- FJALLRAVEN KEB DOME 2 TENT
A first look and review at a true mountain freestanding tent designed for the harsh winter conditions throughout the world. This adds strength to my arsenal of Fjallraven tents of which I have tested thoroughly in the worst conditions from 100mph winds to heavy snow loading (check out the videos below). I look forward to testing this tent fully and gaining its trust for future adventures whether it be on a mountain or in my kayak.
Have a closer look at the KEB DOME 2 with this link to the official website:

I love my own Abisko dome 3 in bluuuueee😄 so much that I really enjoyed watching this! Also interesting with the differences between Keb and Abisko tents.
Now I will watch the tents in wind and snow videos, comfy with my coffee mug beside me...
That looks like a monster. What a well thought out and gorgeous looking tent. Can't wait to see you put it through its paces. 💪
Should be good😬😬😬
I love it when Al gets new gear. He's like a kid in a sweet shop 😉 xx
Yeah, positive and enthusiastic 👍
@@johnmull59 That's why I give him the thumbs up at the start of every video he releases. He's my favourite CZcamsr.
Thanks guys I’m feeling the love🥰
Looks a quality shelter mate - should prove to be a nice refuge from the elements! ATB, Chris
Yes I look forward to it. We might have to share next time being 4kg 😂
I must now confess, that probably the first and definitely the last time I slept in a tent was some 36 years ago. I stepped out of the tent in the dark and into thin air. I turned and sort of slid down about two and a half metres. I was eight months pregnant and got the shock of my life.
No nasty comments please, I've heard them all. Most of them from myself.
Nice to see You two back
Well being pregnant shouldn’t hold you back but definitely mind your step😂
Man, what an absolute FORT of a tent.. It's got more features than my house!
😂Yes it’s definitely a great base to feel safe.
It is a great tent. We have the Abisko Dome 3 and we use it for cycling holidays (I am Dutch...). When it is set up, it is a great tent. And with storm and rain it is even nicer (no problem at all). But it ain't perfect either. There is allways a lot of condensation, and I don't like packing a wet tent. Speaking of packing, the first time I got crazy because of all those lines. You must absolutely bundle the lines before packing (we use rubber bands). I wunder if you will use the groundsheet and why you do or don't. Please tell us your experciences.
Yes I’m looking forward to testing it out properly. Great internal space 😬
Always wanted a keb dome! But for multi day trek just kind of heavy. Then you add a bear canister and oof i mean is doable but talk about a pain.
Im hauling 10L of water on a 3 day in the dessert this weekend and my pack is around 20.4KG thats all thanks to the abisko with the inner net mesh configuration instead of the actual inner tent fabric.
Thats one of the things i love about the fjallraven tent you can customize it. Inner mesh, double poles for winter conditions. Or straight skeleton without the rainfly config.
Versatile at its best.
Yes definitely great tents. Enjoy your adventure in the desert mate👊
Can't wait to see you put this tent through it's paces in some trying conditions Al! I own the Abisko Dome 3, only used it in fair weather, but I am certain it could cope with 99% of the weather one might encounter. I love this tent because it is so versatile. Open all the doors, vents and take off the roofcover if you know it is going to be a hot sumner day, and do the opposite when the weather calls for it. Use the vestibule that is downwind as entry and exit, use the other for cooking and storage. Also having a door on each side prevents you having to climb over one another if you bring a friend.
For anyone looking to invest in the dome series of Fjellreven tents, the abisko will do in almost any weather, except if you are a stormchaser or on an expedition to one of the poles or Greenland. If you are like me and my spouse that enjoy a little more comfort and space, then go for the 3 man as a 2 person tent, you won't regret it. We went on a multiday trek (7 days) and the extra space is gold when you need to stay inside the tent in bad weather to change and airdry clothes. You also gain a couple of centimeters of headroom in the 3 man, which is priceless when you are two. Also makes it easier to organize your personal gear and keep it separated.
