The Hillberg Unna is an Ultralight, fully free standing, one person dome tent, that's both supremely simple and highly versatile. It is ideal for journeys in any season but when you need to keep the weight of your gear to a minimum.
It's simple design make it excellent where the terrain makes for tricky pitching conditions. Since the Unna's outer tent is made from ultralight Kerlon 1200 – which has a 12 kilo tear strength - it is still far stronger than most “expedition” tent fabrics, making the Hilleberg Unna a fine choice for trips in exposed or harsh conditions. Its dome design handles snow loading quite well, making it suitable for short term base camp use, while its roominess and light weight lend themselves very well to mobile journeys, where you pitch your tent each day.
Rather than a vestibule, the Unna has a spacious interior that easily accommodates the occupant and gear or, in a pinch, the occupant and another person. By disconnecting a corner of the inner tent, you could even create both a virtual vestibule and keep the inner tent dry, while entering or exiting in rainy conditions. The fully free standing Unna is supremely easy to pitch, and will go up nearly anywhere – rocky shores, narrow ridgelines, dense forests (or, of course, even on “perfect” tent sites) –and it boasts an impressive amount of interior space. Add to that its eminent stability and impressively light weight, and it’s no wonder that it has become a favorite of paddle tourers, year ‘round backpackers, mountaineers, cycle tourers and casual campers alike.
