MSR Advance Pro 2 and Hilleberg Unna
|
When looking at MSR Advance Pro 2 and Hilleberg Unna, they both look very similar. |
|
One is a 3 pound single wall tent and the other is a 5 pound double wall, so pretty different in those ways. I have the Unna and like it, but actually would prefer the Advance pro for most of my climbing goals. I think the Unna is better for base camp style whereas the AP2 I'm guessing would be better for alpine style pushes where you're carrying your tent up routes. |

What is your opinion about choosing Unna or Advance Pro for Denali West Buttress expedition? Also, how would you compare Hilleberg Soulo and Advance Pro? Soulo has three poles, where Advance Pro only two. Do you feel strength of the Advance would be enough for the wether conditions on Denali? |

I would recommend neither tent for a Denali trip as they are very small and not very enjoyable for waiting out storms. I hope you aren't planning on climbing Denali solo as the lower Kahiltna glacier is very heavily crevassed. |

It's not a solo West Buttress Expedition, I'm just solo in a tent. |

If you're intent on using one of those three, I would get the Unna and upgrade to 10mm poles. It's roomier then the Soulo. The single wall MSR would be silly. |

Jdejace, Thanks for your opnion. Can you explain why you feel MSR would be "silly"? Also, if not looking at "roomier", I would think that MSR and Soulo would be a good fit from elements, not "roomier". |

Same answer as for the Direkt when you asked last year. |
