Hilleberg Unna vs Hilleberg Suolo
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Місяць тому
Which is best? Which do I prefer? Both the Suolo and the Hilleberg Unna are excellent solo tents built for proper mountain outings winter or summer. Granted, certainly not Ultralight, they are made for everyone else. I use my Unna on most of my motorcycle camping trips as it's small and light (when not packing on my back). In this video I go through the major differences of the tents. If you wa...

Hot coffee on a cold day - Vargo firebox grill 2.0
I have used my Unna for several years. It’s my bikepacking tent which is also my go m-to hiking tent if wind speeds predicted are less than 32kmh. I recently bought a Soulo to see what all the fuss is about (it’s very popular with summit campers in Great Britain). Definitely more stable with the third pole and less flapping, but as a right handed occupant I found it a nuisance cooking in the vestibule and the inverted T shaped zippers on the inner an annoyance (I was always unzipping and securing the material and then zipping closed again). Soulo much easier to set up in strong winds though with its build-from-the-bottom sleeve and clip system. Unna venting is superb with a rollable back wall, and entry is easier with the three zippers on the long curving zip. The Unna offers wide vistas without the need to roll the door. So I much prefer the Unna but will choose the Soulo or Nammatj in windy conditions.
Wonderful review, it answered my questions about the Unna vs Soulo. I've been using my Soulo for 7 years now and it's a wonderful little tent, but it is a tight fit if you're over 1.95cm. Especially during summer, the Soulo is rather hot to stay in. Ventilation and condensation are always an issue, thinking about getting the Unna after your wonderful comparison.
I hate wet shoes
Would you fit a tent in the "pocket" under the pack? How stretchy is it?
Great review! You cover the important parts like comfort while heavy, and accessible pockets while walking and other details. Did you have to cut anything to remove the top cover?
I have slept hundreds of nights in all kind of conditions in the Unna. It kept me dry and comfortable during crazy storms on very exposed spots. I cannot think of any better tent in the world than the Unna, for me it is the perfect tent.
I have both the 20L and 30L Velocitys and I absolutely love them. If Osprey decides to do a 40L, I'll probably be one of the first to buy one. My uses are day hikes and with the stretchy pockets, I can pack my entire hammock camp system with Pomoly table in the 20L at 11lbs with a little room left for food and water. It is an amazing pack.
I was just in Grasmyr and Umea... I should have stopped by. I am having the hardest difficulty in choosing between the Unna and Soulo. The lack of a vestibule with the Unna is making me lean to the Soulo. Thoughts? I have a Staika, but it's too heavy to carry for one person. :( Tack!
Awesome video
Got mine last year and love it, so good!
Look at Nelson Rigg saddle bags, mosko stuff is ridiculously overpriced. I’ll look for that mosquito stuff, had no idea those existed, thanks
What an interesting video!
Hi Kenneth, I always enjoy your gear videos. I just got home from a 3-weeks bikepacking trip in Iceland where I brought a bunch of gear I purchased from your store. Among these a Nordisk Telemark 2.2 tent. The tent have been surprisingly stable in stormy nights and I enjoyed the all in one pitch as I had to build camp in the rain most of the times. But the material absorbs lot of water which is not fun. I woke up few times with wet sleeping bag and face and had to pack a heavier tent. I am considering purchasing a dyneema tent. This one or the unbound or the durston. The mid1 looks nice since it needs only a pole and 4-5 stakes. Do you reckon there's enough space in the vestibule for 2-3 10L bike bags? Is this design storm-worthy or more like a nice weather tent? Do you find the tent to be too translucent for the summer in the north? Thanks!
Soda cans have a plastic liner. Probs not good to heat it. Probs why they’re no longer selling them
What kind of weight load have you carried with this pack?
I have both and I just spent 5 nights in the Unna. I find that I use it more than the Soulo as its just simpler to set up and take down. Thanks for posting Ken!
The Unna is literally the only tent that will give me some cognitive dissonance regarding my Soulo RL, because of the living space. For long distance solo hikes, I've found my living space plenty though. It's certainly not as if your arms don't fit, when lying inside (at 1.88cm)... I somewhat disagree about the ease of set up. That's wholly dependent on wind, and these are tents for adverse conditions. Not your sunny, only slightly breezy summer holidays. Even with gale force, the Soulo is a relatively easy pitch. Now try that with the Unna when setting up the poles and all of a sudden 'controlling a sail'. There is no comparison in 'ease of set up' for any but decent weather.
I just wish hilleberg would let you choose your inner at check out .. i would love the unna for summer but i have to buy the winter inner then I have to buy the mess inner ..
You’re not a business man are you?
@@strickostricko yeah i own 9 business over my life time all very successful all make money .. the point is they lose my money because they dont give choice bad business model . Force people to buy accessories they dont want
@@Bikepacking Yeah, probably right TBF. Hilleberg just upselling, but could well work against them .
The Unna has a small "vestibule" - when you peg out the door guyline the space between inner & outer tents increases to easily take a backpack and boots. It's probably the better choice for the majority of backpackers who mostly camp below treeline in winter. For very exposed areas maybe rather Nammatj 2 than Soulo, the latter also having the worst ventilation.
