For snow-free hunts, or for any warm weather backcountry trip, the Hilleberg Anaris is a compelling choice. A two-person ridge tent, it pitches with trekking poles or by suspending its ridge ends and offers a generous 28 ft2 interior area, a lofty 41" inner tent height, and two spacious vestibules. Both front and back inner tent walls are all mesh for full-time airflow, and the outer tent is Hilleberg’s very light Kerlon 1000 outer tent fabric, which has an impressive 17.5 lb. tear strength. At just 3 lbs. 1 oz., the remarkably strong Anaris is roomy for two or a lightweight luxury mansion for one. Like all Hilleberg tents, the Anaris has linked inner and outer tents that allow for either simultaneous pitching or separate use. In addition, both vestibule doors can be fully rolled to the side for more venting and views, and either one or both outer tent side walls can be rolled away for maximum comfort customization.
“There are tons of great tent companies out there, and one that truly never disappoints is Hilleberg. They are second to none in the game of quality, and their all-new Anaris tent is no exception. It’s an airy two-man ridge tent that was inspired by their very first model and reengineered to be the ultimate warm weather backpacking tent. Unlike other tents in its class, the Anaris is actually big enough for two people, meaning this 3 lb. tent is all you’ll need to bring when you and your buddy head out on that September elk hunt you’ve been dreaming about. Just don’t forget your trekking poles because you’ll need them to hold this tent up. The floor is thick, the zippers are smooth, and the vestibules have plenty of space for your gear. This is a well-thought-out tent that will give you a shelter worth getting excited about.” – Brady Harang, Media Producer
