TGO Magazine in the UK has a first impressions review, by Chris Townsend, of the Anjan. His conclusions were that, because of the height of the fly, it was really best for sheltered conditions. I was fairly set on getting one of these as a three man family tent , but will now probably have to consider other options.
Jul 22, 2012 at 7:48 am #1896638I am not surprised but realistically, most 3 season shelters are best for sheltered conditions. But then instead of a Hilleberg, an UL model probably makes more sense such as the TT Hogback, etc. In more exposed conditions, I would go with one of Hilleberg's 4 season shelters for the extra strength. What about a Nallo 3?
Jul 22, 2012 at 2:22 pm #1896686Ask Jaakko about it http://korpijaakko.wordpress.com/2012/05/28/hilleberg-anjan-3-first-impression/ seems ok looking at his photos.
Jul 22, 2012 at 5:01 pm #1896719Thanks Martin I have seen Jaakko's post and like you think it looked pretty OK. However, David could have been reading my thoughts. For the weight and cost I was hoping for more. My expectations, however, may have been unrealistic:).
Jul 22, 2012 at 5:34 pm #1896724Two common complaints from them Brits :
1) the fly does not hug the ground
2) too much condensation (from my ground hugging fly…)
Can't win.
Anyway I was nice and dry yesterday morning inside my non ground hugging fly , the guys inside their bombproof ground hugging tent had to split up (one slept in the nearby hut) because of condensation inside their tent. (not a Hilly but a similar tunnel design )

I may be in touch about a Startospire 2,as a possible option.
Jul 22, 2012 at 6:18 pm #1896733well I don't get it…
You can open up (at least a bit ) most tents and get some air flow yet most are reluctant to do so.
Just like the guys that are dripping with sweat and then blame their Tex jackets because they don't "breathe" forgetting they are wearing 4 layers under it…
