Lightweight, roomy and quite strong, the Allak is an excellent all-around choice for nearly any trip in any season. Seen here in Patagonia with Cerro Torre (3128 m (10,262 ft) in the background. Photo: Will Copestake (willcopestakemedia.com)
Allak Details
Dual guy lines on each pole, with the upper attachment loop designed to wrap around the pole, increase stability in poor conditions.
Flaps protect zippers from the rain.
Separate vent cover protects open vents from snow and rain.
Adjustable roof vents can be closed with snow-proof panels, and are accessible from inside the tent.
2 Integrated stowage pockets.
Vestibules are integrated into the construction, resulting in a fully free standing tent.
Full no-see-um mesh on inner tent door is covered by a zipper adjustable, fabric panel for all-season comfort.
High bathtub floor keeps out ground water.
J Kerlon 1200 outer tent fabric and 9 mm poles make for a very lightweight yet supremely stable tent.
J All season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjust- able fabric panels.
J Dome construction with multiple pole crossing points provide outstanding snow-load handling capability.
J The Allak has plenty of room for two occupants and their gear.
J Linked but separable inner and outer tent for simul- taneous pitching.
J Fully free standing dome design requires no pegs for pitching, and the straightforward short sleeve and clip pole system make for quick, easy set up.
J Dual entrances and vestibules ensure that one door can always be situated out of the wind and provide flexible entry/exit and storage options.
Germany’s Outdoor magazine awarded the Allak Editor’s Choice, saying: “.In sum, there is currently no better trekking tent for two people.”

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 dur- ing pitching.
The inner tent can be replaced with the Allak Mesh Inner tent (sold separately; see page 76).
The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires the optional Allak pitching kit (sold separately; see page 80).
The Allak claimed Test Winner in a test of 10 tents in Germany’s Outdoor magazine, and was the only tent to receive the designation “Outstanding.”
