Helsport Sarek Superlight 2+ Tent & Shelter › Tents 1.6 kg ★★★★

Good quality

Spacious vestibule and kitchen area, 2-person sleeping compartment, fully vented, and under 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs). Tough enough for strong winds and waterproofed all around. Norwegian quality at its finest. It is suitable for 2 people + a dog, or as pure luxury for solo hikers

I made a transparent shelf holder / attic, and a drying-line for my sleep area.

Tested to its limits

I went for a hike in 15–19 meter per second winds and extreme rain to test this little thing. I had no solid ground to tie down to, and had to use larger rocks to keep the tent in place. The guy lines didn't creep a millimeter (solid locking mechanism on the guy line tighteners). I had to cover the skirt with moss and rocks to keep air from getting under the outer. Rain was coming down sideways and entered through the mesh in the vestibule vent, which can't be properly closed. Water did not enter anywhere else — absolutely no leaks into the sleeping area, but had the wind blown in the other direction (towards the vent at feet end of tent), I'm sure the water would have creeped through the mesh there instead.

Dimensions

365 L x 160 W x 100 H Outer 140-115 W x 220 L x 90 H Inner sleep area 160-90 W x 140 L x 100 H Vestibule

One minor flaw

Mosquitoes and no-see-ums can't penetrate the mesh window to enter the sleeping area, but flies and larger flying insects that do get into the vestibule can't seem to get out again. The highest point of the tent has no escape hatch for them, and while trying to get out, they just enter an infinite buzz-bump-buzz routine that is quite annoying. This could have been easily remedied, fully or partially, by a vent option or expandable door option at the highest point inside the vestibule
