Hello,

I want to buy a quality tent with a large vestibule for my girlfriend and I. We make small touring bike trip (2-3 weeks max) every years. I want a "3 persons" tent for more comfort and a large vestibule to be able to cook inside during rainy days.

I was cheking first for a self-supporting tent, like the MSR or Big Agnes. I have a MSR Hubba when I travel alone and I like it. By digging a little on the internet, I then fell into the impressive European tunnel tents, where this type of tent is very popular. And now I have a "fix" on the Hilleberg Nallo 3GT !

By analyzing this tent well, I can see its strengths: solid, very large vestibule, quality materials with very reasonable weight. I wonder, however, whether air can circulate very well ? I'm afraid of being warm on hot nights. The lishtest model (Anjan 3GT) has no vent ! In the same design, the brands Vaude, Robens, Vango, Terra Nova, (all European), etc. make similar tents. The Vaude Ferret XT 3P and the Robens Osprey 3ET have both vent on each end.

As the freestanding tents with large vestibule, I found only the whole new Big Agnes Copper Hotel UL3, the 3 places of which will be available later this spring. Since it has not been tested yet and because it’s a brand new product, I hesitate to trust it. For example, the event on the top of the roof does not inspire confidence: I really feel the rain will get inside by good winds. I also look at the Nemo Losi 3P with which there’s a large vestibule adapted to this model.

I have to choose: a tunnel like the Hilleberg Nallo 3GT or a freestanding ... What do you think? Do you have experience with any of these tent ?

Thank you,
François
