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.

The tent is enormous (for its weight), not cramped at all even with two tall guys sharing it, and the best part of course is the vestibule, which can fit an ungodly amount of gear. In a worst-case, true survival situation, the tent could probably serve as shelter for four or five people. The fabric is light but, so far as I can tell, tough, and the tensioning lines you can stake out allow flexibility in pitching. The tent is also loaded with functionality; there's a clothesline running through the sleeping compartment to hang stuff on (great for hanging an headlamp from for illumination at night) and pockets in the body of the tent. The vestibule can be opened and rolled up in several ways, so you can have the tent as open or as battened-down as you like. And of course the thing that ties everything together is the unbelievably low weight.

The only downside is you have to find a piece of flat ground large enough to pitch on. What a great tent. Never buy from another company.
