Why am i selling?
I have gone to the dark side and am mainly using a tarp.
Also starting to get claustrophobic in tents and want to sell the Akto before i cut my way out of it screaming at 2 in the morning because the inner has touched my face.
OK, I am slightly exaggerating there. I don't see myself using the Akto much now but it is a brilliant little tent and is in great nick.

Update on Akto.

Thank you brother in law : - there is a hole in the inner from a zip jam. I have left it unrepaired for sale, it would be a minor sew or tape job. All other parts of the tent are as new.


A short video of the exterior and interior of the tent

I can get the local tailor to fix for far less than that. You can repair an inner with tenacious tape as well, but yes, the BiL might have to take a trip to the tailor - or fork out for the TT.

Relax MD. You would be unlikely to fit in an Akto. :lol:

I have one and as SLP said, they are a great tent, but light, strong and roomy ? Pic two. :)

Hole in solid mesh inner repaired with flexible Tenacious Tape.

BiL owes me $17....

As stry said but light, strong, cheap - pick two.

Glad I bought the Akto on sale from the US when the dollar was at parity - Wild Earth have the Akto at $739 at the moment.
