Spacious and stable dome tent with two generous vestibules. A lightweight and comfortable trekking tent for four-season use, in all conditions except the most exposed. Two entrances simplify tent life, making it easier to keep organised inside the tent and you can use the lee-side entrance in windy weather. There is also plenty of space for equipment, cooking and activities when the weather is bad. The inner tent and flysheet are raised together. The three-pole construction makes the tent self supporting and easy to pitch anywhere – use the guylines to anchor it in place and make it totally stable in the wind. The pole sleeves are colour coded for simplicity and dimensioned so you can use double poles (an accessory) in exposed conditions. The tent has a comfortable sitting height and a good area for socialising. There is a detachable mesh shelf in the inner tent and several mesh pockets for storing gear.
Large entrances with extra-fine mosquito netting allow you to admire the view from your sleeping bag without the intrusion of insects. Closable ventilation openings at different heights give the best possible airflow. This, together with the possibility of fastening the outer door in a half-open position, makes the tent an excellent choice in tropical climates. The flysheet is made from Fjällräven’s new high-performance TripleRip nylon and an innovative construction that combines two different fabric weights – 20 denier in the top part and 40 denier at the bottom where abrasion is most intensive – giving excellent strength despite low weight. Just like all of Fjällräven’s tents, Abisko Dome 3 is made entirely without PVC plastic and toxic flame retardants, and its impregnation is fluorocarbon free.

Top product. Withstands rains and storms. Easy to set up in the rain, because the outside is already closed on the inside. The tent also breathes well.
I bought this tent because of the volume. On fishing trips, it is important to be able to shelter from the rain to prepare food, and this can be done very well in the spacious apse. Since there are two apses, it is easy to dry things or store wet equipment on the other side.
This is my second Fjällräven tent. The other is a smaller tunnel model, but this also works if you have a friend with you. There is enough space for two fishermen.

Works summers and winters in the forest and in the summer also in the open hills. Pricey, but high-quality and spacious for two people. Quick to set up together, but also easy to do alone. The apses are very large also in the height direction, you can cook in rain or windy weather even if the rinka is in the apse. Got the nickname excursion hotel in its own use.

Tent successfully used in Svalbard in July/August 2021, the dome easily resisting up to 7 Beaufort winds. Pins enforced by stones and wood from beach. Spaceous and no problems with condensation although this may be due to low temperatures (3-7 degrees centigrade) and windy conditions. I consider buying a set of extra poles but the three tubes system is wel designed. Two door system comfortable and enough space for luggage on both entries. Not much flapping sounds in high winds. Light-weight tent fabrics seem vulnerable but (at least with intact coatings) proved strong enough and still flexible.
