Re: Stephensons?

My current tents are a Kifaru 8-man tipi, a Kifaru Paratipi, an Integral Designs MKI-XL, a Bibler Solo Dome and a Hilleberg Saivo. I just tossed my elderly Chouninard Pyramid, the original blue version and have owned/used a number of tents from Europe, the USA, the UK and Canada as well as having sold tents in my last job. I have used most of what has been on the market over the past 40+ years, in B.C./Alberta conditions.

I won't debate the issue or engage in personal pizzing matchs, but, I will say that this Hilleberg Saivo is the single finest tent I have EVER seen or used and so easy to erect that even a klutz like me can do it quicker than almost anything else, except my Integral Designs Mega Sola.

At present, I would no buy any tent EXCEPT a Hilleberg, even at the high prices they sell for when imported into Canada....that says what I have experienced and I prefer opinions based on experience.
