New Enan was modeled after award-winning, best-selling Akto, with the goal of making a three season version that was as light as possible while still having the strength we require from a Hilleberg tent. We knew that we could have made the Enan even lighter, but we also knew that doing so would yield less than “true Hilleberg” durability and function.
We used the Akto’s proven single pole design and its single-ended full pole sleeve system, then reduced weight by using lighter, Kerlon 1000 in the outer tent and a very light inner tent fabric. At the same time, we kept the same 9 mm DAC NSL pole the Akto uses, because the weight savings of a smaller diameter pole is quite negligible, while the loss in strength is significant.
As with our other Yellow Label tents, the Enan’s venting system is built into its construction: a full mesh inner tent door, in combination with outer tent head and foot ends of tough mesh both allows and encourages constant air flow. For very windy and rainy conditions, Kerlon 1000 fabric panels can be rolled down and secured to cover the outer tent’s mesh ends. When not in use, these panels roll up and stuff into integrated pockets.
During development, our testers used the Enan for everything from adventure travel in Southeast Asia, to backpacking trips in Europe and the US. All praised how easy it was to pitch, its roominess and its comfort, and all were quite impressed with its strength – and, of course, with its very pleasing light weight!

Having done a few bike rides with my Brompton and Hilleberg Rogen in recent years and having been impressed by the comfort and quality of the Rogen, I was looking for a slightly lighter tent for multi-day hikes. The Enan is irresistible to boot!
But since I didn't get it until December due to the well-known delivery problems, I was only able to test it in the garden at first.
but what should I say? As expected, top quality, ingeniously simple assembly, plenty of space and a large vestibule that would even fit my Brompton and luggage.
Retirement will soon be calling and will finally have time to go on long-distance hikes with the Enan in addition to cycling with the Rogen. And I'm sure that I'll be just as enthusiastic about the Enan!
Thanks also for the nice email traffic, which came about due to the delivery delays.

Excellent for one person. Guaranteed Hilleberg quality. Although small, strangely enough there is room. The erection takes a few minutes. Tip: first test a flat spot on the sleeping pad, stand up on the sleeping pad, pull the pad off when the tent is up and you don’t have a lump under your back.

Light, but the first erection took that I got the tent tight. The autumn air produced so much moisture that in the morning the moisture condensed into drops on the tent fabric and the drops dripped from the ceiling. Less than 170 cm for a woman suitable for sitting high, except in the morning, when the "wet" outer fabric soaked the sleeper and belongings inside.
