Backpacking & Lightweight Tents-Hilleberg Saivo 3 Tent – Red

The Hilleberg Saivo is well-suited to a wide array of adventures. It is the quintessential tent for those, such as climbers and ski mountaineers in isolated, high-mountain terrain, who will leave their base camp unattended for extended periods of time. At the same time, its strength and space to weight ratio also make it a superb choice for expedition use in demanding conditions. Ski and paddle tourers, as well as desert travellers, have long appreciated the Saivo’s spacious interior and roomy vestibules, as well as its self-supporting structure and easy-to-pitch design. Of course, all these attributes also make the Saivo a great choice for less demanding trips, as well, whether that’s a weekend of car camping or a leisurely, week-long, base camp-oriented hiking vacation in the mountains.

Part of Hilleberg’s Black Label range, this tent is designed to handle any terrain or weather conditions, from the mildest to the most demanding.

The dome construction with multiple pole crossing points provides outstanding snow-load handling capability. The self-supporting dome design requires only the vestibules to be pegged, and the innovative full sleeve plus sleeve and clip pole system make for quick, easy set up. This self-supporting dome design also only required the vestibules to be pegged, and the straight forwards short sleeve and clip pole system makes for quick, easy set up.

Dual entrances and vestibules ensure that one door can always be situated out of the wind and offer flexible entry/exit and storage options. The adjustable roof vent can be closed with a snow-proof panel, and is accessible from inside the tent, while the separate vent cover protects open vents from snow and rain. For all season use, the outer tent walls extend to the ground, mesh areas are backed with adjustable fabric panels and the high bathtub floor keeps out groundwater. Full no-see-um mesh on the inner tent door is covered by a zipper adjustable fabric panel for all-season comfort, and four integrated stowage pockets helps to keep you organised.

Guyline attachments on the poles are designed to wrap around the pole or pole crossing points for load baring, and additional loops on the vent cover and side help to increase stability in poor conditions.

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.
