Hilleberg Allak
No citable rating — see why we hide some.
The Allak is the freestanding Hilleberg — three 9 mm poles crossing into a dome that stands on its own, which is what you want on rock, on snow, and anywhere the ground will not take a stake. That costs 28 ounces over the Nallo and $440, and buys two doors, two vestibules and a shape that does not care which way the wind is coming from. At nearly a hundred ounces it is not a light tent; it is a tent you take because you do not want to think about the pitch.

Features
- Three 9 mm poles in a freestanding dome
- Two doors and two vestibules, 8.6 sq ft each
- Inner and outer pitch together like every Hilleberg
- Kerlon 1200 outer
In its favour
- Freestanding, which almost no tunnel-style four-season tent is
- Two doors and two vestibules at 17.2 sq ft total
- Omnidirectional dome — wind direction does not change where you pitch
- Same one-pitch inner-and-outer system as the rest of the range
- Kerlon 1200 is one of very few tent fabrics sold with a published tear strength
Against it
- $1,385, the most expensive tent in this catalog
- 98.8 oz — over six pounds
- Hilleberg publishes no floor denier or hydrostatic head
- 41.3 in peak height is modest for the weight and money

What owners report
No owner discussion has been collected for the Hilleberg Allak yet. Rather than summarise sentiment nobody expressed, this section stays empty until there is something real to read — the methodology page explains where these come from and why some tents have none.
