Four-season and expedition tent review
Helsport’s Svalbard High 3 Camp was awarded “Best tent for long winter expeditions”
In their test of 4-season and expedition tents, Norwegian men’s magazine Vi Menn awarded Helsport’s Svalbard High 3 Camp “Best tent for long winter expeditions”
Here’s what the test panel say about Svalbard:
- A mix between dome- and tunnel tent, gives a solid and very stable tent
- Stable and solid
- Storm flaps and good ventilation
- Large vestibule
- In our opinion, one of the best tents for long winter trips in extreme weather conditions
- If we were looking for a pure winter tent, this would be our favourite
How the tents are tested:
- Most of the tents have been with the test team on short or long trips, over the course of a whole year
- All of the tents have had a minimum of 25 testing days, on both snow and dry surfaces
- The test team (all of them experienced hikers) made their individual observations on each tent, before gathering together to evaluate the details and materials carefully together as a team
- Tent measurements (weight, dimensions) were done by the test team, and can differ from suppliers’ information