Yes I agree the abisko dome will do for 90% of nights out. Great shape and space. I can’t wait to use it 😬
What an absolute beast of a tent Allen, gonna be some cool adventures in this 💪
Yes definitely! Exciting stuff
Great review Al. Fjallraven make the best equipment in the world (my opinion). I have a feeling you will test it so far past it's limit, just to see. Your experience and knowing your limits and comfort zone will test just about any manufactures equipment way past their tested limit. Can't wait.
I seem to attract bad weather so I’m sure it will get a blast😂
Hi Al, I have the same tent. It is epic. I take it solo and with the better half. Yes, it’s heavy, but what a shelter. Fits a treat in my 65Ltr Kajka with all winter gear. You will love it. The all mesh inner is also perfect and can be pitched inner only for the hot summer months. Enjoy Al.
Thanks mate you’re making me more excited to use it 😬
wow what a cracking tent , it looks like a lot of thought has gone into it , cracking design , can't wait to see you test it to its limits 👍
Fjällräven head to toe now. Someone has a new sponsor it seems! 😜
Nice bit of kit mate 👌. Decided to get the abisko lite 1 from the vids you made of it. Looking forward to seeing the new tent put through hell lol 😆.
I think the lite 1 is hard to beat as the best all rounder 1 man tent. Good choice👌
Great video review, we were up your neck of the woods this week, The Dales, lad. Well at Malham cave finding.
Great place to visit! I’m sure you loved it
Looks like a great tent, but the most impressive thing imho is your pronounciation of Fjällräven! The best I have ever heard from a non-scandinavian!
😂 I try but it’s hard converting a Yorkshire accent 😂
I love this tent. I have a 4-person dome tent (not Fjallraven) and the design is really optimal in harsh weather, it is a beast! I could use a smaller dome tent in this design, so this will probably be the one! Awesome showing of the tent! Thanks!
She's a beauty!
Good to see you back doing videos 😊👍
Fjallraven gear is top class. I love the different vent options in their tents. This one looks great, well reviewed mate
I definitely love their gear! Thanks mate
Such robust quality and attention to detail… Fjällräven must have seen some of your more extreme videos and thought - Holy shit, we didn’t know they could do that! 😂
You’re definitely a good ambassador for the brand Al 👍🏼
😂😂😂 I actually think that is true. I’m happy working with fjallraven as all their kit is top quality 👍
I love my Abisko Lite 2. Congrats on your new gear and a great walktrough, Oh btw. I think that Blue can carry the pegs for you :)
Great idea👍. Spread the load
I can’t wait till you use it. Thanks, see you then. Have a terrific week.🙋🏻♀️💕
Great review Al all boxes ticked, congratulations with getting hold of the tent which looks really tuff spacious and well ventilated. Looking forward to see it getting a bashing on the hills.
I might need a bigger dig to carry it but it will definitely get tested well😂
I see this tent in UK mountain terrain. My problem is that I hardly ever find broad peaks in Europe’s mountains or at least not to my convenience. I feel more confident with a smaller tent and smaller footprint. Got the Hilleberg Unna for that reason and going to have a look at the BD Highlight as well. Best of luck with your wonderful new tent. I’m looking forward to your upcoming adventures.
Yes fitting in a bigger tent can be tricky at times but it’s just the same as fitting two smaller tents really. It looks awesome though 😬
Hey Al. That tent looks bomb proof. Love all the features and how versatile it is. That weight though, oof. You might need to swap out Blue with a pack horse. 😉
Looking forward to seeing you test this beast out.
😂 bushman and donkey
Now that looks like an update on the Ultimate Phasor Dome a cracking Yorkshire tent. Ultimate Equipment we're based in Halifax (I think, although I recall a mill near Batley). My tent has alternating green and cream panels and is still going strong after 45-ish years. If this Scandinavian version survives as well even the £1,000 price tag could be good value.
