Whats your experience with fjällräven? Mine is good quality, design is hit or miss, and it's overpriced.

My friend is about to buy Fjällräven akka 3. ($600+)

There has got to be a lot better and/or cheaper tents right? Needs to be available here in Sweden.

Swedish tents seem to be expensive as fuck eh. Are hileberg any cheaper over there than they are here? They've very very pricey here but I'd have one as a money-no-object tent in a heartbeat.

>>616750
>notably the Kanken
my gf has one and is such a douche about it.

Great when on sale. I'd never pay retail.
Their wool hat/balaclava is one of my favourite /out/ items.

Can't you go to IKEA and buy a whole shed with lights and solar panels in Sweden?

I have a fjällräven jacket, it's good to be honest, hidden wallet pocket and good breast pockets. Arms can be zipped off. It was a gift, I would never pay for it.

Oh the horror, such a bad and expensive bag.

Nope still exrememly expensive. This guy is loaded enough, but there has to be some cheaper alternatives that are as good. I can't believe it costs this much to make these tents.

Hidden costs, anon. When you get into top tier equipment like Arc'teryx, Fjällräven, TNF Summit Series and other premium brand names, when you buy there product you are essentially paying for the product + the R&D that went into it + the lifetime warranty + the "free" shipping (if applicable) and whatever else they throw into it to warrant the price they ask.

That's why it's always in your best interest to snag top stuff during fire sales or buy it lightly used, because your awesome:dollar ratio goes up. I bought my VE25 above and new from The North Face for a little over $300 shipped. I bought a The North Face Inferno -29C sleeping bag from them for around the same price shipped. Not to brag, but I'm just trying to emphasize a few key points when buying a high dollar item. If you pay retail, you're a sucker.

Hi, same price range, what's better about you?

>>616803
R&D is part of the product cost in my mind, shipping is like $5 value. I don't give much for warranty either. Warranty covers only production errors, and is only 3 years(for fjällräven, here).

I absolutely get what you are saying though, getting the highest end stuff for cheap is nice and much better than paying full price.

I like the look / style of their products but I always find something better to buy for their price range.

A lot of high-end stuff is also made in countries where you can't legally pay workers $5 a week.

That cost does get passed on to the customer.

Sure, but that's an argument for that there should be cheaper alternatives that are just as good.

Besides, fjällräven has production in a lot of Asian countries. Dunno where they make the tents though,.

Nordisk are another scandi brand tent worth a look. I'm assuming your local tents might be reasonably priced but it doesn't look that way so far to be honest.

If you're not buying a local type try some of our british tents. Force10, Terra Nova, and Lightwave make some good shit that will be suited to your environment.

Since I'm thinking in price/performance terms, no, scandinavian producers is not what I'm looking for. No, they don't give us a discount for being their brothers, so it's as overpriced as for you or worse.
I'm looking for recommendations for tents that are as good but cheaper.

Have a look at those others I mentioned then.... Though they may be a little more expensive over there as we generally do get the brotherly discount.

When the Fjällräven shill stops check out Norrona if you want expensive scandi stuff of quality.

I wrote it, so yeah. The materials aren't very expensive, the creation is not especially labor intensive. If you have some proof, like a BoM with prices, go ahead and post.

>>617515
Not really,I really want to get to the best price/performance tents.
To draw a parallel to something I understand very well. My friend is about to buy the $1000 128GB iphone of tents. I'm asking, what is the $450 LG G4 with $50 128GB SD card and extended batteries?

Bang for the buck would be a stack of blue tarps, rope, and roofing nails. Given the patience, you could build a palace for the price of one of these tents.

as said >>618586 Bergans, half to a third of the price of a Hilleberg, 90% of the quality. It is Norwegian if you can live with that.

Excellent, thank you! "Bergans Compact 3-Person Tent" Seems to be the same as fjällräven akka 3, but half the price and 1kg lighter! Exactly what I'm looking for.

Never heard of them, but I'm not Skandi. I just bought a Bergans Jacket once, because I got an odd long tall size, and that Norwegian cut just fits me. At the same occasion I bought a Compact Light 2, because it was 50% off. Best buy ever, that little tenty is just awesome, it excels in wet weather and storm conditions.

Can be problematic if you hike in the Fjell, vid related, and thats a bright sunny day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlZO0xdddB4
