Description
The Hilleberg Akto is a very light and remarkably strong all-season solo tent that functions well in nearly any condition. It is especially well-suited to those who need to travel light, with minimal gear, but still require a truly reliable shelter, no matter the weather or situation.
Although only slightly heavier than a bivy bag, the Akto offers roomy, all-season shelter for the solo traveller, all in a package that includes a vestibule and boasts a packed size small enough to fit into a side pocket on many packs.
It’s an ideal choice any time a very light yet quite strong, easy-to-pack, all-season solo tent is required. The Akto was not designed for extreme use, but it has been used repeatedly on extended polar expeditions and in other challenging types of terrain and weather, and so has proven that it can stand up well to tough conditions. The standard version of the Akto has been and is being used in nearly every climate, all over the world, by a wide variety of users. Backpackers in all seasons appreciate having a sturdy, comfortable room of their own at the end of their day; overland trekkers who find it excellent lightweight accommodation insurance for when traditional lodging is overcrowded, overpriced, or unavailable; and tall users find it one of the few solo tents available that has enough room.
The Akto is an outstanding and very lightweight solo shelter solution for nearly any condition.

The Akto 1 Person Tent is a Red Label Tent:
All-season tents that prioritise lightweight packability. Ideal for all-season trips where conditions may be especially challenging and weight is a priority. Designed for users who don't require the strength of Black Label models, or who are willing to compromise on strength and comfort for lighter weight.
The Hilleberg label system divides the tents in one of four categories, or “Labels,” Black, Red, Yellow, or Blue, each representing a performance range based on materials, construction or both.
