The goal with the new Allak was to create a completely freestanding, all season, yet very light Dome tent – in other words, an ultralight Staika. The Allak uses the same integrated vestibule design as the Staika, as well as a similar 3 pole structure, but it employs ultralight materials for weight savings. The result is a two door, two vestibule tent that weighs just 6 lbs 6 oz. The Allak’s three poles cross in three places, so it is sturdy enough for all season use in both exposed and/or above tree line terrain as well as protected conditions. But because of its Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles, it is not as stout as its Kerlon 1800 cousin, the Staika. Its exceptionally compact footprint and free standing design are ideal for tough pitching conditions, such as rocky ground and sand, and it is easily light enough for mobile journeys, where you move your camp every day. At the same time, its three pole Dome structure is strong enough for some base camp use, where you leave your tent unattended, especially in moderate conditions.

- Great Foul Weather Tent Review by AgainstTheWild

Price Value Quality Recently used the Allak on a pack hunt where weight and space was limited. The tent held strong against high winds and heavy rains keeping everything dry and protected. Hilleberg does a great job taking a basic dome tent and transforming it into literal bunker. From reinforced pole sleeves, clips, zippers and guy lines the Allak seems virtually indestructible. Weighing in under 7 lbs the tent is lighter than other 4 season tents I've used and much stronger. I plan on using this tent for future endeavors during the upcoming winter months, and would recommend it to any one looking for a serious 4 season tent.
