Hi Brian,
Yes I read the reports on here re poor seams etc, some manufacturing errors I can forgive - everyone makes mistakes- but poor customer service after faults have been found with tents this expensive really is unacceptable.
The only other issue with the Nallo 2GT it is that its not free standing, an MSR Mutha Hubba has more internal room (3 persons) and is free standing and at 3.4 kgs not that much more weight, but has no external vestibule room, which I really like on the Hilleberg. Having a free standing tent is a big bonus in Central America, where I often would put the tent up on a covered veranda or under a palapas for bug protection, but the fly was not needed
Ive currently got MSR's Mutha Hubba and Hubba Hubba, a VauDe 4 Season, TNF Pebble, several small Coleman and a few other tents knocking around and Ive got through plenty more over the years so Ive tried quite a few, the Hubba Hubba is probably the tent that gets the most use, its light enough to backpack, has (just) enough room for 2, has 2 doors and 2 reasonable sized vestibules, weighs under 2kgs and solo its more than enough room for me. You can buy a 'gear shed' for it to increase storage space (haven't tried it) - a tarp, as Bertrand says can be more versatile though.