Amazing tent have it in green not cheap but worth every penny I also have the Abisco lite 1 when I go out alone - both Fantastic tents
New tents --- always fun and exciting!!! So far --- This one looks like a winner, and appears to be a big step up in the tent dept. for Fjallraven. Materials, design, and extra thoughtful features should be well-suited to multi-use in wide-ranging multi-conditions --- mild to wild. The no-se-um mesh associated with the fly entrances and vents provide great additional features not often seen. Especially nice in a fly-only pitch scenario.
It definitely looks a solid tent! I can’t wait to use it 😬
Now that is one bomber mountain tent my friend! Incredibly well designed and supremely built! I hope that you have many an epic adventure in it! 👍
This has got to be the best tent review that I've seen on the ol' Tube by the way brother! Two thumbs up 👍👍
Thanks mate! Just showing what’s there to help others make a decision on it. I think it’s mint👌
@@BUSHMANandBLUE You're very welcome buddy! And you definitely did an awesome job of showing this one off in all of it's finest. Now I want one for Winter base, haha.
Thanks for the review! Got the Abisko dome II for some time now. It is considerably lighter than the Keb version (3 kg) and offers the same space. Materials are the same as in the Abisko Light that can take some abuse as you so kindly demonstrated! Great tent for kayaking!
Yes I think the abisko dome will do for 95% of the time and is definitely easier to carry👍
The only thing I do not love with this design (and the fact that it is not a light tent) is that the poles are threaded through sleeves. This makes it somewhat harder to pitch in windy conditions that in.ex Hilleberg Allak/Sika/Soulo which has has clip attachments with the poles running on the outside of the flysheet. Other than that, I think this is one of the best designed dome-tents on the marked right now.
She is a Beast Al !!!
That will deal with anything !!!
Look-forward to you giving it some Treatment !!!
Cheers Graham
Yes I’m very happy with its potential 😬😬😬
Good to see a dome tent with lower side vents.great ventilation options.
Yes I’d like to use it in summer too. Looks spot on👌
What a tent ⛺️💥 (looks awesome)
Great review - really thorough. There is a place for a proper two man tent, designed to be carried by two and this one looks the business. When you come to to use it in earnest I'd like to see a postscript to this one showing what the pack size and weight is like if you split it into two bags for two people to carry. The inner and poles in one and the fly and pegs in another. Great channel, keep them coming. A chuck under the chin to Blue.
Yea it definitely has its place. I’ve a couple mates I’ll have to test it with so I’m sure I’ll see how it works with two
Incredibly nice to "live in" this tent. Ventilation and inside height is awesome. Especially the ventilation is underrated compared to other manufacturers. Many people doesn't seem to get that better ventilation = less condensation.
Got the Abisko Dome 2 myself (using Keb Endurance 3 for more extreme stuff). Only things I do not like about it is the setup process, which can be a lot of hassle in strong winds compared to the tunnel tents or clip-on dome tents (like HB Soulo).
Yea I’ll have to test it out but bigger tents are definitely harder to pitch. It’s swings and roundabouts though as the clip on pole tents the clips freeze and can be a pain.
Really like that tent! I've been waiting for another video from you!!!
I’m still here just been busy on some exciting projects 😬
Nice video, too me this would be an ideal for two people to take up the mountains to use as a base camp tent when walking up different trails each day, and better when you split the weight, one person carrying the tent, the other the poles etc. Be nice to see Fjallraven using your footage on their website. Just noticed now have 40k subscribers, great.
Yes definitely a great base that you could trust to be there when you get back. It would be good for snowy sled camping too. I’ve plenty of good footage for them😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Somehow I can't see you convincing Blue allowing you to harness him to a sled🤣
I think he’d like it😬
Very wise to put it up in your garden first 👍 looks amazing eagerly waiting for your next adventure 🤩
I want this. On a sled. Up a mountain in a snowstorm. . Great review! rarely does a review make me want something.
😂 it would be great as a sled tent 👌
That thing is an absolute beast! Can't wait to see you test this out on the top of a mountain in some crazy weather 😂.
I'm looking at the Abisko Lite 1 as a possible next tent down to your glowing reports of it. My little Cloud Peak 2 does me proud for a budget tent, but I definitely need something a bit better for some of my future plans (I do worry about how strong it would actually be in really bad conditions) and who better to take a recommendation from?!
