Hilleberg Gear Akto 1 Person Tent

1 person tent

A spacious, amazingly light solo tent with true all-season function.

The Akto 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.

It’s 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 climate, 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.

“Akto” means “alone” in Sami, the language of the people indigenous to northern Scandinavia.

Details

• Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles make for a very lightweight yet supremely stable tent.
• All-season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjustable fabric panels. 
• Single pole construction offers excellent space to weight ratio and is the ideal choice for mobile journeys. 
• The Akto has plenty of room for one occupant and his or her gear.
• Linked but separable inner and outer tent for simultaneous pitching.
• 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.
• An optional footprint covers the entire area of the outer tent, including the vestibule. It connects directly to the tent, and can be left attached during pitching.
• The inner tent can be replaced with the Akto Mesh Inner tent.
• The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires the optional Akto/Enan pitching kit
• Dual guy lines on each pole, with the upper attachment loop designed to wrap around the pole, increase stability in poor conditions.
• Flaps protect zippers from the rain.
• Separate vent cover protects open vents from snow and rain.
• Adjustable roof vents can be closed with snow-proof panels, and are accessible from inside the tent.
• Integrated stowage pockets.
• Vestibules are integrated into the construction, resulting in a fully freestanding tent.
• Full no-see-um mesh on inner tent door is covered by a zipper adjust­able, fabric panel for all-season comfort.
• High bathtub floor keeps out ground water.
• Highly recommended optional footprint can be found by clicking here: Akto Footprint

(Every Hilleberg tent comes with outer tent, inner tent, guy lines with line runners, poles, pegs, stuff bags for tent, poles and pegs, spare pole section, repair sleeve and instructions.

“Minimum Weight” refers to the outer and inner tents and the poles only. “Packed Weight” includes all items that come with the tent.

* “Packed size” is measured with the poles and pegs, both in their bags, rolled into the tent inside the tent bag. Packing the tent and poles (both in their respective bags) into your pack separately will yield a significantly smaller tent package, and a pole package that can be easily slid into a corner of your pack. Poles all fold to 43 cm/17 in.

All product features and measurement values, including tent weight and pole length, may vary somewhat from what is shown in catalogs, other printed items, and on our web site. Such differences can occur because of alterations in the design and production process and/or natural variations in the materials. Fabric dyes have natural variations, so the actual tent color may look slightly different from what is pictured here or on different websites.)
