Hilleberg Akto Review: The Best Solo Tent

Hillberg, a small, Extremely Swedish companies, silently, can buy the most difficult, most difficult, most air and weather-resistant, best-made backcontory shelters for decades. October was first published in 1995 and only one design was seen in all these years. This is why a culture of Hillberg is followed. Hillberg’s tents are also very expensive, which makes me always think, “Are they worth it?”

To know this, Hillberg sent me his iconic four-season, a man, a hop-style tent-octum. With the retail price of 40 740 (though you can find it less for sale), it is not cheap, but after using it for about two weeks in autumn and winter, I think it is absolutely valuable for money.

This is not perfect, but it is the best single tent you can buy and I’m sure it’s just the nylon thing that can have shot in our making Buy it for Life GuideThe

When reached the scene in the 5th, Auto was a groundbreaking tent. A man of the season was not using a tent, no one was using silicone nylon-now the standard fabric-and no one was making a hoop tent for lightweight tents. Fast forward toward today, and a significant part of the outdoor industry now produces these national things (eg, Turpend’s Scarpa 1), Acto lives in the same tent. When something works, do not rush with it. (Though technically, Hilberg added little vent hood on the fly door at any time and I am glad they did it it could be my favorite feature))

Enough history, let’s in the tent. If you haven’t used the ultralatle tent of the cottage industry, it is probably very different than most backpacking tents you have used.

There are two things that distinguish Hillberg’s auto. The first is the hoop-style design. The other thing that separates this tent is the fabric that is more rigid and light than the other tents I have tested (though not the ultralat). More in the bottom.

Acto is not frosting. The design has a single curved pole in the middle of the tent like a covered wagon hoop. The edges are then decorated from the pole of the curved center, each end has two spots. There are some advantages of frosting design, such as being able to easily remove the tent after it is set up. But after spending time with the October and other non-fisting design, I have found that I am good at the trade-offs. Avoiding the freestanding design gives you a light tent, with a great low-end air profile, although a lot of view is strong, the air should be transferred at night. It is also easy to pitch.