Fantastic tent fly-through with the drone too 😁.
Thanks Rach 😬. Yea the cloud peak is great for 60% of the time but having a bit more trust in a tent will help. The abisko lite 1 is tough to beat as an all rounder 👌
Beauty of a tent ,Al. Massive vestibules, wellvented as well.I as well am looking forward to seeing U & Blue out up in hills with it. You re looking chipper mate. Cheers from Canada EH!
I’m happy on with a new project 😬😬😬. Thanks mate 👍
Now that's a TENT! I'd be willing to carry it on a solo trip and leave behind all the paraphernalia needed to cut up and cook fresh food. A couple of freeze dried meals instead would be well worth it! As long as Blue approves, of course.
I think we could play fetch in that tent 😂😂😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE hahahah yep!!
There you have the strongest and well disined Tent from Fjellraven, in my opinion, A dream tent, we look forward to the testing video😉
Looking forward to the storm video
😂
Great product review thanks Al, fjallraven stuff speaks for itself. Grand to see you and blue enjoying some downtime. Stay well 👍🏻
Thanks for this video. I’ve been researching Hillebergs for a few weeks now, but I think this is the winner. 3000 HH though, I wonder just how waterproof that is. I live in Scotland where wind and rain rule. The thing I think I like the most and thanks for showing it, is how the inner floor can be moved back to give more room in the vestibule.
My thoughts on the HH too , I'd prefer 5000mmHH for my own peace of mind.
@@wullieoutdoorsinscotland2192 I'm sure you've already determined the HH for the Hilleberg tent you are considering - is much much higher for the outer fabric & the floor fabric.
@@azclaimjumper I'm not considering a hilliberg, only saying I'd prefer a higher HH on a tent that costs £1.000
@@azclaimjumper Hello, it was me making the Hilleberg comments. Yes, the Hilleberg are much higher (Black label are 5,500 and the rest below are 5,000). I've read a lot over the past couple of days about HH and whilst 3,000 may be fine, more is better. With this particular tent though, I would use it with my wife, who probably wouldn't go out in massive storms like I would, so 3,000 may be fine for this usage. Looks like an awesome tent, I just wish the HH were higher. For my own solo tent I'd either go for the Hilleberg Staika or Soulo BL. Yes it's weight, but I just consider it as extra exercise.
I love how well thought out Fjallraven tents are. I've got an Abisko Lite 1 and it just fills me with joy every time i pitch it. That's a beast of a tent you've got there.
What a cracking tent, looks like they've thought of everything. Brilliant review too, looking forward to seeing it in one of your vids!
I have been looking at this tent for years, but never seen a proper review on it. I really look forward to seeing it used in anger. 😀👍
I really like the look of it so can’t wait 😬
One of the best texts on the market! I have the Abisko Dome 2.
Looks like a lovely tent.
That is a BEAST of a tent! heavyish, but as soon as you share the load, no worries. I would even consider it for a shortish solo hike for a luxury experience ;)
Exactly that mate! 👊
Wow!!! What an amazing tent, can't wait for your next adventure 😀
Congrats on the new tent! That is one beauty with many great features. Can't wait to see it out under windy conditions. Might need to get Blue to carry the poles to lighten your load a bit 😊.
I think it will be great especially with two people😬
Very well presented, Thank you.
Love that dog
😬
That roof thing is different with all the clips and such. Looks pretty solid. Thee needs to be up Kinder Scout with that or Ben Nevis. Blue as beautiful as ever.
Yes it’s a good feature having that storage👌
I once camped in a wind storm in the desert. My tent, a North Face mountain tent just sat there and never moved. My friend, in his dollar store super cheap tent had to be rescued as his tent collapsed on him in the middle of the night. Pay as much as you can for a quality tent, it's all that stands between you and possible hypothermia and a horrible hideous frozen demise on a hill.
