$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.

This Shelter Shoulders All Seasons: MSR Access 2 Tent Review
  With 40mph winds blasting my face, I jumped into the flapping tent, desperate to get shelter from the snow pellets hitting my forehead.

A Lightweight Winter Companion: KUHL Spyfire Parka Review

You Can’t Handle an Adventure Dog
  I had just clipped the third bolt on a warm up route at a crag called The Shire when I heard the shouting below me.

An Instagram Star Did a Backflip on the Top of Mount Everest
  Over the years, climbers have transformed the summit of Mount Everest into a concert venue, a nudist colony, and even a frisbee launchpad. But prior to this week, nobody to our knowledge had used the worlds highest point as a trampoline.   That changed when an American climber named Devon Levesque executed a backflip on the summit on Tuesday, May 21. Levesque,...
