Why Choose The Akto?

The Akto Offers Near-Luxury All-Season Shelter For The Solo Traveler – Lodging That Includes A Vestibule And A Packed Size Small Enough To Fit Into A Side Pocket On Many Packs.

§ The Akto has true all-season capability, yet its total weight is only 1.5 kg/3 lbs 5 oz.  The Tunnel design and linked inner and outer tents makes it very simple and quick to set up, and provides a high degree of stability in all conditions.

§ The single pole offers full sitting height in the middle of the tent, while sturdy fiberglass rods in the corners of the outer tent provide extra height, eliminating the claustrophobia that many solo tents generate.

§ Pitching requires only four pegs – one for each of the corner guy lines – yet an additional six points provide more options for increasing stability. This includes using the corner points at the head and foot ends of the tent and the double guy lines with double line runners on both sides of the pole sleeve. If needed, another guy line can be added to the front vent hood.

§ The Akto’s ventilation works regardless of weather conditions, since both the inner tent’s fabric is highly breathable, and the main front vent – integrated into the door – is protected by a generous hood.  Both ends of the tent have zipper closure vents as well, and these are protected by the overhang formed by the guy line attachment points.  Additionally, these ends are made from a venting fabric, which is highly air permeable but still able to keep rain and snow out.  Lastly, the top half of the inner tent door no-see-um mesh panel covered with an equal sized, zipper-adjustable fabric panel

More than a tarp yet not quite a true tent, the new Rajd (pronounced “ride”) is the perfect shelter for those who favor a tarp’s gossamer weight, but don’t want to sacrifice the comfort of walls and a floor.

A 2.4 m² / 25.8 ft² Interior Is Comfortably Big Enough For Two Fit People, And Is A Veritable Palace For The Solo Traveler – Especially One Used To The Confines Of Many Solo Shelter Solutions.  And It Weighs Less Than Many Tarps And Bivy Bags!

Entirely Constructed With The Superior Kerlon 1200 Fabricate, This Shelter Provides Exceptional Head-Room And A Two Door Access – Enabling Two Occupants Their Own Entrance; And, The Connivance Of Entering From Either Side As Conditions Change ---- Such As Privacy In A Group Camp Site, When Winds Kick Up From One Side, etc...  The Rajd Is A Great Choice When Going "Super Light" Is The Highest Priority.  Keep In Mind, The Rajd Is Not A Tent, And Does Not Offer The Same Comfort Or Strength, Especially In Variable To Poor Weather Conditions.

Makes An Excellent “Backup Lodging” For Hunting Trips Or Adventure Travel.  And, Since It Complies With Many Race Regulations That Require Overnight Shelters To Have A Sewn-In Floor, The Rajd Is A Great Choice For Adventure Racers And Mountain Ultra-Marathon Runners.

Pitching The Rajd Is Simple ----- Simply Peg Out The Floor; Insert Two Trekking Pole Ends, Branches, Or Optional Hilleberg Poles, Into The Pole-End Cups On Either End; Set Poles Upright; Then Set Guy-Lines And Four Corners. Alternatively, Create A Ridge-Line Support By Setting Guy-Lines Between Trees.  Guy-Lines Are The Proprietary 2-mm Spectra-Blend Cord Used On The Hilleberg Ultralight Tents; And They Are Equipped With Non-Slip Line Runners For Secure Pitching In Demanding Weather.

Highly-Weatherproof And Very Durable Shelter Providing A Single Layer Of Fabric Between Occupants And The Outside Elements.  Since The Floor Panel Is The Same Ultralight-Fabric As The Walls, Care Should Be Exercised In Choosing A Site, Especially On Rocky Ground.  A Intelligent Favorite Solution Is To Place A Foam Sleeping Pad Under The Floor.

The Single-Wall Design Is, By Nature, More Prone To Condensation Than The Hilleberg Double Tent Designs.  To Help Reduce Condensation Build-Up, No-See-Um Mesh Panels Are Sewn At The Top Third Of The Door Ends; Enabling Cross Ventilation.  The Door Panels Are Sections In Two Pieces, Enabling Maximum Ventilation Capabilities ---- Rolling Up One Half Or Both.
