$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.

Wiley X Is Sneaky Good: ‘WX Founder’ Sunglasses Are a Pleasant Surprise

Although Wiley X is good, it hasnt been one of them.   Until now. Ive worn the Wiley...

Lighter, Cheaper, Roomier: Blue Coolers Ice Vault Review
  For a number of years, coolers have been all the rage.

Its almost impossible to review or even speak about...
Memory Foam Molded to Your Feet: Meindl MFS-Vakuum Hiker Review
  I used to dread breaking in new hiking boots whenever I finally had to retire a pair Id beaten to death. New pairs of boots always pinched, rubbed, and squeezed my feet in weird ways until, eventually, they would soften up and relent.   For whatever reason, that process has gotten easier over the years. Maybe I just got used to...
2025 Nissan Rogue Gets Rock Creek Off-Roader
  The Nissan Rogue just got more rugged. The 2025 Nissan Rogue Rock Creek adds a chunky new front fascia, more cladding, and all-terrain tires. Some versions of the Rogue are also more tech-heavy with the addition of an invisible hood camera view and ProPilot Assist 2.1 hands-off highway driving, but those features will be surprisingly absent from the new off-road...
EXØD ‘Air Station Pod-01’ Is a $2,000 Portable, Inflatable Home
  The evolution of the tent has been a wild ride. Simple lean-to tents have been discovered dating back to 40,000 BCE. Theyve been used by nomadic tribes, armies, and traveling circuses in the millennia since. Then, in the mid-20th century, the classic survival tent, most often used for recreational camping and backpacking today, came into being.   Tent tech has been...

Fjallraven Kajka 35 Review: Wooden Stays Support This Durable Backpack
  Theres a lot to consider when buying a backpack, and for many shoppers, packs tend to look more alike than different. But when recently shopping for packs, I bumped into the Fjallraven Kajka 35, and the frame became the reason I ended up picking that specific pack.   Most internal frame packs have stays made from metal or carbon fiber. For...
Neso 1 Beach Tent Review: Not Your Average Beach Umbrella
  Have you ever had your flimsy old beach umbrella blow away after just the smallest gust of wind at the beach? Its a beautiful, sunny day and the perfect opportunity to relax by the water, but the lack of reliable sun coverage hinders the whole experience. You can feel a sunburn forming, and there is no shade to read a...
They’re Baaaack! Minimalist, 5-Toe ‘Peluva’ Lightweight Trainer Review
  What are those?! Just when you thought the meme —and the toe-shoe craze —was dead, here I come, waltzing in like its 2010 all over again.   In full transparency, I didnt understand the appeal when Vibram made its sneaker splash with the Five Fingers footwear phenomenon. At the time, Born to Run was a bestselling hit that had runners and...
