Clever way to crossing the tent poles in 2 points instead of 1 lika a cross, cool design. It gives more stability in windy days. Also your montage level is so high!
This is an excellent tent. Although it is a 3 season tent I have been out in some pretty terrible weather in it without suffering. In very wet conditions the footprint is essential. The inner only pitch kit also allows you to pitch without the flysheet as just a bug net or under a tarp. All in all the best thought out tent I have ever used.
@@joekelly9369 Yes a warmer weather tent because it’s got a full mesh inner however it deals with bad UK weather. extremely well and I have slept out all year in some challenging weather and never had a problem. A good bag and mat and I have been down to -10 and out in amber storm warnings no problem.
@@joekelly9369 I have owned Vangos. They are very good value for money. But this is a far superior tent. Every single component is better quality. But you buy what you can afford don’t you. The key is getting outside and enjoying yourself any buying kit that works for you, within your budget.
Clean up on the tent is the best. No sweeping. I need a new 2 person. Mine is a few years old and needs a little touch up. I noticed no rain fly per say? The gear loft feature on mine is great. I put all kinds of stuff up top. Great place to camp and sleep. Enjoy.
Don't know how I missed this! Just got 2 tents, a Marmot and Poler, and waiting on a North Face one (I have issues). Very interesting that this tent still uses sleeves/tunnels for the poles and not clips. I don't think I've seen that in years. I'm confused by guy lines. Do they just pull the extra parts tight?
there was a big trend in industry to clips… it seems easier (less threading through a long sleeve) and saves on material (lighter). But then if you spend time looking at expedition/four season tents such as Hilleberg or Fjellraven… you will notice long sleeves for poles are a lot more common. I think this is by design to spread the load more evenly across the tent surface area for better resilience and support to high wind or snow loads for four season conditions. Many of those longer sleeves allow the use of double poles as well for use in insane wind conditions… including this tent. There is an Abisko pole kit available to double the pole support within those long sleeves. God knows who would actually do that… but it’s a sign of a tent that’s built for durability
@@markfletcher9791 nice input, I think that's also a clear distinction between mostly mesh tents that use a rain fly and traditional polyester construction tents. Maybe that's the difference between 3-season and all-year tents? I've been playing around with both of mine (The North Face has been delayed, again) and they're fun to sit in as glorified mosquito nets, then throw in the rain fly to block the sun. It doesn't ever rain in Southern California. ☠️
@@PaulHo I ended up going for the View. It’s a surprisingly rare animal that seems to have decent robustness of a four season-ish exterior, but the mesh interior goodness of a friendly warm weather summer tent. most four season tents have far less mesh in the interior, and opt for solid panels to retain some heat (making them too warm for summer use)… while summer tents have the desirable mesh and ventilation capability but have questionable external durability in strong wind/storms. I don’t think the View is the best summer tent (there are lighter options) and it isn’t the best four season tent (others are far more bombshelter/heavier)… but this strikes a good ratio for me for the Nordic and Scotland summers I intend to use it in
Som vanligt en härlig video.. Hoppas att alla som följer dig förstår att du gör detta för att du är intresserad av alla olika produkter som finns, och att du försöker hjälpa andra att hitta rätt. Och att du inte tjänar något på att rekommendera en produkt. Stolt över dig 🤠❤
Trevligt som vanligt Ted och tack. Fantastiskt väder och plats för en övernattning, så jag undrar var ni är någonstans. Dalarna, Jämtland eller kanske Hälsingland? Har säkert helt fetfel Hahaha. Men grym video och dina skills när det kommer till video är riktigt grymma.. Keep it up!
Tackar! :) nu vill jag nästan låta dig gissa lite till! Lite som På Spåret kanske.. men ja, vi befinner oss i Kolmården och även i trossbonäs på vägen hem då! :)
Hej, ingenting jag tänkt på, kör ju denna mest på sommaren när det oftast är fint väder så allting torkar väldigt snabbt ifall det skulle komma en regnskur
I can attest to the design of this tent. I've been using a very similar one since 2011 and has been in multiple conditions in Australia, Solomon Islands, and Canada. The full bug mesh is the best, worth buying just for that, and then of course the ventilation. One thing that is missing on mine (Mozzie Dome, made by OZTrail Australia), is the guide lines (handy for that type of material which tends to sag when the tempature/climate, changes) and extra vestibule space for my backpack. Ted, have you had a chance to put that tunnel tent you had through any tests? in terms of durability and functionality? Thanks for all the reviews!
Hey Zack! Thanks for your input! If you’re referring to the Keb endurance 3 I hadn’t gotten a chance to use it more yet, I’d like to put it through it’s paces when the conditions get a bit more “test worthy” if you know what I mean, but it’s in the plans! :) a quick summary so far is that it’s a good and stable tent, plenty of living space in the vestibule, I’d if I where two people I’d go for a 3 person tent for the extra room. Hope that’s helps for now!
@@TedWeirum we have those abisko 3 season baga and pads that are r value 7.3. Cant really decide which tent to buy. The abisko view or abisko dome! We will mainly camp in lapland and lofoten so im scared that the view is a bit too much oriented for summers. Meaning that the meshes will let all the air through?
@@TedWeirum Ya, but I want to get the Abisko Endurance 3 in blue for Annika and our Northern Sweden/Finland hikes next year. That tent is like a palace and lighter than the Keb Endurance 3. :) I'm REALLY wanting to try the Abisko Lite 3.
@@TedWeirum Yes.... so much lighter than the Domes or Endurances.... I am not sure which one to take on our Kungsladen hike (now next year)... Thoughts?
I’d like to try the lite 2 and make a review, on paper it seems like the ultimate tent, for you is go with the 3 person, let me know if you get a chance to try it!
This one is good for two without a doubt, plenty of space for gear on each side of the vestibules, of course it’s down to how much gear you bring with you! :)

