Regarding condensation. If you view the door at 25:00 you see the winter inner tent door flap is closed. This should only be used in winter and cold conditions for keeping the warmth in. Leave them open and fully rolled down only using the mosquito net on the doors. This also in regards to the vents at the top. Fully open unless it's snowing and winter. Also with the vestibules being big. Leave the opening a little bit open if it's a hot summer day. In my own experience with my allak 2, that helps. Wonderful video! Thanks for providing a view of the new 3 man version!

Dear Joel, Thanks for the compliment and for the comment. I do agree on the winter/vent remarks but... winter and cold are a very personal thing. Except from that I like the doors to be closed (or half) with dry colder weather and leave the outside doors open. The best thing to prevent condensation: a full floor ;-) Enjoy the Outdoors! Gijs

Incredibly thorough review of the Allak. I have been using the Allak 2 for a couple of years and still learned a couple of new things. You will find that the tent just gets better with use. You have a few small gripes with some details and that is fine, especially that it is tight for 3 large people. However, the doors and venting are so adjustable, you can almost always get adequate ventilation in most weather. You mentioned it, but you really cannot over stress how strong and reliable this tent design and materials are - rain, high winds and major snow falls are just not a concern. Sleep well.

Dear Raymond, That is a difficult question. I like the weight and the details on the Hilly and if it is a tent for two it is fine. The Fjall is bigger and heavier. What I don’t like about the Fjall is all the wires that go underneath it to keep the dome in shape while pitching. The awnings on the Fjall are a bit bigger. The Fjall is less expensive. But…. The Kerlon 1200 makes a difference in how the tent functions and that makes that I would go for the Hilly 3 but just for two persons. If I was to sleep in the tent with three I would go for the Fjall. Does this makes sense? Cheers, Gijs

It would be nice if tent manufacturers would supply floor space on different heigts, since if you lay down your feet will be pointing up and the usable length of the tent the really depends on the inclination the tent. I think 35cm up would be good (5cm sleepingpad and 30cm feet). There is a big difference in usable floorspace if your're tall, for example the MSR hubba hubba is very effective for tall people but on paper it is really small.

I wish Hilleberg Red Label tents had the option of replacing the 9mm lightweight poles with their 10mm stronger poles. It's the one reason for me to pick a Staika over an Allak - not the fabric or the other more solid areas, it's the poles, at least for me.

Hi Gijs, thank you for taking the time to do such a thorough review. It’s very much appreciated. I presently have two Nordisk tents for 3 season camping - the Oppland 3 LW (were roomy and only 1.9kg if you haven’t come across it) and the Telemark 2 LW for when I’m doing ultralight bike packing or fastpacking alone. I’m interested in the Hillebergs for four season use and have my eye on the Soulo and Allak. The former for use alone obviously and the latter with my wife and young daughter or winter camping with a friend. I think these would be more stable in higher, variable winds than the tunnel design - Nallo or Kaitum GTs - though I confess I think I will miss some of their vestibule space after my experience with the Oppland. I wondered whether you’d tried carrying the Allak 3 as a backpacking tent and, if so, how you found it. Also whether you have used the vestibule to cook in when you have been kept tent bound. I assumed the angle of the flysheet would assist in that regard despite only being 75cm max depth. Finally, whether you’ve tried the Soulo and whether you found it to be cramped (we are the same height/build it seems). I also wondered whether the dual openings in the roof on the Allak may afford better ventilation than the Soulo. Many thanks for any guidance you can offer. All the best, Mark
@OutdoorguruGearReviews4 жыл бұрын
Hi Mark, That is a long question with a very long answer. I am not sure in what timezone you are but maybe it is better to have a chat about this by phone. Let's get into email and fix this. My email is info@outdoorguru.com In short: I have a Oppland and find it too low for being very practical. The Allak has been in my backpack but not traveling solo. The weight is not that bad for a 4 season tent but others will have to carry a substantial load too if you go out for a week or so. No, the vestibule is not ideal if you are with three in the tent since folding the inner tent is not really possible then. The Soulo…. No, I don’t think it is cramped but it is neither spacious. I use a 1p Nigor and MSR and they don’t feel cramped either. But… a lightweight 2p is more comfy and practical. Ventilation in all lightweight tents with colder temperatures is always a ‘problem’. I don’t know any tent that does this very well except for heavy poly cotton tipi’s. Like I mentioned: if you like to discuss: email and phone ;-). Cheers, Gijs

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Hi Gijs, thank you for your reply. I’ve been very busy over the last few days so my apologies for not replying sooner. I also caught sight of your Abisko dome review which opened up another possibility. I like a lot about that tent and could see some advantages over the Allak - vents, higher denier lower fly, maybe a more sheltered vestibule. But I liked the openness from the Allak (rather than it being half obscured by the fly) and the way in which it is pitched with the clips. I thought this may have some advantages in assembling fast in poor weather and with keeping the fabric uniformly low as you steadily clip it in. But ultimately I noted there was only one available in sand in the entire uk so I quickly purchased it. I have 14 days to reevaluate my decision. I also like your Rab Mythic. I’ve been looking at the range for bikepacking and considering the Western Mountaineering too, summerlite, ultralight and antelope in particular. I think the full length zips have their advantages to vent in warmer weather, which are sadly not present on the 200 and 400 mythic, which is maybe steering me towards WM. Thanks again, Mark

If you had to choose only one for four season camping, would you choose Allak 3 or Fjällräven Abisko Dome 3? And if Fjällräven is the one, would you take Abisko Dome or Keb Dome? My main usage would be 4 season backpacking, in the winter time with a pulk and during the summer hiking with backpacks in the northern hemisphere and some kayaking. The Keb Dome 3 weighs a lot, so that is a negative, but with this I'd split the weight with a buddy.

