Description

  Spacious and lightweight solo tent with true all-season function

  When Hilleberg first introduced the Akto nearly 20 years ago, they didn't know it would become as popular as it has. Although only slightly heavier than a bivy bag, the Hilleberg Akto tent 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.

  The Akto is an ideal choice any time you need the lightest weight, 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.

  A note on colors: Fabric dyes have natural variations, so the actual tent color may look slightly different from what is pictured here.

What’s Harder Than the Ironman World Championship, with Chelsea Sodaro
  We love our stories of human endurance, from Shackleton’s famed expedition to the 11-hour Wimbledon match to days-long ultramarathons. Hell, even the Coney Island Hot Dog eating contest is broadcast on television; that’s just how much we celebrate a person pushing themselves to the brink.
