Backpacking & Lightweight Tents-Hilleberg Jannu Tent – Sand

The Hilleberg Jannu was designed to be an alpine climbing and mountaineering tent. Its compact footprint shines in limited-space sites, such as knife-edge ridges and small ledges, and it is very stable, even in high winds. Yet it is also easily light enough for use on long or short trips where low weight is a high priority. So, while the Jannu’s strength and light weight has made it the tent of choice for alpine mountaineers, its excellent snow-loading resistance have made it extremely popular with winter campers, hunters, and high altitude trekkers. Its light weight and self-supporting structure have also attracted many long distance backpackers and paddle tourers. And, since it is quite strong and spacious yet also very light, solo adventurers expecting especially challenging conditions favour the Jannu, as well.

Part of Hilleberg’s Red Label range, these tents are designed for both short and longer trips in generally less demanding conditions in all seasons.

The three poled dome construction with multiple crossing points provide outstanding snow-loading handling capabilities and the freestanding design make it ideal for tough pitching conditions, such a rocky ground and sand. This fully self-supporting dome design requires only the vestibules to be pegged, and the straightforward short sleeve and clip pole system make for quick, easy set up.

Featuring plenty of room for two occupants and their gear, the Jannu is easily light enough for mobile journeys, where you move your camp every day, and a single entrance and vestibule afford easy access and plenty of storage space, but keep the weight very low.

The high bathtub floor keeps out groundwater and full no-see-um mesh on the inner tent door is covered by a zipper adjustable, fabric panel for all-season comfort. Dual guy lines on each pole, with the upper attachment loop designed to wrap around the pole, increases stability in poor conditions and the adjustable roof vent can be closed with a snow-proof panel which is accessible from inside the tent.

Optional Additions – Available Separately
For added protection, an additional tough Footprint can be purchased to help protect the tent’s floor from abrasion and to keep ground moisture from rising in the vestibule. You can purchase an additional Pole Holder Set, which include pole holders that are designed to attached to the corners of the inner, allowing you to pitch this tent without the flysheet.
