Thanks. The only video on this design that shows the space it offers. The tent is sadly discontinued - don't know why tipis don't get more love from lightweight campers because there is nothing to remotely touch them in wind and snow. So designing my own, but the main issue if fitting in to the things as a solo walker without making them huge. I think Seek Outside nailed it with this design - much more liveable than a symmetrical octagon like their original offering, but retaining most of the strengths. And the line attachments on the bottom hem are genius - there's nothing else that lets you rig the same pitch as a locked-down sod hem or open for venting.

Center posts is a poor design in my opinion. One good bump and your whole set up is down. No thanks.

Both great tents, but if you could only have one? Akto …

im 6'4" would I fit in this tent??

Thank you, great comparo!

A tip - if you attach some thin line at the right length between the two pegging points, you can peg them out the right distance apart before you erect the front pole. This is a much more stable sequence in a big wind. The way it's done here would be a bit of a nightmare in a storm...

Sadly, you neglected to say anything about pitching either tent. When pitching the Hilleberg, you pitch the footprint, tent, & fly simultaneously. No fooling around in windy conditions with trying to pitch the fly on top of the tent as with the MSR tent & everyone KNOWS how difficult that is. Hilleberg can be pitched in ferociously gusty winds by one person in 4-5 minutes, NO PROBLEM. Hilleberg makes a less than 3# tent called the Enan that is very similar to the Akto, However, the Enan is a STRONG 3-season tent whereas the Akto is a STRONG 4-Season tent. The Hilleberg Enan & MSR Hubba would have been a better comparison, both are 3-Season tents.

Hilleberg should update the Akto and make the ceiling higher. Essentially enlarging the tent. Imagine if the ends and ceiling in the center where the pole is were at least 4" higher. I bet it would be a hot seller.

Excellent tents, both of them. If I had to choose, I'd take the Hilleberg.

Great Vid! Is this the green or brown version? Thank you!

How do you keep the snakes out ?

What length are you setting the poles at? I'm having a difficult time string this up and already split my finger open. Please help

absolutely KUIU, the Akto is obsoleted hehe, KUIU for weight, robust, easy setup and space 👌✌

Thank you

Finally someone who gets into the tent and lays down to show how much room you have. Thank you.

Where did you get the trekking pole extender?

love the Hilleberg Akto

I looked into buying both of theses tents, I didn’t think you could go wrong with either one.I settle with the Kuiu if for no other reason than I just like the company that sold them and I don’t thing I have ran into anyone who knows about Kuiu and am always ask what tent is that?

Akto all the way 👍

Love this kit

Garbage review... i dont need the capability in your bedroom. Lets see how they do in the field.

Very good review, thank you. Subd 👍

I've looked at Hilleberg tents and been very interested. I live in the Southeast US and is there any reason for someone like me to get a 4 season tent? I don't have to worry about snowstorms or anything like that.. just thunderstorms, wind, rain. Etc. I also really liked the Anjan 2 GT from Hilleberg.. it's 3 season tent. I understand Hilleberg tents are made for extreme weather or expeditions but I do like the idea of how tough they are.

Try comparing apples with apples, the tents have totally different uses and are made to different standards and qualities. One is for warmer seasons the other is four season, mesh in one, covered in the other, one flysheet has a minimal hydrostatic head, the other will withstand more. One will survive a Scottish winter, the other will never be found again.

Would I use Akto, or other tens with the same construction, like Helsport Ringstind or Fjellreven Absiko, as a 4 season tent? Absolutely not. I would use those tents as a 2/3 season tent, under the forest line, if above the tree line, I would spend great time finding a camp with the best cover. The reason for this is that those constructions got big walls/areas on the outer tent without proper guyouts that catch wind, making the tent bounce and move a lot, and even make a lot of noise, making it hard to sleep. Not only that, but the outer tent cave in on the inner tent. Just search for "Akto in high winds" here on UA-cam and see for yourself. Don't get me wrong , all those three tents can take wind, but it's no pleasure staying inside the tents in high winds.

Hi. Found this post checking for posts about the Kuio MS 2p. After reading some of the comments bellow, it scares me, coming from Scandinavia and have done extended hikes all year round for over 30 years now, to see people classifies the Akto as a 4 season tent. By 4 season, most people include winter with loads of snow and heavy wind. The Akto is by no means capable of handling what we up here call a winter. To recommend Akto as a winter tent is dangerous! But for other regions of the world, that "4th" season has no to little snow, but can still be quite windy. The same season is "4th" for us up here, but the winter season is the "5th" season.