I've already made my choice. Nowadays it's all about comfort for me. In the past I've used the Soulo and Akto. Much prefer the Unna these days. Plenty of headroom to use a Trekkerchair, the luxury of getting changed without having to contort myself, ease of access and exit. All these things start to matter when you reach a certain age. My storm chasing days are over. The Unna can handle anything I'm likely to encounter. I have upgraded to 10 mm poles and I carry some extra guys but I've never had to use them. Fabulous tent. The lack of vestibule isn't an issue for me. You create an adequate vestibule easily enough. Just remember to secure a guy line to your rucksack when pitching. The thing can take off like a kite..... Take care.
I completely agree with every word you say here.
@@kayasper6081 Nice to hear from a like-minded soul. Wishing you happy adventures.
@@frederickridall628Thank you! The same for you. When I said "with every word" I really meant with every word: I also bought the (Staika-) 10 mm poles, and also attached more guy lines. And the snow/sand stakes and even the mosquito inner tent. Now I can just pack the Unna tailored to tje specific trip, it is really a great tent.
@@kayasper6081 I've never purchased the dedicated mesh inner, but I have on occasion just used the flysheet together with the Six Moons Designs Serenity bug net. The Serenity is slightly too tall and in order to create the bathtub you need to bunch it up at the top with a loop of bungee cord. A bit untidy but it works. Ideal for warm buggy nights in sheltered areas and it does provide a significant weight saving.
I hate to join the chorus of other comments, but it was really tough to hear the review because of the water. I'd love if you would have time to re-shoot this review in a quieter area or with a different mic that catches more of your voice audio.
👂huh? were you saying something? apart from the first half of the audio this is a great review. will definitely be checking out this pack.
Can't hear you 🤷
We can't hear what you are saying! Peaceful water though
Tried this shoes,some hard piece was digging into my ankle creating a hotspot. Wearing them for a few km improved situation a bit but still i could feel it..sent back..
as long as you keep the Swedish business running, we support you ;) So hard to find good shops in Europe.
HI, yes, business in EU will still be running! have a great team here!
Which would you choose between the Exped Thunder 70 and the Osprey Aether Pro 70? You given them both stellar reviews. I would imagine that the Osprey is more comfortable, but the Exped has some more convenience with the mesh pockets and the front loader. I have the Exped lightning 60 but I always find the shoulder straps and waistband uncomfortable, actually I get some bruising from the waistband on long hikes. Cheers 👍
damn i feel old now, I remember you reviewing the first version .. 8 years ago ..
Hi, so what are the updates for this pack? How do shoulder straps perform with heavier weights? Is it easy enough to remove and put back water bottles into side pockets on the go?
This is a very appealing pack given the adjustment and frame. Would you possibly be able to do a comparison video between this latest version and the older version?
I don't actually have the older one anymore. So I don't have access to it unfortunately. The biggest differences are weight and materials
@@Backpackinglightse Thank you for responding so quickly - I've just found your video on the older one so shall refer to both videos to see which version suits best. There don't look to be many videos out there on the new version.
How much do they weigh?
And it took 2 mins to connect the call...dropped carrier first time..thats 1 full minute....another to connect...great idea to have the phone but isn't totally reliable and super expensive.
Did anyone else notice the guy walking on the walk path behind his left shoulder about 16 sec into the video?
what happens with the pack if i load it over 12kg? Will it feel unproportionally heavier or will the fabric tear, or what will be the problem. You didn t meantened the problem
Very odd review and complicating something that doesn’t need doing
What is the coldest temp that you would take the portal 1 down to? Considering if it would be a good fit for early November at tree line hiking in Colorado. Expecting a couple inches of snow and temps in the 7-20 degrees at night.
Unna or niak for winter ? BR
Can the tent deal with heavy snowfall ?
Yes, it certainly can. I own an Unna, and can tell from experience that it is very good in winter, also with a lot of snow.
Great stuff, inspiring. My minipeak xl arrived yesterday, the stove comes next. Thanks for the demo.
I didn't know there was a shop in Umea... still there? where is it? Do you like th Nick better? Can the Niak handle winds say on the Kungsladen? The Allak and Staika are too big and heavy.. :( Thoughts? I'll try to stop by next time i'm in town...I used to live there!
Yes! förrådsvägen 22. Now we have a proper shop with our entire inventory here
My favorite tent. I own the Unna, Soulo red label and the Nammatj 3 GT black label
I just got this backpack and the 1st thing I noticed is how light and thin the fabric is, and that worries me a bit. I fear it would just rip or be caught bit something and rip. I'm even considering returning it for that reason.

That’s a beautiful little stove. I may buy it for that reason alone. I’m sure I’ll enjoy using it, why wouldn’t I? Thanks.
Remove guy lines, cut off the loops.. and then figure out another way to mount it? You have many other good videos with a lot of good information, but this old video is just old :)
We love creating a spoon pocket for ya! Thanks for reviewing!
there is about 300g weight difference between portal1 and portal2, why not choosing portal2??
That stove looks so cute. I just have to have one. Thanks
If you were to purchase a pack, and didn't currently own one, would you go with the Unbound or the Windrider?
really depends.. For me probably the windrider 70 as I do a lot of mixed hiking. Winter, three season, packraft, fishing, hunting and so on. The Winder is a much more versatile pack for that. If however I was just doing hiking and maybe just a tenkara rod or something than I would do the Unbound.
Which TI is the bigger one? Normal? PLUS M? PLUS L?