Hi Markus, Tough one. I think the Allak pitches easier (and faster). The wires that hold the feet of the poles together when pitched on the FR's are not always that clever; it takes careful packing. I reviewed the 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/moeteqOfmZ1loZo and the Keb 3 - in Dutch - kzbin.info/www/bejne/maKUqGp8qclsh7M - so take a look and them. The ruggedness of the Abisko has proven to be fine to how I use tents. I don't need the heavier Keb but in your case it might be different. The price of the Abisko is strong. The Allak is a bit more functional but is a smallish for three and large enough for two. The weight is about the same as the Abisko the price is € 300,- higher. What I do like about the FR's is the fly fabric mix: heavier where it touches the ground, lighter where heavy is not needed. Like a wrote above... tough one. I hope this helps in any way....

Great review. However, if you need additional "awning" coverage, just swap the "hat" with a tarp. Also, the size of a "person" in tent terms is typically 20". Most people go with larger mats (eg 25"). So I think it's fair to call this a "3 person tent" based on industry convention, but that rarely converts to how people typically use their tents.

It is questionable if that tent can be called geodesic because pole crossing points are few and so close to each other. I'd say it is a three pole dome tent. All aluminium parts need a lot energy and several manufacturing stages. Anodizing surface is not a big deal and certainly not specially harmful for environment. So new way (?) to do it sounds quite a lot like green wash. On real expeditions you need more space, so then it certainly is a two person tent

Hi RD, I have heard this and also Hilleberg can't speed up or change production that is done in Europe. You could have a look at the almost similar Fjallraven Abisko Dome 2 I review. kzbin.info/www/bejne/moeteqOfmZ1loZo Let me know if that works for you. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Gijs

Hi again Gijs. I now have an Allak2 and have been out this autumn in wet and windy weather. I have a question. Should I pitch the tent foot or head into the wet wind? If I want to sleep well I won’t want the fabric blowing against my head so would pitch foot into wind. But the way the Allak door opens from the head, and the gutter drops towards the foot, suggests pitching foot into wind will cause rain to blow into a slightly opened door and also up the gutter preventing rain from dripping from it as intended. Perhaps I should pitch head into wind but sleep upside down!! What do you do? !
@OutdoorguruGearReviews4 жыл бұрын
Hi Peter, First: I understand the question and I never thought about it like you do. I pitch the tent with one opening and awning in the wind so the other is totally sheltered..... I only use one opening when the weather is that bad. Yes, we crawl over each other in the night to go out for a pee🙃. Even when the wind shifts in the night I found this the more secure option. Traditionally I think one would pitch it with the dome with the feet in the wind when the door opens with the zipper at shoulder height. In this case you can open the door half on both sides without wind blowing in the tent. Does this make sense? If not, let's chat. Send me a email and we schedule something. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews I hadn’t thought about pointing the opposite door into wind! I camp mainly on my own so that would work - the door is the weakest part of the Allak2 as it is relatively long and the angles wide, but perhaps that doesn’t matter... I shall have to try it. As you say the traditional way would be foot to wind and that is how the Hilleberg booklet shows it.

You think Allek 3 is the answer for those problems I just listed? Also what brand of clothes are you wearing ?

Hi! You got a funny name but you probably don’t know it. Knvb: Koninklijke Nederlandse Bergsport Vereniging or Royal Dutch Mountenairing Organisation, a work for them😄. Back to the question: freestanding tents solve that part of your ‘problem’. Ventilation... there is more needed to give this answer. There are so much variables into this equation and wind and temperature difference between in en outside are the biggest ones. And vent-openings of course. With 40 you mean temperature? When is is dry, why not only pitch the innertent solo? It needs some DIY but it is possible.

Both fabrics suffer from wet/dry and temperature changes but the Hilly a little bit less. Maybe the article on the website gives a bit more info.

Thank you for this really thorough review. However, you use a 4-season tent and complain about the fact that there is condensation or lack of ventilation due to the fact that the outer tent reaches the floor. Using a tent like this in the summer is absolutely overkill. I use the Helags for the summer, but I am looking at the Allak 2 for autumn or winter camping. And I like the idea of being able to move the tent once it is pitched... Well, at the moment it is hard to get your hands on one of these tents anyway, at least in Germany. So i am saving myself some money for the time being. Great review, I subscribed. =)

And... -sorry for writing - the Kunai with its outer tent not touching the ground by far, is not a 4-season tent for Northerns countries with wind and snow. Nemo rates it a 3/4.
