Hilleberg – Akto – 1-person Tent

When we first introduced the Akto nearly 20 years ago, we did not know that it would become as popular as it has. Although only slightly heavier than a bivy bag, the Akto offers near-luxury, all-season shelter for the solo traveler – lodging that includes a vestibule and a packed size small enough to fit into a side pocket on many packs. It’s an ideal choice any time you need the lightestweight, all season solo tent, and while it was not designed for extreme use, it has proven itself on extended polar expeditions, and so will stand up well to all conditions. Hikers, climbers, bicycle tourers and sea kayakers alike have embraced its lightweight roominess, and today it is being used in every clime, all over the world. Long distance backpackers especially appreciate having a sturdy, comfortable room of their own at the end of a long day on the trail. Trekkers find it excellent lightweight accommodation insurance for when traditional lodging in far flung places is overcrowded, overpriced, or unavailable. And tall users find it one of the few solo tents available that has enough room.- Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mmpoles make for a very lightweight yetsupremely stable tent.- All season construction: outer tent wallsextend to the ground and mesh areas arebacked with adjustable fabric panels.- Single pole construction offers excellentspace to weight ratio and is the idealchoice for mobile journeys.- The Akto has a plenty of room for oneoccupant and his or her gear.- Linked but separable inner and outertent for simultaneous pitching.- Basic pitching requires only four pegsin the head and foot end guy lines, andthe simple, single-opening, continuouspole sleeve and tensioner system isquick to pitch and remarkably stable.(Note: pegging out the four cornersprovides optimal floor space, ventingand overall tent function and is highlyrecommended.)- The single entrance/single vestibuleconfiguration affords easy access aswell as storage space.- An optional footprint covers the entirearea of the outer tent, including thevestibule.
