Product description
The Soulo is a completely free standing solo tent that is both remarkably light and expedition-ready. An expedition ready solo tent that is both remarkably strong and light. Fully free standing, with an integrated vestibule.
Since the Soulo's Free standing construction allows it to be pitched almost anywhere, and since it is remarkably light and tremendously strong, it is ideal for almost any adventure. During its development, nearly every tester found it perfect for whatever trip it was used on. Mountaineers, both recreational and professional, will take to its strength and low weight, as will backcountry hunters and winter campers. Bicycle, motorcycle and paddle tourers will choose it for its free standing simplicity and compact packed size. Backpackers in all seasons, long distance trekkers, and weekend hikers alike will be drawn to its light weight and integrated vestibule, and ski tourers and ski mountaineers will appreciate its snow load handling. Tall users will love its length, and all will appreciate its remarkable overall roominess.
Minimum Weight: 2.0 kg
Packed Weight: 2.4 kg
Outer tent fabric: Kerlon 1200
Poles (9 mm): 2 x 344, 1 x 285 cm
Pegs: 12 V-Peg

- Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9mm poles make for a very lightweight yet supremely stable tent.
- All season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjustable fabric panels.
- Dome construction with multiple pole crossing points provide outstanding snow-load handling capability.
- Plenty of room for one occupant and his or her gear.
- Linked but seperable inner and outer tent for simultaneous pitching.
- Fully free standing dome design requires no pegs for pitching, and the straightforward short sleeve and clip pole system make for quick, easy set up.
- The single entrance/single vestibule configuration affords easy access as well as storage space.
- An optional footprint covers the entire area of the outer tent, including the vestibules. It connects directly to the tent, and can be left attached during pitching.
- The inner tent can be replaced with a Mesh Inner tent.
- The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires optional pole holders.
The approximate size of the packed product or the sales package is 530 x 180 x 180 mm.

I purchased 2 Soulo tents. The ventilation zip on both tents leaked which caused wet camping gear in the porch and inner tent. If there is both wind and rain, the ventilation system does not seem well designed as water is drawn under the top cover, through the non waterproof zip and into the tent. In windy conditions without rain, the tent seems brilliant - “bombproof”! I am now waiting for 5 days for Varuste to reply to my warranty email so that I can start the return process. Hilleberg customer service seems quick and they are happy to look at the faulty zips, but I can’t post direct to them and need to wait for Varuste to reply. I did a lot of research on this tent, it was nearly a good purchase, but a mountain tent costing £900 tent needs a ventilation system that does not leak…. waterproof zips and/or a gutter system that channels water away over the ventilation area is needed
Superbe service from Varuste as with my previous orders. The tent itself has so many positive revues everywhere that i have nothing to add really. Expensive, yes but a lasting investment surely and something one will use for a long time in all weather conditions except perhaps a cyclone..... Fully satisfied, thanks....

Communication with Varuste super, no problems. The tent Hilleberg Soulo will be used and tested in January. However, the quality of processing looks primarily.

A wonderful solo tent which is of great quality and very easy to use. I highly recommend it for 4 season wild camping in the UK. I also added a footprint and extra 10mm x 285mm pole.

Very good, very expensive but very good, its stable, strong and spacious. I had an akto before and it was horrible, so cramped compared to this, the Soulo is in a different class, plenty of head room and a lot less "flappy" in the wind, worth every penny over the akto. I considered the BL version before buying the RL version, the prices are so close its really down to weight, for me the RL is already more tent than i need for UK and Ireland so the extra weight for the BL version wasn't worth it. Good tent and recommended for rougher and colder conditions, its a bit warm for summer use, a little more ventilation would make it more useful for year round use, even just insect netting in the outer door top vent would help and improve its use as a single skin shelter if used without the inner tent.