White tent? Are you saying you can tolerate waking up at 4:00 am when the sun hits it? Midsummer, in Europe?

Perhaps a fairer comparison would be MSR Hubba NX 1 vs Hilleberg Niak?

Heads up dude. 199 euros. amazon.de .. Robens Kestrel 2 a massive sleeping area high quality build 3.6kg pack weight close to Hilleburg quality for 2 sharing a no brainer...

The Enan is the 3 season version of the Akto.

Sweet vid dude. I’d love to see one on the Kifaru Supertarp!

I go with the Hilleberg - anytime! Simply the best tents on the planet.

You may have just stopped me from selling my Akto. I've hardly used it since I bought it, just because I have a lighter tent, plus I found it awkward to pack in my rucksack because the 4 built-in stays in the corners made it too long to put in the bottom of my pack. But you make a great point about being able to use a lighter sleeping bag, and it does seem to be a bomb-proof tent. Thanks to this video I'm going to pitch it when I get a chance and re-assess whether I should be using it. Can I ask how you carry yours in/on your pack?

What trekking pole extender is that?

Good detail comparison. The cost is in the detail of hilleberg tents . They have good strong tear strength fabrics and the waterproofness of fly and groundsheets is often way more than most tents, especially groundsheets. I have recently bought a Hilleberg Unna , never had condensation issues in wet uk and as you say i feel safe in the tent and have observed at least 5 celcius warmer difference inside tent , allowing me to go a bit lighter on sleeping bag and spare clothes if i wanted. They make great tents .

Akto above tree line tent, bomb proof, other tent looks a 3 season. Good vid tho

Beautiful knife is it for sale

Nice 👍🏻 ⛺️

Looks comfy n that 🐜 🐛 🕷 🐜 net is choice !

Hilleberg is very very nice tent !!! Expensive but very good quality !!

Good Evening. I bought this tarp and used it a few times on solo hikes. I found it to be a bit small. I am always bumping into the poles, especially the rear pole which I end up kicking with my feet. As a result, I purchased the Kifaru Tut 4 man tipi. It's being shipped as I write this. The Tut has a stove jack which this tarp doesn't have unless you get the annex, which is an additional charge. It's mid November now. As soon as the Tut arrives I plan to seal the seams, pitch it in my backyard, set up my stove and sleep outside for a few days just to test it out

Very thorough review. Particularly impressive is the reviewer’s comments on the durability-seasonal usability difference. Finances permitting, I can see the utility of owning both. My biggest concern with any tent is condensation. I spent a number of years in Olympic-style weightlifting and my metabolism runs from hot to hotter. My former paramours invariably describe me as a “heater” and that means that while it’s dry outside, it’s raining in the tent.

My experience with an ultra light tent (MSR Carbon Reflex) is the fly has a limited life span. Mine lasted about 3-4 years before it basically disintegrated. Always be aware there is no free lunch with tents. Buy the NX if you want to camp in gentler climes, the Hilleberg for the open tops and wild weather. The reviewer here spells it out honestly. They are basically 2 completely different tents, the only thing they share is size.

thanks! bought one and now I know how to set it up!

Can't use a wood stove in either tent. I'd rather just go with a tarp with a stove jack and a wood stove

I just came off three nights and 4 days on the AT in NC..in early April. I took my new Kuiu mountain star. It is definitely a three season tent. I got caught on a mountaintop in quite a bad storm. The next morning temperature was right at freezing. The Mountian Star keep me dry all three nights but I was cold and sleeping in my Zpack 20 degree sleeping bag and my REI silks. I did developed a tear in the bug netting after the first night ( not sure how). I would give the tent an 7 out of 10 rating And that isn’t bad for my rating system.

I've been interested about tipi tents lately. never used it . i hunt in the back country in Hawaii i use msr hubba nx one person. light and seems way easy to set up.

thanks for the review. So is the outer shell connected to the internal one? in other words is that outer rain layer connected permanently to the inner screen layer? with North Face it's always two separate annoying pieces. thank you very much.

Nice video and nice knife man I love my bugout

Judging by your squeaky clean feet, you keep the grass of your yard exquisitely clean! Nice shelter!