In most Scandinavian tents the rain fly is integrated with the inner tent, it shows in the beginning of the review :)

The are used to stabilize the tent too like normal :)

can you sleep in it in 0c nights?
@IceManFinland sure, of course other factors like sleeping bag, sleeping mat and base layers will affect the outcome

@IceManFinland good point, if you’re mostly going for winter hikes I’d go with the dome
hi Ted how are you all ,like the look of tent and how adaptable it is thanks for demo take care my friend
All good here mate, how about you? :)
All good here mate, how about you? :)
Ok thanks👍🏻
5:42 is the Weight from 2700/2350g right? In the shop it shows me a Weight of 3030g. Greetings.
Can you send me a link to where you saw that weight?
Hej! Jag har ett likadant tält och undrar vilken sida du skulle vända mot vinden vid stark vind. En av absiderna eller en av kortsidorna?
100% Kortsidan :)
Hahaha You were right!!!! It was your next one!!! Mine soon... I got green though. Nice vid as usual!!! Your editing is so good!!!!
Told you brother! ;) yeah, I actually think that I’d go with the green one too, nice to be able to blend in a bit better if one would like to! :)
@@TedWeirum Ya, but I want to get the Abisko Endurance 3 in blue for Annika and our Northern Sweden/Finland hikes next year. That tent is like a palace and lighter than the Keb Endurance 3. :)
I'm REALLY wanting to try the Abisko Lite 3.
I think you’re on to something there, I’m working on getting my hands on a Abisko lite 2, that’s a super versatile tent!
@@TedWeirum Yes.... so much lighter than the Domes or Endurances.... I am not sure which one to take on our Kungsladen hike (now next year)... Thoughts?
I’d like to try the lite 2 and make a review, on paper it seems like the ultimate tent, for you is go with the 3 person, let me know if you get a chance to try it!
It’s a wonderful tent - what’s your thoughts on using it as a one person tent?
Yeah, totally! Lots of room! Of course it all depends on the adventure :)
all 2 man tents are one man plus gear ..
This one is good for two without a doubt, plenty of space for gear on each side of the vestibules, of course it’s down to how much gear you bring with you! :)
Snygg presentation 👍🌲🇸🇪
Tack! :)
Vad har du för byxor i videon? Sjukt snygga.
Det måste vara jag som gör byxorna.. ;) nejdå, detta är keb byxan, gjorde en video om dom för nått år sen! Riktigt bra byxa för ett liv i naturen! :)
looks huuuuge whats the actual weight
it should say in the video! 2700 grams! :)
@@TedWeirum is that the view ? sounds loud like being in a crisp bag.. could be the mike ! i like fjall gear but the thin quiet siliconised stuff .
It’s probably the mic, it usually is! ;)
@@TedWeirum thanks buddy , i do like the small 1 man version ,
Me too, haven’t had much experience with it myself but I’ve seen it many times, looks great!
I'd love this tent or a hilleberg
Same here!
Where do you from?
Some say the moon.. on my passport it says Skåne, Sweden. Personally I’m not sure! :)
jesus do you have a license for those guns?
THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT I GOT IN A LOONG TIME! Hahahah 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
@@Paul_Larkin Only the G1000 should be waxed.
