The Saivo from Hilleberg is an outstanding all-around tent for adventures where absolute strength is the highest priority. The Kerlon 1800 outer tent fabric and 10 mm poles puts it amongst the most robust tents available, and the Dome design gives it great static strength for handling heavy snow loading.
Ideal for above treeline use in the most extreme conditions, yet because it is self-supporting and easy to pitch, the Saivo is equally at home below the treeline, all year ’round. The roomy two door/two vestibule configuration, along with the static strength, make is exceptional base camp tents, where the users will leave camp unattended for extended periods of time (the Saivo is often used at the South Pole, and is left unattended for weeks).
Highly popular with mountaineers as base camp tents, both the Saivo and it's sister tent, the Tarra have also found a great deal of loyalty among paddle tourers, who love their roomy, self-supporting design. Desert travellers, long distance ski tourers and polar expedition teams have also found these tents’ strength and simplicity welcome, as have backcountry walkers, especially those who enjoy travelling in unruly conditions.
FEATURES
- Self-supporting Dome design,
- Innovative short pole sleeve and clip system construction,
- Uniform length poles,
- Linked inner and outer tents make for simple, easy set up: only the vestibules require pegging out, and in nice weather these can be completely rolled aside.
- 10 mm poles with multiple crossing points make for an exceptionally stable tent with outstanding snow-load handling capability.
- Multiple guy lines afford even greater stability, especially as many of the guy line attachment loops are designed to be wrapped around poles or pole crossing points.
- Guy lines on the vent cover add yet another level of stability to both tents.
- Spacious interior thanks to a near vertical inner tent entrance, and only mildly sloping walls.
- Two entrances and two vestibules afford tremendous convenience, flexibility and comfort. For instance, one vestibule can be designated for gear stowage, while the other can be used for food preparation or gear sorting.
- One entrance of the tent can always be situated out of the wind.
- Asymmetrical entrances mean that you can enter and exit from either side or from the end of the vestibules, meaning you can always get in and out in the lee of the wind and keep rain from getting into the inner tent during entering or exiting.
- Ventilation system works regardless of the weather conditions, both since their inner tent fabrics are highly breathable yet water repellent, and since there are roof vents in both the inner and the outer tents.
