Nammatj 3 Tent

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

This is one of the tents Hilleberg has built its reputations on. A tough tent with some of the strongest, most durable materials around it would not be out of place in some of the most inhospitable places on earth. A spacious tunnel tent with quality construction and design features that allow for year-round use.

Hilleberg says:

The Nammatj and Nammatj GT are the masters of both high and low country, equally suited for a high altitude expedition or a weekend walk in the local hills. These robust all-season, all-rounder pitch quickly and easily, can be taken down and moved in a flash, yet are far stronger and lighter than any other tent in their class.

Because of their superb strength to weight ratio and compact footprints, both the Nammatj and Nammatj GT have become immensely popular with extreme users. This includes polar travellers looking to save weight, mountaineers doing remote routes in the highest ranges, professional guides, and military special forces teams. But these same characteristics are just as highly prized by more “regular” users, as well: backpackers, cycle and paddle tourers, and anyone needing maximum strength while reducing weight.

Our Verdict

Hilleberg’s Nammatj 3 Person Tent is a classic four season tent that has been used around the world to provide shelter from some of the worst conditions going. For the 2.9kg weight you are getting a strong, durable tent with plenty of space inside, a good vestibule and nice design features. The tunnel design stands up to winds really well and although not ideal for taking heavy snow loads it will still cope with UK conditions. The all in one pitching is ideal for wet weather and once you’ve got used to putting it up in all conditions it is a fairly easy task. Good vents and a decent space between the inner and outer minimise condensation, but in more humid conditions the fly needs to be rolled up to allow more air through.

This is a Black Label tent from the Hilleberg range which means you are getting the strongest, most durable type of tent they make. It has thick Kerlon 1800 outer fabric and 10mm poles providing amazing levels of strength against the worst weather you’d expect to encounter. There is an obvious weight increase attached to these materials being used, but they are designed to withstand the strongest winds in mountainous and polar environments. This tent may well be overkill for most people’s camping needs, but if you are searching for a tent for winter epics or adventures in some of the harshest environments in the world then it is well worth it.
