I have never used an Alaknak so I can't provide a more detailed professional answer. However, I have many customers buy my walll tents and get rid of Alaknak tents for the following
1) Too many tent vent holes to reduce condensation inside a synthetic tent - can't keep the Alaknak warm.
2) If the vent holes are plugged with towels, condensation begins and in the morning you wake up in a "rain forest"
3) Alaknak does not have a ridge pole to create a sharp roof - Consequently snow has difficulty sliding off roof.
4) Snow builds up in the roof corners and roof sags.
5) Snow can blow through the vent holes.
