looking for UL 3-4p tent: Hilleberg/Big Agnes/MSR - 04/01/14 05:07 AM
Hello! I am looking for an ultralight tent for a backpacking trip in the mountains of Georgia (Svanetian Mountain Range + possibly Mount Layla, staying in a tent at ~ 3.2k most, a little below 0 C).
I am looking for a lightweight tent for 3 or, better, 4 person for various conditions, including strong wind, rain and some snow.
My main priorities are:
1). Ability to handle snowy conditions
2). Weight
2). Ventilation \ Condensation problems
3). Enough size for 4(3) 80-100 liter backpacks in the vestibule(s)
4). $
After some searching I made the following shortlist:
1). Hilleberg Nallo 4 (ouch, pricey. GT is not an option since it's heavier and it would be harder to find a place for it).
2). Big Agnes Copper Spur UL4 (lighter, somewhat cheaper, haven't found many reviews though. I'm 6.1, maybe fitting four of the same size might be a problem. Also, smaller vestibule than Nalo.)
3). MSR Mutha Hubba 3 HP / 4 NX (Heard it is not so durable, not sure how NX would behave under bad conditions, not sure for the space inside 3 HP - but cheapest)
Any suggestions regarding those 3? Other options are also appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrii
