Hi Mark. Absolutely itching to get out in this tent come the better weather. The difference in quality between this beauty and some cheaper tents of a similar design has been highlighted in some recent videos I've watched. Frankly I don't regret a penny of my investment. When you think of the extra cost spread over the length of time Hillebergs last it pales into insignificance really. Like yourself I can't relate to people who say this tent is difficult to pitch. Once you get the four corners pegged you can't really go wrong can you. Getting it nice and taught, I've found, is just a matter of having the four corner guys angled in a straight line with the opposite apex. Having spent most of my time in coffin tents I absolutely adore the space and headroom in this. I'm the wrong side of 65 now and only started using two trekking poles recently (previously I had used one); so it's come at just the right time since the extra pole is no longer extra weight. Anyway I just thought I'd let you know all this trivia, being that it was your videos that played a large part in finally convincing me to invest in this tent. Take care.
Hi Frederick, I'm really glad you're happy with it. I love mine and I totally get where you're coming from regarding tunnel tents. The space inside the Anaris is perfect for me. Weather permitting I'm planning to use mine in a few weeks, I just can't bring myself to put it away and wait for the Spring.
Great review! I was going to get one of these but it's been out of stock for months. I think you're right that it could probably cope with "mild" winter conditions or wild camping in the garden. For proper winter wild camping, I'll stick with my Soulo. Hope you're recovering now.
Cheers, Andrew and thanks for watching, it's much appreciated. I'm yet to use it due to Lockdown but will do as soon as I am allowed. So looking forward to it. I have a feeling I'm going to be very surprised how stable it really is.
Hi Mark, it's a great tent and one I considered before buying my Notch which I continue to be happy with . Like the notch you can have all the doors rolled back one thing I really enjoyed in the summer as you get great veiws through the night. ATB.
Bought one a couple of months ago and haven't had chance to try it yet due to circumstances beyond my control. For a 2 person tent with that much room, I consider 1.4 kilos to be definitely lightweight! Thanks for the review.
Same here, I haven't had the opportunity to use mine in anger yet. Hopefully soon though when I come out of Tier 3, My first impressions are that its a lot stronger than I may give it credit for. I'm with you on the weight, I think its a lot of tent for 1.4kg, can't wait to get out. Thank you for watching, its much appreciated.
Interesting and informative video Mark. I don’t camp yet but I’m thinking of giving it a go next spring so I’ve found myself watching videos like this one. Hope your health picks up soon 🙏
Cheers Simon, much appreciated. Its a cracking tent, absolutely loads of space, I can comfortably sit up straight and some so it saves wear on my old tired back. The quality is superb. Thanks for watching, much appreciated.
Interesting point about the pitching time, same negativity about the lanshan one pro but I found it really easy. Just had a look at the cost of one of these! Incredible, tent for life I bet. I hope you get well soon mate and get out there soon
Good video Mark , I thought about the Anaris but opted for the MLD Trailstar instead for a change .. I have a few Hillebergs though , best tents out there IMO . Nice to see the Anaris mate .. cheers Stevie
Cheers mate. The Anaris is right up my street, I had looked at other lightweight walking pole tents but most of what I saw lacked the quality I wanted. Flimsy zips, poor seams etc so I bit the bullet and forked out for the Anaris. I don’t have any regrets at all. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it. 👍
Tent looks like a palace Mark but I think the same about my Akto, I'm sure it'll be perfect for when and where you're hoping to use it and look forward to those videos when you're recovered. ATB Dan
Hi mate I like the look of that tent and 1.6 k isn’t too heavy either, like you say ideal for spring/summer but I would be inclined to use it in all seasons just drop the poles down a bit and the tent should reach the grass 👌👍 also dropped you a sub, ATB Mark & Simon
Cheers, much appreciated. I thought about this tent for a long while and as a saw the availability drop I decided to go with it, plus I got a cracking discount on from Taunton Leisure using my Defence Discount Card. The quality is superb as you'd expect from Hilleberg which makes up for the weight. Its 1.4Kg not 1.6kg so its lighter than you think. I have tried pitching it to the ground and its fine, the only thing is that it reduces the headroom a bit. I will use it during the winter I reckon. Absolutely no regrets buying it. Thanks for the Sub, I subbed you back although I do watch all your vids.
@@QuakerJones268 even lighter then mate happy days, Hiieberg are quality tents although I don’t own one yet, they are like rocking horse doo da lol I would love a Soulo but they sell out quick 👍
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors My son has a Soulo and he loves it but its too cramped for me, I like space inside, particularly in winter when I spend a long time inside the tent. I have the Nallo 2 for winter, absolutely love it.
Great vid thankyou, i got the nallo 2 gt and love it to bits, but wanted something lighter for proper backpacking on dartmoor, funny me and my mate was talking about this one just the just the night why i was in the nallo and hes in the soulo , like you said super hot days be perfect to have i think, and we’re the same 1.4 is super light to us lol, so ditto, so you reckon its worth it over the nallo 2ft for backpacking?
Yeah definitely, it would be perfect for backpacking. I will still drag my Nallo out in winter though but for a solid 3 season tent, the Anaris is bang on. I have used it a few times now since I posted this video and its by far my favourite tent. I absolutely love it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, its really appreciated.
@@dellunn7026 Taunton Leisure had some a few days ago and if you have the Defense Discount card or a Blue Light Card they will give you a 15% discount.
I do love my Hilleberg Soulo, but I also have a lanshan2 that's got more room and is less than half the weight. If you like this design of tent (duplex like) but don't have the budget for a Hilleberg take a look at the lanshan2 - it's a great tent for the money. Would I swap my cheep Chinese thing for another Hilleberg? Yes.
Really interesting Jen. I’ve got a Soulo but not searching for a lightweight 2 season tent. Thought about the Lanchan 1 but heard it wasn’t long (I’m 6’3”). If the L2 is really recommended I may consider it..
Keep looking at this tent but I think if I invest in a hilleberg it's got to be for all weather's for me 😁 still thinking about the Lanshan for uk spring summer 👍 atb.
Yeah I get where you're coming from. It's a big investment. I already have a Nallo 2 but fancied this for Spring/summer and I got a big discount. Thanks for watching, much appreciated 👍
Looks quite different from the other Hilleberg range. Plenty of venting and inside space - shouldn't have any condensation problems. 1.4kg is nothing. Look forward to seeing it used in anger. Cheers 👍
I'm itching to use it, I was going to wait until the spring but if the opportunity arises I'll use it before. It's a very roomy tent and it's superb quality. Thanks for watching, much appreciated 👍

Great video. Looks like a very capable tent.
I think you'll like it. 👍
Beautiful looking tent mate, very inspiring to see one of these. Take care pal

I have used it on a woodland camp (see my video) and I used it on Kinder Scout over the weekend. I absolutely love it. It's a cracking tent.
@@QuakerJones268 thanks I'll look at the other video
