Makers of great quality tents. Will last forever if you look after them. I now have two different models of hilleberg. Not the cheapest but worth the investment.

With two summer nights of user experience met my expectations. For longer hikes, the low weight of the tent is appreciated. By opening / lifting the tailgates, as well as all the other ventilation flaps from the tent, you get perfect sleeping conditions on warm summer nights. There is enough space for a person 190 cm tall, but for those who are taller, the space becomes cramped. Absidi quite meager in size for two people's equipment.

Excellent tent and versatile features. Setting up the tent is quick and it can withstand the wind. After one rainy night, with the outer and inner tents in contact, water got inside the inner tent. I guess the moisture could have been prevented by tightening the tent fabric better during the erection phase.
Really high quality and light tent. Nallo 2 works great as a Single Spirit accommodation. After all, it is a bit heavier than Akto, but correspondingly, there is actually a lot more space available - downright princely. Yes, there are certainly two of them sleeping in it, but two 70-100 liter backpacks are not very easy to get. If both the wife and the dog go on a hike, then the tent will change to the Nallo 3 GT model, which has a lot more space with a proper abs.
My Nallo 2 tent is a “newer” model with a zippered rear hem (unlike my much older Nallo 3 GT tent). I think the ventilation is working quite well now and condensation will not be a problem as long as the flaps are kept open. Positioning the tent in the wind direction naturally significantly improves air circulation. Contrary to what was suggested in some of the previous comments, the tent cover does not let water through even if it is touched from the inside. For myself, the backpack or shoes have often been abused at night against the fabric of the tent, but have remained completely dry despite the heavy rain. In the case of the commentator, I would guess the condensation water accumulated on the inner surface of the outer fabric of the tent in question, which is easily formed in a windless weather.
Nallo 2 is very fast to stack and unload. This feature can be appreciated especially in rainy weather. Storm resistance is really good as long as you anchor your tent using all the wedges. There are no actual snowdrifts in Nallo, but the fabric still extends to the ground, making the tent also suitable for winter use (unlike Anjan). In winter, however, it is a good idea to put snow on the edges of the tent to prevent blizzard snow from blowing under the edges.
My tent is still like new, even though it is already many years old and has seen largely over 20 trips. My shortest trips have been for a week, but most often closer to two. The tent has mainly been used all year round in Lapland, but also to some extent on summer trips to Lake Saimaa. This type of accommodation is a big expense, but if you want a real top tent that can withstand both the storms of Lapland and the tooth of time, and is also moderately lighter to carry compared to its performance, then Nallo 2 is definitely a great choice. I have not regretted my purchase for a day.
