Wanting reviews and on Hilleberg Anjan 2 GT

[Jjamesdean]

Hey guys i'm almost sold on getting a Hilleberg Anjan 2 GT. Anyone have any experience with one? Wanting to know: How well did it fit in your bag and was it worth the weight to carry miles everyday, how necessary is the footprint, how did it do in bad weather, how well did it fit 2 guys, and how easy was it to set up and take down? Intended use is for archery elk. So pretty much the month of September.
Appreciate any advice or input. Also if you have pictures of one set up in the woods please do share!! Thanks again -James

I've been running mine (normal not the GT) for 3 years now and it's by far the best tent I've owned. The fit is no issues for me. I have a DT1 bag and with 5 days of gear I am able to fit everything inside the bag. Definitely worth the weight to carry. I've been in some insane weather with it and glad I had it. Unless you are ok spooning with your partner, I wouldn't recommend 2 guys in that tent at all. 1 and gear is perfect. Takes a minute to setup. Super easy

Awesome thanks Ryan. Can't believe I missed the sticky on top of the thread. Thanks! Anyone else have real world experience? Are these worth the extra coin?

Talk to 1 shot gear when you buy it. They gave my buddy a great deal

Yeah that's who I'm planning to buy from! Since it's more than I'm used to spending just wanting to make sure it's exactly what I want. Thanks though

Definitely use the footprint. Its not much extra weight, but it does provide good protection for the bottom of the tent. Hillebergs are a serious investment - why risk it?

 

[Jjamesdean]

Ok I will most likely also get the footprint! Thanks.

They've got an absolute bomber floor, something like 80D......if you're worried at all about weight, I wouldn't worry too much about packing a footprint, kick some sticks/large rocks out of the way and you'd typically be good to go.

I am a little worried about weight. Last year I only carried a tarp and my pack was plenty heavy.

Ref weight have a look at a app called checking brick it let's you create lists of all your gear you can put the weights in attach photos of your gear dates of purchase etc then you click what you are taking and adds all of it up
