HILLEBERG SOULO BL £840

The Soulo, a longstanding, freestanding tent, has been given a 4-season makeover. The basic design remains the same but the materials have been upgraded to tough Kerlon 1800 outer tent fabric, 10mm poles, heavier duty zippers and hardened aluminum ‘Y pegs’ that you can hammer into frozen ground. All this for just 400g more than its 3-season sibling.

VERDICT An absolutely bombproof solo tent, good any time of the year anywhere in the country.
