Hilleberg Nallo 2

How much it adds to your pack. This is the whole tent: two people sharing can split it. 4: A bit below average.

Hilleberg's minimum weight is 2.0 kg (fly, inner and poles only), in the 2.0-2.69 kg band. Complete with pegs and bags it is 2.4 kg. Two people sharing carry about 1.0 to 1.2 kg each.

How well it keeps out heavy, long rain. 8: Clearly better than most.

Hilleberg's handbook gives Kerlon 1200 (the Nallo's fly) as 5,000 mm HH (ISO 811), in the 3,000 mm+ band, and the floor as 15,000 mm, so no point is taken off. Some reviews and shop pages say 10,000 mm for the fly; the maker's own 2026/2027 handbook says 5,000 mm, so we use that. Either figure gives a 5. The printed figure alone gives 8 at most: a 9 or 10 needs 3 reviews that say it stays dry in real storms.

How steady it stays in strong wind on open ground. 8: Clearly better than most.

Most reviewers rate it very strong in wind, as long as it is pitched end-on to the wind and pegged and guyed out properly. Live for the Outdoors held firm on a windy, wet Scottish hillside in February and called it rock solid; Walkhighlands found the Nallo 2 GT stable in high winds unless pitched side-on; Wilderness found it reassuring in a windy night on the tops. Two sources give it a 3: the 2015 Treeline Backpacker review of the older design found it strong but buffeted and noisy in side winds, and WildCamping.Life says it handles powerful winds but untested in snow. Sidewalls sag when wet and need re-tensioning. Evidence supports 4, not 5.

Reviewers disagree on this.

Room to lie, sit up and keep kit inside. 6: A bit better than average.

Hilleberg gives 2.6 m² inner area for two people: 2.6 / 2 = 1.3 m² each, in the 1.15-1.34 band. Inner height is 100 cm and the inner is about 220 cm long (Live for the Outdoors and shop listings; the handbook gives the figure only in a diagram, so it isn't used).

How much room it takes in your rucksack. 4: A bit below average.

Hilleberg's packed size is 48 x 17 cm: 3.1416 x 8.5 x 8.5 x 48 = 10,895 cm³, so 10.9 L, in the 10-14.9 L band. This is with the poles and pegs rolled inside; packing the tent and poles separately makes it smaller.
