General comments: The Nallo 2 has been the first choice for many trekkers and backpackers for many years now. Very lightweight - Hilleberg give a weight of 2.1kgs if you take all the pegs, poles, bags etc. It is a roomy tent for two, with a massive porch which is amply big enough for storing rucsacs and cooking inside it - with care of course! This new model has a tapered ceiling, lowering towards the back. The poles are colour coded which means set-up is very quick. One issue that everybody needs to know of is that there is a bit of a condensation issue with this tent. Even using the vent to its full potential at the rear and with your door open you will still get appreciable quantities of condensation inside the tent. That said, I have owned two of these tents and would still buy another as my first choice for all lightweight use. This lightweight comes at a cost however and you should not expect the groundsheet to last as long as other tents. Scottish heather and rock will make short work of it, so pic your site with care!

Pros: Lightweight, build quality, fast to pitch

Cons: Quite a big pack size for such a lightweight tent. Condensation

General comments: Just what I was used to as a seasoned camper with girlfriend, but in about a quarter of the weight, even less of the messing about time setting it up, and only three times the price I was used to. A great trade-off! Have used in autumn in the Lakes in torrential downpour for several days with no leaks.

Pros: Light & tiny for a two-berth. Workmanship perfect and tension well-calculated in using pull-cords at well-placed points. I won't need another tent unless the mountains seduce me or it gets nicked!

Cons: Wire for vent annoying when trying to pack it. I've already broken peaks in hats made of similar stuff, and I always pack the wire last now. Also, the guy ropes are reed and white! If I'm going to spend 300 notes on a tent, I'm experienced enough to know where guy ropes are! Plus I didn't like the reflective strips sewn in to the new generation. Should have been velcro, so you can choose when to be seen and when not to. I've spent ages picking them out! Also, I would have liked a compression sack if they'd have sorted out the wire vent support - even less air in your pack!

General comments: If you are looking to buy a lightweight bombproof tent then this is the boy. I had wanted to buy this tent for a while but was always put off by the high price point but now that I have used it...its well worth the money. Coming in at 2.1kg it is very lightweight and when you take the poles out of its stuffsc it squeezes down to a very small pack so it dosent take up a lot of room. Pitching is simple, 2 poles, feed them through, put out the guys and its done. The tent sits quite low so wind resistance makes it good for all conditions. In some other review that I have read some complained about the tents lack of condensation control and found it wet in the mornings. I found this the case th first time but on the tail of the tent there is a zip which you can open which helps control the condensation, this can be propped up with a small pole which is supplied. I found the tent very spacious inside. I would advise also to buy a footprint for the tent. The porch area is spacious enough to use a smell stove in altough it wouldn't always advise this!

Pros: weight, ease of pitch, interior space value for money!

Cons: Initially price

General comments: The nallo 2 currently one of the lightest 2 man tents on the market at only 2.2kg without the foot print this tent is perfect for 2 people but could possible acommodate 3 small people or for the single that likes to have some living space. The tent it's self has nice build quality to every last detail the pegs are super strong that can be driven into hard rocky ground the guides are easy to adjust and pitches easy even in the dark colour coded poles are a nice touch, the tent has held strong in gales for me with no problems altho sometimes condenstation has been a problem but there is an easy fix for this used the 2 outer vents front and back and open the inner tents vent 2 inches and the problem seems to be sloved with minium heat loss. only niggle is if the ground isnt flat the tent seems to slack and crack in wind apart from that it's the best 2 man tent i have owned.

Pros: light weight strong adjustable nice living space and gear storage

Cons: condenstation build up hard to pitch on sand without snow pegs Price
