Bushwalk Australia

I walk in Tassie and need advice on a lightweight but solid all season tent to cope with difficult off track walking and weather conditions. Am leaning towards the Hilleberg Akto (in spite of the condensation issue others have comment on), but would value advice from others.

The Akto is a great tent, don't base your decision on specific alone, all tents suffer from condensation it's inevitable. I personally use the force 10 helium 2 love it, it's a three season alas stood up to high wind rain and snow fall on the AAWT.

Andrew Skurka circumnavigated Alaska with a MLD Solomid, 450 grams, don't necessarily need a 'tent'. I would second the Atko however

I think the Hilleberg Soulo would be a better choice for your stated requirements.

Soulo has better ventilation but is heavier. Always the trade-off.

The Soulo has a bit more headroom sitting up but less laying down.
not all relevant if under 6' or so.

The extra length the Atko vs the Soulo is compromised by the proximity of the tent wall.

I owned both the atko and soulo, I highly recommend the soulu. The ability to be self supporting, extra poles for snow. It's well worth the trade off for more weight.
