I totally agree with you: the Unna is my absolute favourite too! I have slept over 150 nights in it and still think it is the very best tent (for me). Thanks for your beautiful video.
Great video mate! I don’t think people realise the amount of time / effort and creativity it takes to make this sort of content smashin video this la just bought a hilleberg unna myself it’s incredible I’m absolutely made up with it 👌🏼🙌🏻⛺️
Hi there, I've just got myself the Unna and absolutely love it. I'm the wrong side of 65 now and have some mobility issues; hence I've been looking for a tent with a large area of internal space and ample head room. Compared to the Soulo and Akto the Unna seems like a palace. Only used it a couple of times so far but I'm thrilled with it. The One Tigress bathtub ground sheet fits under it perfectly so I'm planning on possibly using it as a single skin shelter in the warmer months. That should reduce the weight to around three and a half pounds I reckon. Hilleberg don't do themselves any favours by saying it's got no vestibule. That put me off originally. It was only after watching the review by Tom Heaney I changed my mind. Pleased I did. Its It's a great tent. Very underrated and misunderstood in my opinion. Thanks for a great video. Best wishes and take care.
Hi thanks for posting. I’m looking at the Unna at the moment. Do you see any short comings for the Unna? A friend of mine is suggesting the Hillberg 1.7kg is the way to go due to lighter weight? Could I get ur thoughts on if weight /size of Unna is an issue for you at all?
@@tanjuhassan3836 Hi, when you say the Hilleberg 1.7 is that the Niak you are referring to? The Niak is a very similar design to the Unna but from the yellow label series; designed for three season snow free use in relatively sheltered locations. If I didn't have some mobility issues I would probably have stuck with the Soulo. I love the Unna because of the extra space it offers. I've upgraded to 10 mm poles and added a couple of extra guy lines. This makes it an exceptionally strong four season shelter and you can even double pole it using the original 9 mm poles if you want even more protection. Hilleberg do offer a dedicated mesh inner for summertime use. However it is both very expensive and currently very difficult to obtain. Trekkertent, a UK based cottage manufacturer, make a tent called the Saor. Apparently the mesh inner for the Saor will fit the Unna after a few minor shock cord adjustments to the internal connecting loops. This reduces the overall weight significantly and makes the Unna a very practical summertime shelter. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask me anything else. Best wishes.
@@frederickridall628 My mistake I meant the Hillberg Enan as the way to go. He’s a guide with nearly 30 years experience. Has taken the Enan into snow as well. Mentions that due to shorter fly condensation is less of an issue and any short fall in being slightly cooler can be made up in sleeping bag quality, mat & thermals quality. Many thanks for ur reply, cheers from Tasmania/ Australia P.s first time viewer, enjoyed ur review!
Good to see you back and in the Cheviots. It's quite a nice pitch up there, I did it last year after Mark Cameron did a video there. When you said you were meeting Mark, I thought it might have been him.😊Hope your chest clears up soon.👍
0nly just watched this Geordie.......i bought an Unna a couple of months ago and i have only had it out on 6 nights so far but it has been 100% condensation free on each occasion which is something that i have only ever experienced with the Lightwave Sigma S15 before. I have owned 4 different Hillys before this and the only negative is that it doesnt pitch as quickly as the others , especially the Nammatj and the Nallo that go up super quickly but i have got quicker with each pitch. I use the middle guy line on the bottom middle metal ring too so that it lifts the sides up and allows more airflow but i was wondering if i have just been lucky not having any condensation so far or is that a thing. The space between the Fly and inner is much roomier than all the other hills so is it that ? Either way i am really enjoying it and i can see me using this a lot unless its high summer and mild weather.
I've been put off the Unna by the lack of a porch. I like to be able to cook in the porch in bad weather. I know you can drop the corner of the vestibule but that seems a bit of a faff. Still, it's a nice looking tent. Thanks for showing it off for us!
I have Unna and cook in the porch. No need to unhook anything, just pull the edge of the inner towards you six inches to create an 18” gap between inner and outer. There’s good height over it. I put a boot to right and left of the centre point to keep the inner in place while I cook, with a water bottle in each boot to weigh them down.
The unna looks like a quality tent mate, looks solid and quite a bit space, especially for one 👌, I’ve finally got round to getting myself a soulo, looking forward to take it up the cheviots, as you know, nine times out of ten it’s either windy or raining up there 🤣, spot on mate, atb Mick 👍
Give me a few ideas for a new sleeping system the ether light does look comfortable as to the pillows 😃....p.s I never found the cave near simonside a foot of snow ❄ decided to land 😂...cheers all the best marra
Nice camp. I've never been there via that route before, I need to try it. Lovely views over the coast too. Last time I was there the farmers son went by on his quad with a 'date- on the back lol.
Had quite a few hillebergs, what turns me off about the unna is lack of a porch and the side looks like it would be vulnerable to strong side winds acting like a sail.
Hello mate, new sub here. I've been properly researching tents for the first time and the Unna has stood out for its speedy setup and spacious inner while being able to cope with high winds. If you know of any others that can compete in all those areas then please let me know! The Soulo tent from this brand looks superb but I'm looking to shave every minute I can off the pitching time for frequent/daily usage. I like your style and looking forward to catching some nice views on your channel.
Hey! thans for subbing. In terms of the Unna I would suggest upgrading to 10mm poles for those really high winds. Its not going to be as strong as the soulo nor is it meant to be. For me it has a certain va va voom compared to other tents ive used. Ive owned this and the soulo and both are very quick to setup. I think you may be better opting for the one that best suits your weather scenario? summer in the soulo is torture!
@@thegeordiewildcamper Thanks appreciate that, yep got the 10mm pole upgrade on the list together with the pricey mesh inner for hotter weather. From what I can gather the 10mm poles (or even double poled) should be good for 50 mph winds. FYI since my post I've been looking more closely at the Nammatj 2 - equally quick setup, more space and strength, and the added expense and weight is a good trade off for my purposes.
@@andrewvickers4487 I’ve got Unna and 10mm but have just bought a second hand Soulo 😂. Unna is a treat to be in (watch the stars without getting out of bed; you can sleep from either end; getting in and out is a dream with bottom zipper closed creates a taut step-inside space) BUT putting it up in wind is problematic. Ok once it’s secure (though upwind fabric can get pushed against the inner) but at the point when the first pole goes into its cup and the pole arches into the sky the tent is vulnerable and no real way to avoid that unfortunately. So I’ll see how I like Soulo…
Yeah mate, I thought id use it alot more than I did. Its over 3kg and if I was going with Jess id tend not to head out in bad weather and reach for another tent (alpkit viso 2). brilliant tent just too much weight for what I need. Unna is more versatile and just looks great!
Unna owners love them. Very seldom get people knocking them either so they must be hitting a real sweet spot? How you finding it mate? Hope your illness has been battered into submission too 🙂 Adge