Well put
Yes mate I definitely agree. Worth the money for reducing risk and personal safety 👊
Hes gonna catch that drone one day , he sure is fast enough 🤣🤣
He’s already had it twice but luckily I’ve trained him not to grab it now. He just rounds it up😂
Lovely tent had all the bells and whistle I would love yo see it in the same colour as your abisko lite 1
Yes but I don’t think it’s available in the sand colour. Green though👌
Sweet. New video. Something to watch at 11pm
We have an abisko dome 2, it has been good to see some on detail differences between the two very similar tents, both very nice bits of kit
Great tent and a kg lighter than the keb. 👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Yep! 😂
That's a big blue monster alright! No skipping leg day to get this one up high Al 😂
Look forward to seeing it getting a good hiding.
Stay safe and well mate,
Adge.
😂 yes I think it will be used for when I’m in my kayak so I won’t notice the weight. First impressions are awesome though😉
🙏🙏 I pray to god blue has a very very long life and u to mate, he’s so beautiful and watching u and blue cheers me up so much, I am very sick and your vids make me feel better, take care mate 🙏🙏
I’m glad you appreciate the vids buddy. Blue is definitely a top dog😉👍
That’s a gorgeous tent and I can’t wait to see you put it through its paces prices seem to be comparable to other high-end tents with the three person only being 1100. I would love to get some US pricing because we have red Deculus winds over here. Two summers in a row we’ve hit over 100 mile an hour.
I need this tent in my life :)
Can’t wait to see you in the mountains with it
WOW! Is it weird to fall in love with a tent, might have to sell my car to buy one tho... Loving Blue as always, the little comments crack me up. Thanks Al, looking forward to seeing how the tent does , now we just need a storm!!
It’s definitely a tent ready for some love. I need Nicola to come camping with me in it😬🥰
You're going to like this tent better on those windy summit camps than the Abisko.
Can’t wait for the snowy summit video!
Though for the winds you see I’d double pole this one.
It should be good 😬😬😬 excited
How much can Blue carry before people start reporting abuse?
Could he carry the poles and pegs?
😂 the recommended weight is a max of a quarter of their body weight. Blue always carries way less than that though.
Time to spread the load I say. Awaken Blue’s Inuit blood and start calling him Torngarsuk the Sky God as a nickname.
Stoked to see how the awesome yet heavier tent arrives to the top of a mountain!
I had the abisko dome 2. Made the Hilleberg Soulo look like a wendy house in comparison
😂 I’m sure it did. I definitely prefer the space in a bigger tent especially with the dog
The comparison to the keb is either the allak or the staika. Soulo is 1 man tent.
@@AndyWardle yeah I know but I've only had them 2
@@AndyWardle just my attempt at humour mate, don't read too much into it. Soulos a bomber
@@tomwig100 😂 it’s ok. I was just saying 👌
Thank you sooo much bro!
I will have to save up for that tent 🙂
2 doors side by side would be nice to have as a panoramic view. And a gap in the pole sleeve so you could attach an additional guy wrapped around the pole a la hille. Just my 2 cents.
Awesome! Agree with A Trick of the Trail, it looks well designed and perfect tent for an Al & Blue true test 👍 But any 4kg+ I guess you’ll be driving your Disco to the top of Great Gable rather than lug that weight 😂
😂😂😂 that’s exactly it. I’m sure it will get used well though… next to the car😂
Looking forward to a test on a mountain.
So cool to see you get fjällräven stuff.
Yes and I truly love all their gear👌
Cant wait for your mountain test thanks for posting
Another amazing video and review top work as always al thanks keep up the great work 🧡
That's a really nice looking tent Al 👍👍 very spacious for 2 people or a solo mansion lol..be well my friend ✌️
I’ll be greedy and take the mansion 😬😂
Lol me too
Can't wait for the video with this tent!!
