Description

  The ideal 4-person base camp tent, built for the harshest conditions

  Because of both its tremendous strength and its spaciousness, the Hilleberg Saitaris has a remarkably broad range of use. Those needing the ultimate base camp tent – such as mountaineers tackling remote, high altitude climbs – and expedition travelers to the most demanding environments will find its strength and its excellent space to weight ratio invaluable. Ski tourers and paddle tourers alike will value both its roomy interior and its gear-swallowing vestibules, as well as its easy-to-pitch, self-supporting structure. These same users will also find the Saitaris’ attributes perfect for less formidable adventures, such as leisurely family camping trips to the beach or the mountains, or for car camping.

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