Nallo 3 GT> Hilleberg
The Nallo 3 GT is a bomber, all-season European tunnel-design tent notable for its light weight, roomy vestibule, and pitching options. The Kerlon material is extremely strong but remarkably light. Like the Andromeda tent, the Nallo hangs from the fly, guaranteeing separation between fly and tent fabric. I also like the tensionless, oval door zipper. For stormbound conditions, the roomy vestibule provides space to cook, deal with gear, and expand the living quarters. In less adverse weather, the vestibule has two doors for venting and view, or the entire front can be rolled up to create an arch entrance. American tent-makers could pick up some tips from their European counterparts.

| I just hate this type of review. Very expensive tents when a 50 dollar coleman will serve just as well. So what if it wears out after a few seasons..but a new one! For a bit better tent you can step up to 150 bucks. 500 bucks for a tent is just robbery!! |

| Wow John, I couldn't disagree more. Get caught in a major wind and rain storm or lug that tub of a tent you bought for 50 bucks across a 2500 yard portage and believe me you'll be happy to part with the extra 3 hundred bucks. I bought a Mutha Hubba and spent 16 days in Algonquin in late August. Fantastic tent, plenty of room for me and the missus and we were dry in the worst kind of weather (our paddling mates couldn't say the same.) Trust me, you get what you pay for. And besides isn't it time to stop living in a throwaway culture. The world doesn't need more land fill courtesy of Coleman. |
