The Nallo GT’s low weight is a result of both excellent design and fabric technology. Straighter side walls afford maximum usable space, while the higher front/lower rear pole configuration puts greater volume up front while reducing weight at the same time. The Nallo’s ground sheet and Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabrics are supremely light, yet still amazingly strong. The Kerlon 1200’s tear strength of 12 kg/26 lbs is not only considerably stronger than most other lightweight tent fabrics, but it is also stronger that many “standard” or “heavy duty” tent fabrics, as well. The Nallo GT is simplicity itself to set up. Its three poles and full pole sleeves are easy to handle, and the longer pole and corresponding sleeve are colour-coded for foolproof pitching. Four pegs are sufficient to stake out the tent in most conditions, but should things turn stormy, there is a plethora of pegging points around the tent for increased stability. Staying comfortable while riding out the storm is no problem, either. By opening the vent in the vestibule entrance panel and pegging the foot end with the attached short guy lines (which raises the outer off the ground), you can create a cross draft, minimizing condensation build up. In addition, the inner tent entrance is backed with mesh for even more flow-through. For 2005, we’ve added more venting options. Now you can roll up the outer at the foot end, which, along with a fabric-backed mesh vent on the back wall, further maximizes air flow. Hilleberg is often asked which is the “better” tent, the Nallo GT or the Nammatj GT. While the weight difference is fairly small and while the Nallo GT is more than sturdy enough for winter use, for longer winter trips, especially in very harsh conditions, they favour the Nammatj. Its stronger fabric, greater number of guy lines and larger vents offer a more storm-proof shelter. De Kompass travel magazine awarded the Nallo GT "Overall Test Winner" in 2004. In 2003, the readers of the leading German magazine Outdoor voted the Nallo 2 GT “Gear of the Year”
