Backpacking & Lightweight Tents-Hilleberg Tarra Tent – Red

The Hilleberg Tarra offers simplicity, strength, and roominess. It is popular with mountain climbers, ski, or paddle tourers and travellers who take extended trips in remote, rugged locales and with back country walkers, especially those who enjoy travelling in unruly conditions.

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.

Like its “big brother”, the 4 person Saitaris and 3 person Saivo, the Tarra is simple to pitch, makes a fine base camp tent, and it is fully capable of taking on the most challenging weather.

The hybrid tunnel dome shape utilises the usable roominess of a tunnel and the static strength of a dome. The boxy inner with near vertical walls offers plenty of room for 2 occupants and their gear, and the four pole structure boasts five crossing points for exceptional strength and outstanding snow-loading handling capability. 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. For when you want to pitch this tent’s inner by itself in warmer climates. 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.