As i see it, its Fjällräven and Hilleberg that makes this type of tents. Have both but I always take the Keb Endurance 2 or 3 for hiking
Great tent. I actually prefer a tunnel tent👌
Very nice tent
Looks like a great 2 manner if I am allowed to say that. It looks a good un and yeah, instructions should only be looked at if you get stuck or have bits left over. It il be reet. Great review and looking forward to see your good lady give it her stamp of approval. Maybe, you take the poles and the pegs in your backpack and let Nicola take the rest. I hope she can't see this or I will be getting blocked. All the best matey. Take care Al lad
Let’s hope I’ve found the tent to keep her happy 😂😂😂. Thanks mate👍
Looking to purchase this tent for me and the missis waiting for a upload of you using it before hand
Great demo
Are the Zippers YKK COIL zippers or YKK zippers with teeth?
Line runners appear to be a design similar to Hilleberg Line Runners which is a good thing.
The vestibule is absolutely massive.
The inner & outer elastic attachments are also similar to Hilleberg tent. You'll really love being able to pitch the inner & outer simultaneously, especially if it starts to rain; you'll be able to pitch this tent in jig time.
I'm certain, by now, the whole world will be looking forward to your actual outdoor adventures with this shelter.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
It’s definitely spacious even for two people. You could do pole vault in it Bill😂. I always prefer pitch in one tents 👍
I have the abisko view 2. It also has a lot of space. Similar to the dome. Its just a 3 season tent instead of 4. But the weight and size is much less then the 4kg. The features of the dome are awesome but the weight and size is really a no-go for me.
The view 2 is a great tent for summer opening it completely up. 😉
Nice one bruv..looks quality..blue is a Legand 🤣👍
Definitely looks a solid tent with plenty of options for venting but the weight would put me off if it was kilo lighter it would be a cracking tent
Definitely better for two people but it seems awesome 👍
Morning blue
What a lovely présentation. I've been désappointe by not being able to obtain a Hilleberg Staika anywhere. So have turned my attention to Fyallraven. I'd be interested to know how long it takes to pitch in reality, and how easy the poles might be to slide through. A six week motorcycle trip to Greece from the UK, then up to the Balkans (Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, back through Italy and down to the south of France and back to the UK) left me désappointed with my Berghaus. This has made me look at more serious tents. As I said, lovely video, thank you.
Sounds like you enjoy an adventure. Maybe look at the Fjallraven Endurance 2 or 3 as the porch space is massive to keep any wet biking gear etc
I eventually went for a Keb Dome 2. This, on the grounds that I'm 71 and it's about time I bought a décent tent. Life's too short not to!@@BUSHMANandBLUE
I'm out for the first time i n it this weekend. I'm almost désappointed that there's a good weather forecast.
Is there such a thing as tent envy? Just asking, because I think I have it. What an amazing tent.
😂 it’s definitely a lovely tent.
I trust Blue gave his seal of approval...
I think so😂
That looks like a cracking bit of kit Al, i'm guessing it is at least a 2 kidney purchase (possibly leaning to 3!) but it is real quality and at the end of the day that costs more. Looking forward to seeing it get used
Who needs kidneys when the mountains are calling 😂😂😂
Superb tent Alan been looking at the abisko dome sand colour version but the Keb is a beast I think they have a better inner than hillebergs cheaper too great video pal 👏👏
I agree and the abisko dome will be sufficient for 90% of nights out anyway. Worth it being a kg lighter👌
Nice one!! Been waiting for someone to showcase the fjallraven dome tents. I have the Abisko dome 2 and absolutely love it but find it difficult to put up in wet and windy conditions (prob just impatience 🤷♂️)
Can’t wait to see you using this up on them there fells but can’t see it becoming a regular on your trips due to weight?
I think I’ll use it from my kayak alone but will use it with Nicola or a mate on a mountain. Might have to make a sled 😬
@@BUSHMANandBLUE like you said, the space is amazing. The abisko version is a kilo lighter and I don’t mind carrying the weight for the added comfort but then I am 6ft 4. It’s a bit like the Allak 2 I guess?
Yes the three pole dome tent is a common design and definitely works well. It would fit you in too at that height👌
Looks very similar to my Hilleberg Allak 2
