The Atlas Tent from Hilleberg is the largest and most spacious tent available in their current range and forms a modular base camp option for extended use for big groups or prolonged expeditions.
Despite its size, the Atlas tent is both relatively lightweight as well as being very easy to pitch and is even free standing (although it's always best to peg it down, you wouldn't want to lose it!). Combining multiple lightweight poles and an exceptionally strong Kerlon SP outer tent fabric, the Atlas is the ideal base camp tent for large groups, and is perfect in exposed and extreme conditions. The dome design is excellent for absorbing the loading of snowpack thanks to its static strength.
Originally designed and built the Atlas for polar scientists who wanted a mobile research station, it has been used with great success by South Pole research teams for over seven years. It appeals to large backcountry groups of all types, from mountaineering expeditions needing a highly reliable, spacious base camp tent to outdoor programs looking for large, easily portable spaces for sleeping and group gathering. It has also become especially popular with outfitters leading large groups into remote places.
The clever modular design also makes the Hilleberg Atlas highly customisable in order to taylor it to any and all weather and terrain conditions. Available here in the Basic form, the Atlas can be customised as needed with a variety of options, the fitted Atlas footprint, the Inner Tent 8 and 6, which sleep eight and six persons, respectively, both with sewn-in floors. The Floorless Inner also sleeps eight, and can be paired with the Detachable Floor, which can also be used without the inner tent. External Vestibules can be added to either door, and the Connector can join multiple Atlas tents together. For the full tent, please contact us having decided on your preferred elements, we will then order them for express delivery from Hilleberg.
