<p class="copy end"><span class="leadtext">THE JANNU WAS DESIGNED</span> to be an alpine climbing and mountaineering tent. Its compact footprint shines in limited-space sites, such as knife-edge ridges and small ledges, and it is very stable, even in high winds. Yet it is also easily light enough for use on long or short trips where low weight is a high priority. So, while the Jannu’s strength and light weight has made it the tent of choice for alpine mountaineers, its excellent snow-loading resistance have made it extremely popular with winter campers, hunters, and high altitude trekkers. Its light weight and self-supporting structure have also attracted many long distance backpackers and paddle tourers. And, since it is quite strong and spacious yet also very light, solo adventurers expecting especially challenging conditions favor the Jannu, as well. This is a red label tent.</p>

 \n<p class="nameTag"><i>“Jannu” is a formidable 7710 m/25,295 ft. peak (officially called Kumbhakarna) in the Himalayas.</i></p>

 \n<p style="text-align: center;">USD $1,075</p>

 \n<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Features</strong></p>

 \n<p style="text-align: center;">Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9mm poles make for a very lightweight yet supremely stable tent.

 \nAll season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjustable fabric panels.

 \nDome construction with multiple pole crossing points provide outstanding snow-load handling capability.

 \nA good amount of room for two occupants and their gear.

 \nLinked but seperable inner and outer tent for simultaneous pitching.

 \nSelf-supporting dome design requires only the vestibules to be pegged, and the straightforward short sleeve and clip pole system make for quick, easy set up.

 \nA single entrance and vestibule afford easy access and plenty of storage space, but keep the weight very low.

 \nAn optional footprint covers the entire area of the outer tent, including the vestibules. It connects directly to the tent, and can be left attached during pitching.

 \nThe outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires optional pole holderes (see accessories).</p>

 \n<strong>The story of red label tents</strong>

 \n<p class="copy"><span class="leadtext">OUR RED LABEL MODELS</span> are true all-season tents, yet are still easily light enough for any backpacking trip. They are well-suited for nearly all users, and, unsurprisingly, they have become our most popular tents.</p>

 \n<p class="copy indent">Before we organized our tents into the Label system – introduced in 2012 to make it easier for people to choose the right Hilleberg tent – our now-named “Red Label” models were simply called “Kerlon 1200 tents.” According to Bo Hilleberg, “The Kerlon 1200 tents were made at first for experienced backpackers who were out year ’round.” These tents were distinguished then – as Red Label tents are today – by their lighter weight, Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles, in contrast to our Black Label models, which use stronger Kerlon 1800 in their outer tents and sturdier 10 mm poles.</p>

 \n<p class="copy indent">Quite quickly, however, we discovered that these light yet remarkably strong Red Label tents were ideal for quite a large group of users. “Those just beginning to go into the backcountry get a tent that is reliable and offers great security for bad weather in the summer,” says Bo. “Experienced users often find them a lighter option for some of their trips. And they are quite good for families who are out in more challenging conditions.”</p>

 \n<p class="copy indent">The first “Red Label” tent was the <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/nallo/>">Nallo</a>, introduced in 1987 as a response to those who wanted a 2-person tent similar to our <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/black-label-tents/>">Black Label</a> <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/black-label-tents/nammatj/>">Nammatj</a>, only lighter. This led us on a quest both for new designs and a new fabric that would save even more weight without compromising our rigorous strength standards. That first Nallo spawned a collection – the <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/nallo-2/>">Nallo 2</a>, <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/nallo-3/>">3</a>, and <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/nallo-4/>">4</a> and corresponding <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/nallo-gt/>">extended vestibule GT models</a> – which then led to the newer design we use today. All of the subsequent Red Label tents evolved from that template: lighter fabrics, 9 mm poles, one vent up high, and often using different length poles – all to save weight without compromising true all-season strength.</p>

 \n<p class="copy indent">Since the Nammatj to Nallo concept worked so well, we did the same with <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/black-label-tents/staika/>">Staika</a> to <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/allak-2/>">Allak</a>, and then took it one step further and created a solo version, the <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/soulo/>">Soulo</a>. The <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/black-label-tents/keron/>">Keron</a> collection gave rise to the <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/kaitum/>">Kaitum</a> models. The <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/black-label-tents/saivo/>">Saivo</a> and <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/black-label-tents/tarra/>">Tarra</a> were the inspiration for the <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/jannu/>">Jannu</a>. Both <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/akto/>">Akto</a> and <a class="ui-link" href="<https://hilleberg.com/eng/tent/red-label-tents/unna/>">Unna</a>, however, are “native” Red Label tents in that they were designed not to be Black Label counterparts, but to be exactly what they are: outstanding solo tents for those who go out in all seasons.</p>

 \n<p class="copy indent">We know that the smaller Red Label tents – especially the Jannu and Soulo – are tremendously strong, and that leads some very experienced people to use them, quite successfully, for things which we don’t necessarily recommend Red Label tents. Eric Larsen took an Akto on his attempt to bicycle to the South Pole. Lonnie Dupre used a Soulo in the first winter solo ascent of Denali. And Alexander Barber continues to use the Soulo and Jannu in his solo climbs of the Himalayan 8000 m peaks. We do, however, advise against using Red Label tents for those doing sustained, multi-month journeys – round-the-world bicycle, motorcycle or trekking tours, for example. For these kinds of demanding adventures, we still recommend taking a stronger, more durable Black Label tent.</p>

 \n<p class="copy indent">Such extreme usage aside, Red Label tents are ideal for those who find themselves out in all seasons and all weather, and who want an outstanding balance of light weight, strength, and overall comfort.</p>

IN 1971, BO HILLEBERG, a professional forester, founded his own company, Hilleberg AB. That same year, while on a ski vacation in the Austrian Tyrol, Bo met Renate Neuner. After a couple of years, the two had fallen in love, married, and she had moved with him to Stockholm, Sweden. Their marriage was the final, necessary ingredient in the mix that has become Hilleberg the Tentmaker.

Before Renate, Bo’s fledgling company was primarily a forestry equipment concern, with tent making as a hoped-for sideline. An avid, lifelong outdoorsman, Bo was terminally frustrated with tents that required pitching the inner tent first and then covering it with a loose rain fly that usually displayed the same properties as a kite in the wind. He envisioned a tent that had an outer and inner tent that pitched together, simultaneously – but he didn’t have the necessary sewing skills. With Bo and Renate’s marriage, conjugal and commercial became one: Renate took charge of the sewing while Bo handled design and sales, and with their combined efforts, the company flourished.

Today, family and business are still inextricably linked. Bo is Chairman, and is senior advisor to the product development team; daughter Petra is CEO of the Hilleberg Group, President of both Hilleberg AB in Sweden and Hilleberg Inc in the US; and Bo, Renate, Petra and her brother Rolf make up the governing board of directors – clearly, family synergy continues to beget success.
