$1,282.00
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.
