Perfect low elevation windy rain-fest expedition tent
3 weeks ago
I just took this tent on an 11 day Tatshenshini/Alsek river trip through Canada and Alaska. It powered through 30mph wind and 48 hours of continuous rain. The trango material feels super burly which makes me feel a lot better about the cost. Guy out points are great with Velcro straps on the inside to wrap around the poles which provides amazing stabilization in wind. The rain fly never leaked, the seams are sealed, 10/10 water protection. I love the floor print design that tucks in under the tent pole connections. The tent poles themselves feel premium and you can tell they can take some serious abuse. Overall I give this tent 4.5 stars because of three minor inconveniences. The door zippers are terrible. They don’t glide and feel like they get stuck every few inches. I can’t tell if this is by design to be extra tight/hard to zip for storm protection. The second inconvenience is the design of the top horizontal short pole. It doesn’t have a way to connect to the main 4 way pole system. You have to weasel out of the tent or the pole scrapes against your back. You can’t pee standing from inside your tent (which is not a design defect but I like to do it). Lastly I wish there was a vent on the top of the tent. The two vestibule door vents are small and I feel like adding one more that you can open up during condensation nights would be sweet. Overall this tent is PERFECT for what it is designed to be - an all season workhorse. When you set this up you immediately know it will keep you alive through some serious storms. Not very many 4 season tents have two doors and two entrance vestibule. Very happy with this purchase and have recommended it to a lot of friends who need a specific use case: a 4 season type tent that isn’t designed to be used in high elevation snowy conditions. If you’re planning a windy rain-fest low elevation expedition where comfort matters more than weight this is your tent!
Yes , I recommend this product
