The freestanding REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus tent uses lightweight materials and a unique pole design to create a 2-person, 3-season backpacking tent that's roomy, well ventilated and strong.

Two side-entry doors and Dry Entry vestibules offer convenient access and ample storage capacity
REI-exclusive Tension Truss design enhances structural stability, prevents deformation in the wind and maximizes room around your head and shoulders
Aluminum DAC Featherlight NSL hubbed poles are lightweight; set-up is quick and easy with pole clips and color coding
Rectangular floor plan makes it easy to arrange sleeping bags and gear, and allows efficient use of space
Fully adjustable, high-level vents mitigate condensation, drawing cool air under the fly from the lower perimeter and exhausting warm, moist air
Bathtub floor with seam-sealed corners ensures waterproof protection
Windproof, breathable perimeter fabric blocks dust and sand from blowing in under the fly
Silicone-treated, lightweight ripstop nylon fly stays taut in the rain, avoiding moisture-transfer to the tent while keeping you dry
No-Wick welded construction ensures that moisture won’t wick through susceptible areas such as guyout points, pole wraps or zippers in wet conditions
REI Quarterdome T2 Plus tent offers multiple interior mesh side pockets and hang loops for organization
Tent doors stuff into their own stash pockets for out-of-the-way convenience
Includes tapered, easy-to-stuff compression sack, 6 stakes, 4 guylines and tighteners, pole repair tube, and pole and stake bags
Fly/footprint minimalist pitch option lets you leave the tent at home and use the fly, poles and footprint (sold separately) as a lightweight shelter

Comments about REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus Tent:

I read tons of reviews for multiple different tents and this one seemed to stand out. I've had it for a couple years now and have used it a few times and love it. The setup is easy as everything is color coded, if the colors don't match up ... you're doing it wrong. I bought the foot print for it as well which is also color coded. Setup is quick but like someone had commented, the instructions aren't really that good but if you've ever put a tent up before, you should be fine without them.

There is plenty of room inside for one person and gear or two people with the gear under the two vestibules. The vestibules fit a good amount of gear under them and keeps it dry. The entry way is wide on the tent but the combination of the fly makes it a bit more confined when trying to get out of the tent but it's far from a deal breaker.

It packs down nice and fits in my bag without a problem. I would definitely recommend it.

Service and delivery comments:

Everything arrived clean, packaged nicely, and on time. No complaints.

It's a great tent, but many of the reviews here are of the older quarter dome model that has more mesh. See images posted by others and compare. Just wanted to point that out.

Comments about REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus Tent:

I have had this tent for two years now. I only use it when I backpack with my wife, which has been three times, each time on 4 night minimum trips. We both have plenty of room, the tent breaths well, it is simple to set up and for its size is fairly light. I have not had it in rain, but I have no doubt it would handle it fine. We are going to Kauai in a couple weeks, so I will comment more then on rain performance. It also has lots of room to sit up inside. This was a purchase I will never regret.

Comments about REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus Tent:

First let me say reading the comments by other users of products is extremely important. Having this info, I purchased upgraded MSR Ground Hog stakes and guy lines with the purchase of the tent.

On only my second time out, there was a very severe thunderstorm with 70+ mph hour winds. Even with the vents left open, there was no water at all inside.

Only improvement suggestion would be to add another couple inches in width if used for two people and a little extra vestibule room.

A very good product and easy to put up and take down.

Comments about REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus Tent:

Having recently finished a week long bicycle trip in Florida, when we experienced unusually cold nights, I thought I'd make a few comments.
First, the set up of this tent is ingenious. With the color coded system, it's impossible to set it up wrong. The only hitch I had was that when I first set it up indoors, I had a really hard time attaching the tent body to the short pole. After a quick review of the on-line video, I realized that I should do that before attaching the clips, and then everything worked great.
My week in central Florida was cold (30 something degree nights) and very windy. The tent didn't even notice the wind, although I did have to add two stakes to the six provided to achieve a solid setup. Because the tent body is virtually all mesh, I'd consider this a warm weather tent, but that's good with me because I don't normally do any cold weather camping anyway.
I found only a couple of things that weren't ideal about the tent. First, the fly over the doors is very low. I had to crawl a couple of feet before I could stand when exiting. Also, the tent fly took longer to dry than I expected after being wet from dew. I didn't experience any rain, so I can't comment on that.
Overall, I'm pleased with the tent for the purpose I bought it for, but I don't think it will be practical for family camping where weight is not an important factor.

Comments about REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus Tent:

I love this tent I am 6'4" and my girlfriend and I both use this tent on our backpacking adventures. At night both our bedrolls fit comfortably we put our packs outside under the fly on one side and use the door on the other just our preferance but everything is covered. It's one of the lighter tent's in the size range we found and set up is a breeze REI is an outstanding company as far as standing behind there products

Comments about REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus Tent:

I didn't find the instructions very useful but I do appreciate they are on the bag. I found the best instructions on youtube for putting up the tent the first time. Now that I know how it goes up and comes down quickly.

I love the construction and layout. I definitely recommend this tent!

Comments about REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus Tent:

This tent is the best two person tent i have used so far. The "plus" version makes a perfect spot for a dog or two to sleep at your feet without feeling crowded. The dome design works great for wind coming from all directions. The weight is not the lightest but is easy to carry. The quality is worth the extra weight. I have had ultra light tents but the quality is always sacrificed for weight.

Comments about REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus Tent:

I got this tent to go hiking & camping with my kids' scout troop. We were out on the AT this weekend - rained, hailed and snowed all day. This tent set up quickly and kept me dry all night. Maybe not as light as a Big Agnes ultralight, but much more roomy. This tent will actually fit two campers with gear without the two people practically sleeping on top of each other. Nicely designed tent.

Comments about REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus Tent:

I bought this tent because my sister and I out grew my old Mountain Hardwear one. We both loved the space this one provided! It's still small enough to pack in a bulk head of a sea kayak and light enough to take on a backpacking trip. I've slept dry and comfortable on windy shores and in rainy woods. I'm really happy with this tent and can't wait for spring break to come so I can camp in it again! It has become my home away from home. :)
