    Four season backpacking tent

    Anybody have a recommendation on a good, lightweight 4 season tent for backpacking. I typically hunt The beginning of Nov. between 7,000 and 11,000.

    I think most would agree that Hilleberg has some great options.

    Thanks. Do you recommend one particular model? I am looking for a three person tent. Do you recommend a one or two entance tent? I was looking at either the Nallo 3 or Kaitum 3.

    The Hilleberg Allak is a very killer product. It is a touch heavier than some but it is completely bullet proof. Two person, four season with double vestibules. Check it out at, www.hilleberg.com.

    Thanks for the info. I'll take a close look at the Allak. I wonder if it is big enough for two 6' plus guys.

    The line from Hilleberg is by far the best 4 season tents that you can buy. I personally like the Nallo 2 GT. I really like the GT because you get so much vestible area. I feel that that is huge when you can keep your rifle/pack inside the tent. It is also big enough to cook in if you are in a big storm.I work for a online company called highcalibergear.com and we carry the full line of Hilleberg tents. We will special order any of there tents for you as well.

    Thanks. Is the Nallo 2 GT big enough for two 6' 1" large framed guys or would you suggest the Nallo 3 GT?

    I am going with the Kaitum 3. I like the idea of two entrances and two vestibules so my partner and I can sleep head to foot (more room). I don't know if it better or worse than the Nallo 3 for your application, but I'll let you know if I don't like the Kaitum 3 around the first of october!

    For a 4 season tent. Don't think so. The rain fly, hell even the shell of the tent is to thin. I would use this the BA Fly Creek for only early season CA A season hunts, where there might be only a slight chance of rain, let alone snow, hail, or wind. The Heliberg is the best option. Bomb proof, but somewhat heavier.
