A quick tour of Hilleberg's tent factory

Designing a great tent is one thing, but manufacturing it is another. The hub of our production process is our own Estonian facility, where we sew, set up, inspect, and approve the tents before they are shipped. In this video Petra Hilleberg takes you on a quick tour of our main tent factory in Rapla Estonia.

I’m on my third Hilleberg tent now, I am addicted to them. The quality is absolutely outstanding, second to none.

As the former factory and main branch manager of a specialised protective clothing manufacturer, I am extremely impressed with every facet of your production process.

Your Quality Control Inspection is unequalled and I am particularly impressed that each Specialist Professional Seamstress is personally responsible for constructing each complete tent to which they attach their name.

The only other company I know of to do this is Aston Martin, whose Engineers attach a nameplate to each engine that they have individually built.

I am also a former Motorcycle Mechanic and ran my own Motorcycle Workshop so I appreciate the pride of each of those Engineers, likewise your Specialist Professional Seamstresses.

You've made me decide on a Hilleberg tent. Your factory and quality control are amazing.

I have an ancient Stalon tunnel tent of 1986 - and still use it. Apart from some minor things all is well. Used it in heavy snow and storms in the Alps for a very long period. Its absolutely worth the money. Thanks Petra & the entire crew!

[phillipferreira]

have two - basically a winter and a 3 season tent - Absolutly love them. Learned a long time ago - pay once, cry once ;) - compared with other brands, the pricing is very competive, that is, if indeed you want a quality tent, and in that regard they are the top tier.

Best tents in the world. My oldest is nearing 20 years of serious use. I wish I owned them all, they are works of art, and so, so well made.

[MrWipex]

.... and that's why I chose Hillberg. If it is possible to fall in love with a tent, then it happened to me. I love my Unna tent! Great many thanks for a priceless tent!

[Braapncamp]

Thanks for the shop visit Petra! Always great to see manufacturing and how employees of a product are taken care of. Your team should be proud. 💪❤

So cool to see the people who made my Nammatj 3 GT that I really love and recommend! Its the best tent for a motorbike nomad like me 🤩 Thanks a lot!🎉🎉🎉

[andreawunderlich]

I'm a huge (and very new) fan of Hilleberg. When I received my Nammatj 2 GT in November, I enjoyed reading the catalog, the stories about the company and tents. I'm starting a YouTube channel about my outdoor activities, and my very first video will be a review and first setup of the tent. One thing I remark on specifically in the video is the name of the seamstress :) It is so nice to see this production in this video, to put faces to these stories that you write about in your catalog. Thank you for the love, thought, and care you put into each and every one of our tents.

Own four now. Probably five soon. Amazing quality. Really phenomenal.

[mtnbknmichigan]

[DavidHeffron]

Great video. You can see why your tents have such a good reputation. It's made me want one even more!

[이상훈-ktg]

Your video really helps me to understand the whole process. Thanks.

[PedalPowerTouring]

we were so close to you when we cycled from Parnu to Tallinn in 2014. Would loved to have stopped by and said hello and thank you for making great stuff to the crew there. Maybe on our next, around the world bike ride. ~Ron & Petra (Florida)

I have two Hilleberg Tarra.
Strong and beautiful in the wind.
This is a perfect tent.
