Description

  Simple, light, strong, and freestanding; an excellent all-around two-person tent

  Inspired by Hilleberg's exceptionally strong Staika, the Hilleberg was designed to be a completely freestanding, 4 season dome tent for those prioritizing lighter weight over absolute strength. During its two year development, the Hilleberg Allak 2 became their testers’ tent of choice anytime they were uncertain about what kind of terrain or conditions they might experience on a trip. Its exceptionally compact footprint and freestanding design are ideal for tough pitching conditions, such as rocky ground and sand, and it is easily light enough for mobile journeys, where you move your camp every day. At the same time, its three pole dome structure is strong enough for basecamp use in all but the worst conditions. Since its introduction, paddlers favor it for its ability to be pitched nearly anywhere, while backpackers choose it for its roomy stability and wonderfully light weight. Mountaineers appreciate both the Allak’s freestanding design and its roominess, as well as its ability to deal with snow loading. And taller adventurers find its length a welcome comfort.

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

  

Footprint sold separately.

Women Who Built the National Parks Are Finally Getting Recognized
  Across the 429 parks, monuments and historic sites managed by the National Park Service, only 76 are named after women, or otherwise center women’s history.

Mullet Hoodie Is Tough Up Front, Stretchy in Back: Outdoor Research Deviator Review
  It was cold and slightly breezy as I ran, but all I needed underneath my Outdoor Research (OR) Deviator Hoodie was a summerweight wool T-shirt.

Small Timepiece, Big Trend: DOXA Downsizes With the SUB 200T
  Bigger isnt always better. But when it comes to dive watches, they tend to be, well, bigger. But with the introduction of the 39mm SUB 200T, DOXA shrinks its classic SUB 300 model as a nod to modern trends, even if it gives up a little real estate on its face.   It also gives up a little less on the...
