Hilleberg Tents

Choosing the right tent with the Hilleberg Label system

THERE REALLY IS NO “BEST” TENT, but there is a “right” tent for you. Choosing that “right tent” is less about what you do on your adventures – climbing, hiking, hunting, sea kayaking, bicycle or motorcycle touring and so on – than it is about determining what your tent needs to be able to do on those adventures. We advocate that you establish when, where, and how you will most often use your tent as well as any specific features or performance attributes that are important to you, and that you assess your general level of experience and confidence in your backcountry skills. With this information, you can then determine the tent (or tents) with the most suitable qualities for your needs. In the end, only you can decide which tent is the right tent for you, but since it will literally be your home in the backcountry, we urge you to choose wisely!

What Is The Hilleberg Label System?

THE HILLEBERG LABEL SYSTEM divides Hilleberg tents in one of four categories, or “Labels,” Black, Red, or Yellow, each representing a performance range based on materials, construction or both. This grouping makes it straightforward to see the differences within our line, and so makes selecting the right Hilleberg tent for you much easier.
