Hilleberg Staika Tent Experience

This is my first feedback and opinion of a product.  I have been asked by hundreds of companies to review their products.  I always say "NO".  Why you ask?  Simply because I prefer to keep my website clean from product adverts and any other material.  I only like to share products from the companies that sponsor me along the way.

Hilleberg The Tent Maker has been phenomenal.  Spring of 2015, they provided a Staika tent for half the cost.  This tent was my home for the entire summer during my ride to Alaska.  The tent withstood the wrath of the wind on a moving vessel.  It looked like a parachute but the cords, poles and strengh of the material held it in place.  Winds like that were enough to rip apart any other type of tent - truly amazing!! The videos and photos will share the results.  There were a few nights in Alaska that the weather dipped down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.  I was very comfortable in my tent and never felt cold.  I have so happy with my tent that on the way home from Alaska I stopped at their shop in Redmond Washington to meet everyone.  The faculty and Petra Hilleberg welcomed me with highest honors.  I got a tour of the facility and showed the quality of their amazing tents..... The best part was the kisses the family dog gave me!!

The plan is to invest in their new lightweight 3 season tent called Niak.  It will be release spring 2016.    Stay tuned for highlights of this new tent as it will be my home for the world tour starting 2017......
