Akto
30-Year Anniversary Edition

We are thrilled to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of our Akto with a limited release of Anniversary Edition tents. With all the same features and function of our standard Akto, the Anniversary Edition pays homage to the original tent by incorporating our classic lighter green fabric color and leather patches, which used to come standard on all Hilleberg tents. All commemorative patches on the tent and tent bag are made from sustainably sourced genuine leather, and are unique to this limited-edition model. Both the outer tent and the tent bag have a sewn-in, specially designed 30-year logo patch, and if you want to bring your love for the Akto outside of the backcountry, this patch also comes attached to the tent bag and in a full-color sticker version. For both longtime fans of the Akto or new users looking for a unique tent, the Anniversary Edition Akto will add a distinct vintage look and feel to any trip, anywhere in the world.
When the Akto was first introduced in 1995, it was Hilleberg’s very first solo tent. Our founders Bo and Renate Hilleberg tested 17 different prototypes before they were finally satisfied with the design. The tent they envisioned, built, tested, and then ultimately introduced was like nothing else on the market at the time; an innovative single-pole construction made it very light weight, and its durable materials met the high Hilleberg standards for strength. The Akto was an immediate success with all-season travelers from around the world who wanted a room of their own in the backcountry. Today, 30 years later, it continues to be trusted for all kinds of adventures and one of our best-selling models, thanks to its true all-season strength and very light weight.
“Akto” means “alone” in Sami, the language of the people indigenous to northern Scandinavia.
- Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9mm poles make for a very lightweight yet supremely stable tent.
- All season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjustable fabric panels.
- Tunnel construction offers maximum space to weight ratio and is the ideal choice for mobile journeys.
- Plenty of room for one occupant and their gear.
- Linked but separable inner and outer tent for simultaneous pitching.
- Basic pitching requires only four pegs in the head and foot end guy lines, and the simple, single-opening, continuous pole sleeve and tensioner system is quick to pitch and remarkably stable. (note: pegging out the four corners provides optimal floor space, venting and overall tent function and is highly recommended.)
- The single entrance/single vestibule configuration affords easy access as well as storage space.
- An optional footprint covers the entire area of the outer tent, including the vestibules. It connects directly to the tent, and can be left attached during pitching.
- The inner tent can be replaced with a Mesh Inner tent (sold separately; see accessories).
- The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires optional pole holders (see accessories).

Our proprietary 3 mm red and white guy line cord is strong, light and easy to see. Its interwrap construction interweaves super strong Vectran cord longitudinally with polyester, producing a cord with no sheath to slip, near zero stretch, minimal water absorption, an easy-to-handle soft feel, high UV resistance, and a stout 85 kg (187 lb) breaking strength.
Comes standard on Black, Red & Blue Label tents.
These unique and reliable line runners come with every tent, but they can also be purchased separately. They lock securely on our 3 mm guy line and are easy to adjust, even while wearing mittens.
Our Reflective Cord, which is designed using our proprietary 3 mm Guy Line as a guide, has the same “interwrap” construction that interweaves remarkably strong Vectran fiber longitudinally with polyester, but adds a 1 mm reflective thread to the mix. Like our standard Guy Line, the Reflective Cord has no sheath to slip, near zero stretch, minimal water absorption, an easy-to-handle soft feel, high UV resistance, and the same impressive 85 kg (187 lb) breaking strength. It is, however, about 30 g (1 oz) heavier per 25 m.
