I know what HH is and the british army use 2000mm as the guide and vango and others often allow 3000mm plus.

Whilst looking I saw this mountain base camp tent for £3500. when I looked it has a HH of 1500mm.

I have seen many new ebay tents with a HH of 1500 and would not consider them on previous advice on HH.

Any ideas on this anomaly.

All the things I have read on this site i wouldnt really consider anything below 2000hh. However this would depend on the time of year you are going and how much yyou plan on using the tent. If yoiu are only going in summer months or when good weather conditions are forecast than 1500hh would show no problems. If you are planning many trips in all seasons then i definately wouldnt go for anything less than 2000.

As for the tent you mention above I am as confused as you and can only think we arent understanding it properly. I have looked up the tent on other sites and it says the same thing 1500 pu. Mind you is a pu the same as hh.
