to is spacious interior. Overall, the tent scores very well in terms of the space and comfort it offers its occupants.

Here's a photo of the Nallo 3GT by Hilleberg. They are fantastic tents. I always keep coming back to them. I like the double wall exo-skeleton design concept where I can erect both the inner and outer pieces simultaneously. I could go on and on, but it would be better for consumers to just get their CATALOG and study it. Bottom line, I think that Hilleberg tents are the finest built tents out there.

About Nallo and Nallo GT

The Nallo and Nallo GT are the ideal all-around, all-season, ultralight tents. In essence, the Nallo and its extended vestibule version, the Nallo GT, are the ultralight versions of the Nammatj and Nammatj GT. They excel in any situation where the lightest possible tent is needed, but where true all season strength and reliability might be required. Both tents’ tunnel tent design and ultra light weight make them ideal for mobile adventures, where you move your tent every day. And, because of their exceptional weight to space ratio, they are perfect for long distance endeavors where light weight is a greater priority than absolute strength. Certainly, they are suitable for exposed and/or above tree line use in all seasons, but because they are built using our ultralight Kerlon 1200, 9 mm poles, and lighter gauge zippers, they do not have the same strength as their Nammatj cousins. That said, Kerlon 1200, with its 12 kilo tear strength, is an order of magnitude stronger even than most so-called “expedition grade” fabrics, and so is easily robust enough to handle adverse situations well.

Nallo & Nallo GT Users

The Nallo and Nallo GT’s salient characteristic may be their ultra light weight, but both are still fully able to handle all season, all weather adventures. This explains why these tents are the first choice of those needing the lightest weight tents that still offer all-season, all weather functionality. This includes wilderness photographers, professional climbers, hunters, and other adventurers who have to carry large amounts of gear, as well as long distance hikers, who want to get more out of carrying less. Globe-trotting trekkers often carry the Nallo, as it ensures they will have private accommodations wherever they go, and solo hikers love having near-palatial space without any real weight penalty. Families with younger children and those who hike with their dogs love the extra space – and, of course, the ultra light weight – the Nallo GT has to offer.
