Hilleberg Allak 2

The Hilleberg Allak 2 is a freestanding, double-wall dome tent for two people, packing at 2800 g and rated 3+ season (extended) — Hilleberg's designation for a tent built to handle winter conditions and ski mountaineering, not just three-season backpacking. Being freestanding matters on rock, snow or hard ground where stakes won't bite; you can pitch it, move it, and shake snow off without unstaking a single guyline. The fly and inner pitch together as one unit, which speeds up setup in wind or driving rain when you don't want the inner exposed while you fumble with poles. The fly fabric is Kerlon 1200, Hilleberg's silicone-coated ripstop nylon — durable enough to back up the tent's 3+ season (extended) rating for sustained wind and snow load. Two doors and two vestibules mean each occupant gets independent entry and gear storage, useful on multi-day trips when you don't want to crawl over a tent-mate to get out. A footprint is sold separately rather than included, so factor that in if you plan to pitch regularly on abrasive or wet ground. At 2800 g packaged, it sits above ultralight two-person shelters but below heavy expedition tents — a reasonable trade for hikers and ski mountaineers who need genuine four-season durability and are willing to carry the extra weight for it.
