Solid mountaineering tent good as all arounder too
4 years ago
So for the last few years like many of us I have been saving weight with lighter and lighter gear. No complaints on my ultralight tent but I bought this to do the mountains here in Fairplay CO all 4 months and it is kind of refreshing to setup and use something so burly again. You feel absolutely secure in this thing in extreme winds and snows. No concern what soever falling asleep wondering what weather will happen overnight. Sets up extremely eay, I can do in 1 minue flat. I made a footprint out of Tyvec which I have been using but I'm not sure it's necessary....it just makes me feel better considering the price. Speaking of price, as a good mountaineering tent it is actually cheap. As an all around tent, it is expensive but you get what you pay for. Stitching, zippers, vent panels, floor, clips, poles all feel like a quality tent worth every penny.

Just had the Tenshi delivered yesterday. This is not a filed review of the Tenshi but a review based off of 20+ years rock/ice/alpine climbing here in the States and BC. Plus I’m a gear hound so this is my 9th tent. Second 4 season. First. The tent is light. For winter pursuits I’ve been using my very old TNF Mtn 24 or 25. I bought in mid 90’s but only used for winter. It weighs roughly 8 pounds and does not pack small even though it’s a 2 man tent. Being somewhat ole’school it’s hard to think lighter can actually be as strong as the heavier gear but this tent seems real sturdy. My concern is the DAC featherlight poles. They almost felt like they would break when I was setting up the tent. But they didn’t and I’m sure they’ll handle heavy snow/wind/ rain just fine. I take care of my gear but can be hard on it so I expect it to least (see how old my TNF tent is!). Second. It’s a tight, light 2 man tent. My insulated pad takes up about 75% of the tent space. The vestibule is a good size but even at that with ropes, ice gear, etc 2 people are going to get real cozy. Hope you really like your partner! Third. It has a lot of ventilation. Ergo if vented properly even for a single wall condensation should be minimal. Ergo I will forgo using the condensation curtain saving a few ounces. Fourth. For as much as the tent costs it should come with enough guylines and tent stakes to stake out the whole tent. I think I need to add 4 more stakes and a couple more guylines for real winter weather in the mountains whether that be here in Colorado or anywhere else. Otherwise you can feel the tent is sturdy. Fifth. It is by far the most taut set up tent I’ve ever owned. (And I own quite few!) this will help with wind and keep snow from loading on the tent. I dropped several large buckets of water all around the tent. The water beaded off. And did not soak through. The vestibule barely moved when I dumped about 3-4 gallons of water at once on it. Vestibules can be a spot where snow loads. I don’t see this being a problem (like on my TNF tent) when properly staked. I’d give it 5 stars if it had a little more width to it, but understand the weight to size issue in wanting to keep the tent light. Can’t wait to through on my skis and pack and head into the backcountry to really test it out. All in all probably own of the best thought out tents I own or have seen. Plenty of storage and places to hang gear. Easy set up with the exterior poles. It took me roughly 6 minutes to sent the tent up for the first time with the 2 cross poles and clips on the exterior plus the pole for the vestibule. I’ll never not use the vestibule so that will remain attached. I dig the heavy loop on top that you can use to anchor the tent on dicey terrain. It also comes in a nice compression sack. Unfortunately I can’t get it back in the way they do it. Lol. So it’s not as compact as when I first got it but still awesome nonetheless. Not my first piece of Nemo Gear and won’t be my last.

Tent Leaks, Does Not Hold up to Weather
4 years ago
We had high hopes for this tent, but we were highly disappointed in its inability to hold up to rain or snow. This is not a reliable 4-season tent. One night of snow lead to mild leaking, and one night of light rain lead to severe leaking from the tent ceiling, seams, floor, and sides. I could not believe how much water was steadily dripping straight into the tent, right onto our faces and sleeping bags. By the end of the night, all of our belongings were soaked and we were absolutely freezing on a 35 degree (Farenheight) night. I would not trust this tent for any kind of precipitation. I really wanted to like this tent, as the size and shape are nice; the material is just not of quality.
