Description

The Soulo is a four-season tent made by Hilleberg. It has an average rating of 5 stars (out of 5), based on 1 user review.

Manufacturer's Description:
The Soulo is a completely free standing solo tent that is both expedition-ready and ultralight.

The Soulo is an intriguing combination of a number of design attributes. As with our solo tent Akto, it has a roomy vestibule; as with our Unna, it is fully free standing, and is roomy enough that if you want more vestibule space, you can get it by disconnecting a part of the inner.

And like our ultralight high altitude, mountain assault tent Jannu, the Soulo is tremendously strong – it has a stout 3 pole/3 crossing structure – as well as remarkably light, thanks to its Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles. As a result, the Soulo is wonderfully suited for all season use in both exposed and/or above tree line terrain, as well as in more protected conditions.

And like the Unna and the new Allak, it has a compact, fully free standing footprint, and so is excellent for tough pitching conditions like knife-edge ridges, rocky ground, and wooden-floored sites found in some parks. It is certainly light enough for mobile journeys, where you move your camp every day, while its Dome structure imparts superb snow load handling ability, making it a fine choice for most base camp use.

"After buying several tents for my solo trips over the last few years I ended up with a completely useless Eureka Skylite SUL. After spending the wettest three nights of my hiking career in it I went back to the shop and was allowed to return it. After deciding to spend a bit more than I had on the Eureka I ended up with the Hilleberg Soulo."
