Description

The Nallo 2 GT is a four-season tent made by Hilleberg. It has an average rating of 4 stars (out of 5), based on 9 user reviews.

Manufacturer's Description:
The Nallo and Nallo GT are the ideal all-around, all-season, ultra light 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 pitch and strike 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 above- and below-treeline use in all seasons, but because they are built using our ultralight Kerlon 1200 and 9 mm poles, 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.

"I bought this tent (after a lot of research and comparison with others) with the hope that it would be versatile enough to go anywhere and do anything (within reason) while still being light/compact enough to be taken on less serious trips, yet still be comfortable for 2/3 people to spend potentially an extended period in."

"Hands down the best tent I've ever owned or even used. I live in the Southeast, and I wanted a tent that would handle the humidity of a Southeastern summer but that I could use four seasons here and three elsewhere. I was initially unsure that, without a mesh inner, the Hilleberg would be tolerable in the South -- but it's not just tolerable, it's palatial, and I think I could probably use it four seasons just about anywhere."

"I have had it with this tent, I spent a very damp and cold couple of days, in the Scottish borders, and it rained most of the time. Now I expect my tent to keep me and my equipment dry, but it didn't manage that. The condensation trouble again reared its ugly head, and dripped onto the inner tent, and then onto me or my friend."

"I have had this tent for nearly three years, and like Peter Thomson's review, I too had trouble with the poles. They also snapped on me three times, and once it went through the flysheet, and the tent was sent away for weeks on end.

I have now had all the poles replaced at their expense."

"I use this exclusively for snowshoeing and winter mountaineering. The pros are its weight, vestibule and ease of set-up. Ventilation was a challenge in the beginning and condensation build-up was a bit much until I figured it out. If you button it up, it will get very warm and you'll get wet."

"I have owned and used a number of other tents over the years. . . . What was I thinking?

This tent is comparable to driving a high end sports car, sure you pay alot for it but it is worth every dime. From ease of set up to the design and craftmanship of things as small as guy line tighteners."

"For the first four weeks this was the best tent I have ever used, after that it was the worst.

The tent was supplied with straight poles that started to become curved with use, after which every single pole segment either broke or the segment split when being used in calm weather."

"This has to be the best tent I have ever owned. Very light for its size and easily erected the large vestible gives a hugh amount of space. I use it for cycle camping and the vestible is handy for stowing panniers. At a push the bike with the front wheel removed, could go in there."

"This is a 2 person tent with a HUGE vestibule. The inside tent is the same as the regular Nallo (a good amount of room for two, but not much gear), but an additional pole and vestibule extension gives you room for gear plus dog, cooking, boots, snowshoes and then some."
