  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.

• The inner tent can be replaced with a Mesh Inner tent (sold separately).

Immense Capacity, Light Weight: Kifaru Absaroka Review
  Our camp on night one was about 4 miles and 2,000 vertical feet from the trailhead. Nothing epic, but at 12,000 feet, nothing to trifle with, either. Add about 50 pounds of gear, including a rifle, and it was a stout hike. That was day one of my 2024 Colorado elk rifle season and the first day of testing of...