Thanks Luke really appreciate the kind words. Yeah it’s a bit of an art to get it right! Unna is quite literally my favourite tent!

Class mate, than unna is a bit of kit mind!! Lush! Love the red!
Cheers Mark mate let’s get our next one sorted..

It’s got a really character about it tbh. Yeah vestibule is an issue but I’ve used it without the inner and it’s amazing
I have Unna and cook in the porch. No need to unhook anything, just pull the edge of the inner towards you six inches to create an 18” gap between inner and outer. There’s good height over it. I put a boot to right and left of the centre point to keep the inner in place while I cook, with a water bottle in each boot to weigh them down.
can also use one or two extra pegs to keep the inner pulled in and kept in place for the additional vestibule space you need
The unna looks like a quality tent mate, looks solid and quite a bit space, especially for one 👌, I’ve finally got round to getting myself a soulo, looking forward to take it up the cheviots, as you know, nine times out of ten it’s either windy or raining up there 🤣, spot on mate, atb Mick 👍
spot on mate, youll not be dissapointed with the soulo best all round 1 man shelter in my eyes. yeah give me a shout if your out and about
@@thegeordiewildcamper 👍

No dates up here this time Kerry 🤣 loads of the wet stuff. It’s a bit of a slog that way tbh next time I’m going from Harthope 🤣
@@thegeordiewildcamper hah much easier tbf :😉
Yeah nice tent there brother.
I do love it mind 🤣
Had quite a few hillebergs, what turns me off about the unna is lack of a porch and the side looks like it would be vulnerable to strong side winds acting like a sail.
its not pretending to be a soulo but have found it excellent and much more spacious. My favourite tent ever.
I was just wondering what orange fleece that you wear is.
I enjoy the videos
Cheers
This is a Rab fleece. Sorry not sure on the model 😞

Great video mate, love the Cheviots. Why did you go for the women's version of your mat? Any particular reason?
I thought Jess would end up using it aswell plus it is a tad lighter than the standard plus Wide. Cheers for watching
Cracking video mate
Thanks mate appreciate it!
@@thegeordiewildcamper no worries my pal met you the other week bought something off you hopefully you like or videos
Great video mate, Unna looks well. Can I ask what made you get rid of your Allak? Cheers mate atb. 🏕️

Tip when you setting up your tent tie it to your backpack just in case it gets blown away
Ah I know, i took a new pack and didnt stick my carabineer on it!!
@@thegeordiewildcamper just tie the guy line to the pack thats what i do …it works fine
@@Bikepacking yeah after I realised I just couldn’t be bothered to move the camera/pack again 🤣
Thanks for your video, i.just want to know about yours pants, what model and brand Is It!?
im not sure on the model tbh but they are mountain equipment
How do you find the condensation in the Unna? Just picked up a second hand one and looking forward to getting out there with it
No issues just vent it well 👍
Great vid again mate. Been watching you for a while under another name but subbed you again on this one 😜 Keep up the good work 💪💪
Thank you mate that’s very kind!
Is it better than the soulo. Am torn between the 2
Both different tents. Soulo is the stronger of the two
10 seconds of fame woohoo! 😂 class video
Top man! Some of the footage was awful mate next time 👍
Unna owners love them. Very seldom get people knocking them either so they must be hitting a real sweet spot? How you finding it mate?
