Our Verdict
The Fjallraven Abisko Friluft 2 is a well-crafted, lightweight tent for backpackers and hikers seeking comfortable shelter for warm-weather adventures. This two-person, three-season tent strikes an impressive balance between weight, durability, and livability.
Weighing in at just 1726g (excluding pegs and bags), the Abisko Friluft 2 is light enough for extended backpacking trips without sacrificing essential features. The freestanding design, utilising a cross-over pole construction, ensures quick and easy setup even on challenging terrain. This structure also provides a spacious interior with ample headroom, which is crucial for comfort during extended stays.
One of the standout features of this tent is its superior ventilation system. Fjallraven has prioritised airflow for warm conditions, incorporating two large entrances with extra-fine mosquito netting. This design allows occupants to enjoy panoramic views and fresh air without the nuisance of insects. The throw-over flysheet adds another versatility; users can use just the inner tent on sweltering and dry nights, maximising breathability.
The materials used in the Abisko Friluft 2 speak to Fjallraven's commitment to quality. The flysheet is crafted from 20D TripleRip Sil/Sil fabric with a 3000mm waterproof rating, offering robust protection against the elements while keeping weight to a minimum. The inner tent combines 15D Ripstop DWR polyamide with 20D polyester mesh, balancing durability with breathability.
The use of DAC NFL poles, known for their strength-to-weight ratio, ensures structural integrity. The 1.7mm reflective Dyneema guylines with double adjustments provide extra stability in windy conditions and enhance visibility around the campsite at night.
Storage and organisation are well-considered in the Abisko Friluft 2's design. Two vestibules offer ample space for gear storage, allowing campers to keep their equipment separate and easily accessible. This feature is particularly valuable for two-person occupancy, providing each user with a storage area.
The tent's dimensions (inner tent: 210 x 128 x 106 cm, outer tent: 226 x 258 x 116 cm) offer a comfortable living space for two people. The peak height of 116 cm means there is plenty of headroom.
