The akto had existed for over 2 decades, yet its taken this long for someone to upload a proper adverisment for the tent! Great explanation and great shots. And not pitched on a cricket pitch!
I own the Soulo red label in the same color in Switzerland. I also use it in the summer in Corsica, Elba, Menorca for weeks. I love it, it blends in so well in every Season.
When I pack the akto, I leave the ends of the windward guylines outside the tent bag which i use to pull it out after attaching one to a caribeener on my pack. The end vents have zippers on both sides so can be accessed from the outside or inside. You can access them from the inside by uncliping the inner at 2 points or just just put something waterproof on your head and push through. Got a 2nd Akto recently, had one years ago. Used just a 9mm pole in the past; gonna use 2x10mm poles this time round for bad weather which make it bombproof.
Clear, concise, very professional. A no-nonsense video, thank you. You should have far more “likes” in my opinion. I guess that will come when we see you bedding down in the weather, cooking and so on. I am really looking forward to following you.
Mine had stood up to really scary high winds. In normal conditions, they ventilate better in the wind than behind shelter. Ventilation is the biggest issue. The fly goes to ground level but you can prop it up a few inches with something.
Nice content as usual TL team😊. Thanks for reminding me to tension my pole sleeves, I watched this video on the moor last night and l wondered why the tent was flapping more than usual, other than the 30 mph winds of course! Went straight out to tighten them down thanks to you 👏
@@dougieranger In the end it is all personal preference. For me Soulo is too heavy in summer and too small in winter. Id get a Nallo 2 or 3 for that weight. imo Soulo is designed for specific use cases and is one of the least versatile tents Hilleberg offers. Enan is great though
@@lars2703There’s no denying it’s very heavy Lars. I find it spacious enough, even in winter. I find the Enan very compact. If I’m desperate for loads of space I can take my Allak 3 or if it’s really wild, my Keron 3. As you say my friend, it’s personal preference.
Not inside the inner tent. Which is what is most annoying. Cannot regulate the airflow without awkwardly reaching around the outside of the inner, or going outside
Morning, Thanks for your comment. As we mention in the video we pitched the tent in this orientation so that it could all be seen on camera without us having to point the camera and mic into wind driven snow. If you were to be pitching this for a night out in the wind and snow you are completely right.

I have an akto, it has never let me down and its really easy to use. Definitely recommend it.

Thank you so much! We look forward to sharing more with you soon!
Best small tent ever!
No the lightwave is and cheaper
Nice honest review, a motorcycle camping specific tent would be great

You say it's a fairly small tent for one person, but I find it quite roomy for one person with a nice-sized porch... Enjoyed this vid...
Love my Akto :)
Cool thanks 🎉
You're welcome 😊

Clear and helpful video
We are glad it helped!! Any questions let us know!
Cool thanks 🎉😅
Great review. Very tempted by one of these! Simon.
Buy one, you won’t regret it.
Got my soulo in red from you folks😊. Must say.. Great stuff. Btw wish I'd got the brown one mind😊😊
This is cinematic
Still best ever tent!
Good tips in this video. Is that a Gossamer pack you have?
Glad you found it useful. The pack is an Osprey Levity
I’d like to see a comparison between the Akto and a truly ultralight storm worthy tent like a Tarptent or durston xmid pro
So would we! Unfortunately they are 2 brands we cannot stock at the minute.
I definitely prefer the Soulo for winter weather. I have the Enan for summer.
Soulo is a great winter tent especially if you are expecting a lot of snow or plan on camping somewhere more exposed.
@@tauntonleisure For sure. It’s currently the best solo, winter tent on the market. No contest. But that strength comes with the weight penalty.

On the PCT i use the Unna tend.
The end vent zips ARE accessible from inside. Or is my tent different? Foot prints stop a lot of condensation.

Another great video. Thank you :) What did you have on your hands and your feet, pls?
Hi, thanks for the comment Stu is wearing Scarpa TRK boots and Rab Vapour-Rise Gloves
Ummmmm?! I would think that starting one end into the wind may make life a little easier. :o)😅
