Niak

$925.00

Description

　　Strong, ultralight, and versatile 2 person tent

　　Ideal for two people who want to go as light as possible, the Niak is also a veritable lightweight palace for one person. Its dimensions accommodate two people, but its single door and lengthwise vestibule make it somewhat less accessible than Hilleberg's other two person models, so the Hilleberg Niak is especially good for a parent and a child, or for one person and a dog. It is also the perfect three-season solo tent when you want to be as comfortable as possible at a low weight. The Niak’s outer tent is made from Hilleberg's lightest weight Kerlon 1000 fabric, and it is supported by the same DAC NSL 9 mm poles used in our Red and other Yellow Label models. Its simple, two pole design is quick to pitch and very stable, and the single vestibule can be completely rolled away to maximize air flow through the full mesh inner tent door. In addition, catenary curves along the bottom edges of the outer tent create space that both allows for constant air flow and also ensures that the outer tent is stretched properly for optimal performance.

　　Prior to its introduction, the Hilleberg Niak 2 person tent went through well over 250 backcountry nights of use in all types of weather, all over the world. Two person users appreciated its light weight, and solo users loved that it offered such roomy luxury at such a surprisingly low weight. All proclaimed it as an outstanding choice for any summer or warm weather trip.

　　A note on colors: Fabric dyes have natural variations, so the actual tent color may look slightly different from what is pictured here.

How to use your legs properly while you swim

Three easy ways to accelerate your swim progress

Two simple questions to ask yourself to improve your swim skills

　　Progress in sport comes step-by-step. It takes a long time, and the only way to get there is one stroke at a time, one revolution at a time, and one stride at a time. There’s a lot of repetition, and that’s certainly true of swimming. 　　The problem is that it’s easy to go on autopilot, and when you do, you’re...

Beginner's guide to off-road biking

　　Off-road riding isn’t for everyone. You’re going to get muddy (in the UK, at least), you’re going to crash regularly when starting out (at least the landing is generally softer than on the road!) and you’re going to need some new kit to get the most from your rides. The benefits are myriad, though. 　　You can explore the countryside in...

Why fatigue is great for learning swim skills

　　We’re usually taught that skills are best learned when we’re completely fresh, with little to no fatigue. While there is certainly value in taking that approach, it doesn’t mean that you should only work on skills when you’re feeling good. 　　In fact, working on your skills specifically when you’re tired can actually improve your skills, rather them make them worse....

Simple steps to write a great swim workout

　　Writing a workout can seem like a daunting task.It doesn’t have to be. Here are some simple steps that you can use to start writing workouts that get the job done. 　　Create clear goals 　　The biggest mistake triathletes make is creating workouts that are too complicated and too unfocused.You want to make sure you have a simple, crystal-clear goal that...

How to train for your first 3.8km swim

How to use a swim leg band correctly

　　For those looking to improve their swimming, in particular the skill and fitness of their pull, a swim leg band, which goes around the ankles, can be an attractive strategy. 　　It makes perfect sense, too – take away the legs and stress the arms.While simple in concept, it’s actually an advanced training strategy, and swimming well with a band is...

Two more ways to challenge your swim drills

　　A good drill can make a big difference in helping you improve your skills.But to continue to keep learning, you have to continue to perform novel activities. 　　You’re not going to keeping learning by repeating a drill you’re already familiar with, so you need to create a new challenge. 　　However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to change the drills...

When to use two swim drills in the same set

　　All drills have advantages, and all drills have disadvantages. Rather than accepting this reality, we can overcome it by using multiple drills at the same time to retain the advantages, while eliminating the disadvantages. 　　In this article, I’ll show you three ways to make it happen. 　　Sensory and movement drills 　　Sensory drills can be really useful for helping you feel...

The drill combination that will improve your catch

　　Improving the catch in freestyle can be difficult to do.And unfortunately, it’s an important skill to master because without an effective catch, it’s very difficult to create an effective pull. 　　Because it’s important, and because it’s difficult, we want to use the most effective strategies to create positive change, and sometimes, that means using multiple strategies in combination. 　　I’m going...

What is a good swim cadence and how can I increase mine?

　　Swim cadence (and run cadence) are very much the same as bike cadence in that you’re measuring the number of times your arms complete strokes. 　　The difference with swimming from cycling is that you count every individual stroke as opposed to full revolution. 　　Cadence is one of two variables in the swim speed equation, along with stroke length.
