  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.

• Basic pitching requires only four pegs in the head and foot end guy lines, and the simple, single-opening, continuous pole sleeve and tensioner system is quick to pitch and remarkably stable. (note: pegging out the four corners provides optimal floor space, venting and overall tent function and is highly recommended.)
• The single entrance/single vestibule configuration affords easy access as well as storage space.

• The inner tent can be replaced with a Mesh Inner tent (sold separately).
• The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires optional pole holders (sold separately).

EXØD ‘Air Station Pod-01’ Is a $2,000 Portable, Inflatable Home
  The evolution of the tent has been a wild ride. Simple lean-to tents have been discovered dating back to 40,000 BCE. Theyve been used by nomadic tribes, armies, and traveling circuses in the millennia since. Then, in the mid-20th century, the classic survival tent, most often used for recreational camping and backpacking today, came into being.   Tent tech has been...
They’re Baaaack! Minimalist, 5-Toe ‘Peluva’ Lightweight Trainer Review
  What are those?! Just when you thought the meme —and the toe-shoe craze —was dead, here I come, waltzing in like its 2010 all over again.   In full transparency, I didnt understand the appeal when Vibram made its sneaker splash with the Five Fingers footwear phenomenon. At the time, Born to Run was a bestselling hit that had runners and...
2025 Nissan Rogue Gets Rock Creek Off-Roader
  The Nissan Rogue just got more rugged. The 2025 Nissan Rogue Rock Creek adds a chunky new front fascia, more cladding, and all-terrain tires. Some versions of the Rogue are also more tech-heavy with the addition of an invisible hood camera view and ProPilot Assist 2.1 hands-off highway driving, but those features will be surprisingly absent from the new off-road...

Obiri took the hyper-fast shoes over the finish line in 2:22:37.   I had the...
Onewheel Rally, Filson Camp Chair, Knog MTB Light, and More Emerging Gear
  When the going gets hot, weve all got to be a little more creative. If daytime temperatures feel overwhelming, why not have some outdoor fun in the cooler moments at night? That was my first thought when gazing at the beautiful night photography for Knogs new MTB bike light.   It made me reflect on night climbing in Central Texas to...

Wiley X Is Sneaky Good: ‘WX Founder’ Sunglasses Are a Pleasant Surprise
  Reviewing sunglasses is tricky business. Its really hard to quantify things like clear, sharp, or defined. But those adjectives tend to roll off the page, describing good optics without much support.   Historically, a handful of top sunglasses brands have earned those accolades consistently. Although Wiley X is good, it hasnt been one of them.   Until now. Ive worn the Wiley...
Lighter, Cheaper, Roomier: Blue Coolers Ice Vault Review
  For a number of years, coolers have been all the rage. With about a million options for what seems like the same cooler over and over again on the shelves, how do you even know which one to choose?   Lets face it. We are still living in the era of YETI. Its almost impossible to review or even speak about...
Memory Foam Molded to Your Feet: Meindl MFS-Vakuum Hiker Review
  I used to dread breaking in new hiking boots whenever I finally had to retire a pair Id beaten to death. New pairs of boots always pinched, rubbed, and squeezed my feet in weird ways until, eventually, they would soften up and relent.   For whatever reason, that process has gotten easier over the years. Maybe I just got used to...
Fjallraven Kajka 35 Review: Wooden Stays Support This Durable Backpack
  Theres a lot to consider when buying a backpack, and for many shoppers, packs tend to look more alike than different. But when recently shopping for packs, I bumped into the Fjallraven Kajka 35, and the frame became the reason I ended up picking that specific pack.   Most internal frame packs have stays made from metal or carbon fiber. For...
