Inside Look: Fjällräven Abisko View 2 Tent 

Totally agree, it's a great tent.

@crowkrow Hi, for two person, it is perfect. We really love this tent. However, the vestibules are not big enough for dogs. Our dog is a Shiba Inu, much smaller than the retriever. In the end, our dog stayed in the car everytime we went camping.

Here's a link to it on our website with the latest price: www.trekitt.co.uk/sleep-shelter/tents/fjallraven-abisko-view-2-person-tent-pine-green__33329?currency=GBP&chosenAttribute=

All three will be absolutely fine for three season use below the treeline, however, the Abisko Lite and Dome are four season rated, so will be able to withstand more severe conditions. Unless you're heading out in the middle of a Scandinavian winter though, all three will be more than tough and weather-resistant enough to cope with some wind and rain thanks to their exceptional build quality. The benefit of the Dome is that it has masses of internal room, plus is the easiest to pitch of the three. The Lite is the lightest and most compact, so arguably the most suitable for backpacking. The View is ideal when you want a little more luxury and may be stationary for a day or two at a time; the fold-back vestibules really are brilliant when you're cooking or just admiring the view. I hope that helps! Kind regards, Harry.

@@trekitt Thanks Harry! I actually decided to get the view. I have my Hilleberg Staika for HARSH end of the world conditions but wanted something lightweight and breathable for hot summer use. I should be arriving any day now. I went with the green color. Please subscribe to my channel is you guys can; I do a lot of FJ reviews as well. :) Thanks!!!! Chuck

Hi Kevin, all the info you require can be found here - www.trekitt.co.uk/sleep-shelter/tent-shelter-accessories/fjallraven-abisko-view-2-footprint__33337

@@trekitt he asked for the weight and your listing on your webpage does not have the weight. What kind of answer is that?

Hi, The Absiko View is essentially a lightweight, warmer weather tent and you are correct to assume that it will be colder inside compared to a tent with solid inner doors. It is not just the doors that are mesh, the entire internal sleeping compartment (excluding the floor) is of a mesh construction so even though the outer will shield out the worst of the wind the inner environment will be very hard to heat up. Instead, I would recommend the MSR Hubba Tour 2, it features a solid internal construction with solid and mesh inner doors, entry front and back, it's cheaper, still sleeps 2, it's only 40grams heavier when you compare the "maximum weights" of the 2 tents and it has a more space. Not only that, the porch has a mesh door to help protect you from any flying, biting bugs that might want to use your tent as shelter from the wind and rain. The Hubba Tour 2 ticks all the boxes for me. www.trekitt.co.uk/33728/products/msr-hubba-tour-2-tent-green.aspx If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask. Kind regards, Will

@@trekitt this is not correct. The inner topside/roof is not mesh. It is terrible when sellers does not know the equipment they sell.

Whilst we don't currently have stock of the View 2, it is still available for sale direct through Fjallraven as well as a number of other retailers. They do have a newer model landing very soon which might also interest you, the Abisko Friluft 2 www.trekitt.co.uk/sleep-shelter/tents/fjallraven-abisko-friluft-2-pine__55490

A worthy investment! It's much easier to replace a damaged groundsheet than a damaged tent floor. Harry

We've got a list of tents to film over the next few weeks, so we'll make sure we add it on!

@@trekitt that would be amazing. I really enjoy your reviews!:)

Hi, although the Fjallraven gear is incredible in terms of durability and overall features, none of their tents are designed for high altitude. A lot are rated 4 season, however this is more Scandinavian Trekking rather than mountaineering. Our recommendation of tents depends on where you're going too. For general mountaineering above snowline, MSR produce two options for you, the Remote and the Access. We don't stock these tents, however they're our best recommendation. Terra Nova also produce a tent called the Quasar which is highly comparable. If you have any further questions, your best bet will be to give our shop a ring (01432 263335) or email sales@trekitt.co.uk, this way we can ask further questions such as where you're going, to what altitude and for how long. Regards, Harry.

For the best tents in the world, from everything from mountaineering to trekking, I'd suggest you take a look at Hilleberg tents. se.hilleberg.com/EN/?language=EN Hopefully that leads you to the English page. Good luck :) Rasmus

Not massively fragile, but as with all lightweight materials you've just got to be careful.

It’s pretty solid to be fair. It is a 3 season tent, not a 4. I am not worried about the fragility of the mesh. It is after all made by one of the best tent manufacturers in the world.
