I have the Soulo and the Tarra. They are simply the best tents i have ever used. I asume you had the inner door fully closed and the mesh door sealed too. Try opening the inner sheet and show the top third mesh. Or on a still night open the full door showing the full mesh. I would imagine you were in the lee of the wind and the trees would hold moisture creating the damp environment you were in. The tent could be slightly less tight on the guy lines giving extra air flow under the top sheet. The reason for the big tent bag is when taking the tent down in horrendous conditions you can just stuff it in the bag quickly and make for shelter. Most other manufacturers make a bag that the tent just fits into. Have you ever tried folding a tent neatly in wind snow and horizontal rain. I absiluitly love my Soulo and Tarra. They are bomb proof in situations where others fail. I have been camping for over thirty five years using other well known brands. I bit the bullet earlier this year and bought the Hillebergs. I can say i wish i did it years ago. I am looking forwar to this winter so i can test them out fully. Positioning is everything with any tent. futher away from the wall would have given better air circulation. It is the best one man tent on the market by far. It is a life saver on the hill. I am not well off and i work hard for what i have. Most of my kit is army surplus or second hand. I put it to you. Would you put crappy remould tyres on your Ferrari. Wondering why you crashed on a fast corner... Hillebergs hold on when others fail.. Yes they are ridiculously expensive but in a 60+ MPH wind you will be thankful of your tent. A reputable tent shop will let you put up hilleberg tents in the shop so as you get the feel for them and give you the time to decide what is best for your needs. Obviously all that i have said is my own personal opinion. My location for the camping arias is the North of Scotland and the Isles. the Soulo and Tarra are simply the best tents out there. One negitive is the Price.

thanks for your reply, i did have the door open it was probably as you say due to where i pitched, ive been away this weekend and it was perfectly fine, the jury is still out for me but im going to carry on using it to try to get used to it, im used to a terra nova quasar to myself so you can imagine the drop in size the plus is its not as heavy to carry and its better than my laser comp

Bombproof tent the Hilleberg soulo. Yes the flysheet goes to the floor and restricts airflow but you can adjust for this with with the vent at the top and opening the inner fly. You may have found having pitched this in a torrential downpour as you said, you will be wet, so once you take a wet rucksack etc into the tent this will also warm up and increase condensation once you are in there. Also I'll assume you cooked inside as it was tipping it down.. more condensation.. I am six foot four and found no problems with getting dressed or sitting up in here. It's not a "family" tent so room will be at a premium. Ive not found a problem getting in or out either . As the other comment says the bag size is so you don't have to struggle to put it away, it doesn't effect eventual pack size in your rucksack.

This is hands down the best "Soulo" tent there is! :). This will be my 2nd Hilleberg Tent next summer. Have the Tarra and a Tarp 5 atm. The soulo comes in at 2,4kg, not bad at all for a 4 season solo tent.

Surely you’ve worked out by now. Adjust the length of the guylines with the line locks. Make them both the same length. Nowt you can do re condensation it’s down to conditions temperature drops moisture arrives. Freezes. Then in the sunrise melts. Wet tent. Mine is 95% always wet with either rain or condensation. Just make sure you dry it when you get home. This tent will never let you down in extremes. It’s kerlon the fabric btw

There are so many variables that determine the condensation people will experience in a tent. Obviously moisture is an issue, but also how much heat and sweat your body is emitting will have a significant impact on the condensation in an enclosed shelter.

You say there is a bit lack of inner space to get changed. Did you consider the Unna? For me, being quite tall too, that is the perfect tent.

Good review. The Soulo (I pronounce it S-O-L-O as in Han Solo) is a quality tent. I’m only 5’10” so I’ve got plenty room and I’ve been lucky with the condensation too. Subbed your channel. Cheers.

dougie does your venting have mesh on? as mine doesnt ive noticed on other reviews that the vent has mesh so hilleberg must have changed it,also ive noticed mine has reflective strips on it above the hilleberg label above the door something ive noticed on other reviews is not there

Craig Barlow If you have the newer dark green version then they have a mesh door with a panel you can zip up to cover the mesh. It allows me to fine tune the ventilation, I rarely get any condensation. Mine has the reflective strips on as well. Used mine four nights on the trot on the Moray Coast Trail.

It's pronounced solo, like Han Solo. If you go to the Hilleberg website they actually include how to pronounce each tent name on that tent's page (top left corner).

Hi Craig, how’s the Soulo going? I see you had sizing and condensation issues here. I’m interested in this tent for competition of the Cape Wrath Trail. Have used it much? How’s the internal size I’m 6ft 2 also. Is the porch big enough? Would love to hear your views

Peter Pohan - If one sets the tent up in a downpour, your outer clothing, and possibly your pack will be quite wet. When one brings all that wet stuff into the tent, that moisture has to go somewhere. So it’s not that much of a surprise that when all that moisture evaporates, the inside of the tent will collect that moisture. But this is not a problem specific to Hilleberg tents. This is a problem with all tents, and one just has to figure out the best solution for your specific tent. Anyway, I have the Hilleberg Soulo myself, and in my mind, it’s bombproof. On the top of a mountain, I can’t think of another one man tent I would trust as much as I trust the Hilleberg Soulo.

There are not two guylines to one peg. There is only one guyline at each corner, each connected to one peg. You might have misunderstood how they work?

craig i think 2.5 kg is a bit heavy for a 1 man tent .? even if it is a 4 season tent ? i know they are great tents .and they can take a good beating but . i would sooner go for an allak .more space . which enables you to stretch out better and relax more but it also comes with a hefty price tag lol atb kev
