Hilleberg Niak Sand

Expands on our concept of very lightweight yet remarkably strong three-season tents that we introduced with our one-person Enan. 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 comfortable than our other two person models, so the 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.

Features

• 3-season design: the ventilation is built into the construction and the net sections of the inner tent have no fabric hatches to cover them.
• Niak has room for two plus equipment, and is very spacious and comfortable for one person.
• Interconnected, but detachable inner and outer tents for simultaneous set-up.
• Stag ropes with double attachment points on each side of the bar increase stability under demanding conditions.
• 2 integrated storage pockets in the inner tent.
• Rainproof tab over the zipper.
• Highly raised floor edges protects against damp ground.
• The inner tent door is completely made of knot-proof mosquito net.
• You can enter from any side of the entrance, and both sides can be rolled up completely to expose the inner tent’s mosquito net door for the best possible ventilation during hot days.

As with our other Yellow Label models, the Niak’s outer tent is made from our lightest weight Kerlon 1000, 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 – inspired by our Red Label Unna solo tent – 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 Niak went through well over 250 backcountry nights of use, in all types of weather, in Scandinavia and the US, as well as in the Alps and in Scotland. 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.
