The Rogen is a summer backpacker’s delight, offering two entrances and vestibules, superb venting and a very light weight: an excellent choice, as seen here, for a fun summer ramble in northern Sweden. Photo: Göran Svensk/Hilleberg Team.
Rogen Details
Inner tent doors are nearly all mesh, providing constant air flow.
Short roof pole provides head room in the vestibule and entrance while keeping the weight low.
Looped guy lines affixed to twin attachments on each side of each pole increase stability in poor conditions.

2 Integrated stowage pockets.
Both vestibules can be completely rolled away to expose the inner tent’s mesh doors for added air flow on hot days.
High bathtub floor keeps out ground water.
J An optional footprint covers only the inner tent area and not the vestibule. It connects directly to the tent, and can be left attached during pitching.
J The inner tent can be replaced with the Rogen Mesh Inner tent (sold separately; see page 76).
J The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires 4 optional pole holders (sold separately; see page 80)..
J Kerlon 1000 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles make for a supremely lightweight tent that is still quite strong.
J 3 season design: ventilation is built into the construc- tion, and the inner tent mesh areas have no backing fabric panels.
J Dome construction with two main crossing poles is an excellent choice for tough pitching conditions.
J The Rogen has a good amount of room for two oc- cupants and their gear.
Rogen awards
Dutch outdoor magazine Op Pad conducted a tent test and named the Rogen Test Winner. “Excellent three-season tent. Easy and quick to set up, even in bad weather. Sophisticated to the last detail and therefore the Test Winner.”

J Linked but separable inner and outer tent for simul- taneous pitching.
J Self-supporting dome design requires only the ves- tibule to be pegged, and the simple full sleeve and tensioner pole system make for quick, easy set up
J Dual entrances and vestibules ensure that one door can always be situated out of the wind and provide flexible entry/exit and storage options.
Utemagasinet, Sweden’s largest outdoor publication, named the Rogen Product of the Year, noting that it is equally well-suited for backpacking, paddle touring and travel use. “There is a lot of function for very little weight.”
