Hilleberg - Akto Tent
Details

Product Code 71110012

Year after year, this Hilleberg ultra-light solo tent is a favourite among backpackers of all kinds.

The Akto pitches easily in the worst of weather, provides good storage and excellent protection from the elements. Pitching as one, it has a single main pole with four stub end poles for better stability and more interior space. The fly or inner can be used on their own (needs extra pole cups). For a tent of this size the excellent ventilation keeps condensation under control. The waterproof Hilleberg Kerlon 1200 outer fabric has perhaps the best strength to weight ratio available today. Multiple reflectors for maximum visibility, strong and tough guylines, plus zipper flaps to provide extra weather protection and increase the zip's longevity.

The best Reviewed By David, 06 Jun 2013

There may be slightly lighter backpacking tents around these days, but for sheer build quality this has to be the best on the market. Nothing comes close to it! It's the little things that make all the difference: top quality 3mm Dyneema guys, the zips and fasteners, fabric and not forgetting ease of set-up. Most important of all, it is bombproof...a true 4 season tent. Special thanks to Ben at the Preston store for the help and advice. Always good to deal with someone who spends his time on the fells and speaks from practical experience.

Rock solid and like the tardis Reviewed By william, 18 Jan 2012

I am 6ft 2in my buddie is 6ft 6in we both own this tent. The first thing you notice when you first pick it up is the weight you don’t even notice as it is so light. Very easy to put up quickly on “auto pilot” and once up you have a safe haven from the elements. I have always been a bivi bag person I also like being out in all weathers this tent was a massive surprise to me. If you are a solo packer their really are few (if any) better choices. It lasts too! Nothing I hate more than a piece of kit that promises much but fails quickly. This tent lasts I have owned mine for over 5 years now and it shows little signs of age . I use mine for all sorts great for light weight packing (have to light weight now due to ageing knees lol). Also have a top box on the motorbike and this tent fits in easy with sleeping bag cooker and food for a few days. Been out in some big storms with it too and I slept like a baby. The room in them is worth mentioning too of course its a 1 man tent but wow more than enough room for yourself your kit without a strain yes I agree the price tag is high but as ferris bueller said “if you have the means I highly recommend it”.

Still the Best! Reviewed By Alex, 01 Aug 2011

Like many products which have been on the market for a while it would be easy to dismiss the Akto as out of date, however in this case it would be a bad error. I use it in the North and West of Scotland on backpacking / hill bagging expeditions often camping in less than ideal pitches in ever changing weather. I'm also 6ft4ins tall which puts space at a premium especially in wet weather. Nevertheless, in my view the Akto is simply the best available compromise between weight,space,weather resistance and durability. I would reccommend it to anyone.
