For the first time in its 40-year history, Swedish tent maker Hilleberg has created a series of three-season tents. These are two-wall models, featuring the same craftsmanship for which Hilleberg's expedition tents are known, but at weights more appropriate for warm-weather backpacking.

The line features tent bodies of breathable nylon with an outer shell of a proprietary siliconized nylon material Hilleberg calls Kerlon 1000.

Rogen

The burlier of the new tents is the Rogen, designed for "mountain" weather. Hilleberg claims that this is a three-season tent, but I have weathered winter storm conditions in four-season tents built to far lower standards.

Anjan 2 and 3

The Anjan is slightly lighter than the Rogen, and suitable for less-punishing weather. It it available in both 2- and 3-person sizes, and catches my eye because the Anjan 3 weighs a mere 7 ounces more than the Anjan 2 — a substantial space-to-weight ratio advantage.
