Hey guys been really looking into this tent. Really like the easy setup, very light weight for a four season tent. Been reading a lot of reviews and think I might bite the bullet but wanna get some opinions from the hide first. Ive been using a Eureka Zeus for a few years and really like it but this seems like the cats ass. Anybody use this tent?
 
Re: Anyone use Hilleberg Akto

Hilleberg's are great tents. They are pricey but very well made and wind/snow support is top of the heap. I use a Sierra Designs Covert 2 for my 4 season tent and would highly recommend it but you cannot go wrong with any Hilleberg.

Boydo,

I have no experience with the Akto but I was considering it for a shelter earlier this year. I actually ended up going with a Tarptent Scarp 1 instead. Pretty much the same designs. However, the Scarp is lighter, it's cheaper, and it's a tad roomier, both inside and I believe the vestibules as well. So far I'm very happy with my decision.
