Thanks pal, first of many! Just a shame couldn’t do as much filming on the hike. Since ordered a new Go Pro so hopefully more footage whatever the conditions in the future.

@Good Bloke Outdoors Your footage is refreshing. Keep on keepn on 🙏

I am so glad you have this tent. From the wild and windy videos I have watched using the hilleberg for such weather, you are bound to be way safer in high winds and rain and snow. Your safety must always be number one no matter what. Thank you. Xx

Thats epic that mate! Would love a converted van, but unless I get a really new 1 i’ll get stung for ££ when entering the ‘’clean air zone’’ in Bradford.

You could easily spend 150 a night in a hotel. I think this justifies the investment. You did well to source this so fast. I either need to pay now and wait until end of May. Or hope somewhere in Europe gets stock. I’m after the sand coloured BL too :)

Thats so true, yeah as soon as I decided I wanted a Soulo BL in sand i quickly realised nowhere has them in stock. I even messaged Hilleberg but they said none will be arriving in UK for at least another month or 2.. I was then told about a french company that sells them so managed to get the last Soulo BL in sand that they had.

Hilleberg Soulo has one major design flaw; It only has one single ventilation point and that is located on the top of the tent. The problem is that in rainweather in combination with strong winds the water will drip from the roof and the movement of the outer tent (caused by the wind) will spray the water everywhere inside the tent leaving your gear wet. One single ventilation point also means that you get no proper air-flow through the tent, which is maybe good if there is -20degrees celsius outside and snowstorm, but not so good in any normal conditions as it inevitably leads to condensation. And condensation IS a problem for both Hilleberg Soulo and the Allak.

I'd takea tunnel any day due to the bigger porch. wouild be bit nervous cooking so close to the flysheet. With regard to using the ceiling vent to get rid of Co2, Co2 is heavier than air.

Recently got a Soulo BL, love it. Only downside is condensation. Unlike my Akto, the foot of sleeping bag touches the inner (akto has 1 foot to spare) making it damp which is not a big deal. When no wind, have had water droplets dripping onto my sleeping bag from the inner, even with the mesh panel open aswell as the outer vent, but then again not a big deal. The Soulo has alot more inner room than the akto making getting chnged alot easier, the porch though smnaller is adequate, plenty of room for cooking, not as small as it appears on videos. My akto is super strong with 2x10mm poles, but the Soulo is stronger. Will get a 2nd 10mm pole for the side when they become available to eliminate the weakness of the Soulo, the side.

Awesome tent, great vid m8. Love my Soulo RL, only been out in it twice. Next one in few weeks 🏕
