What reviewers say

Treeline Review tested the 3P and found it roomy, sturdy in alpine thunderstorms and well ventilated, with a simple one-pole pitch, good pockets and zippers that resist snags. They note it is heavier than ultralight tents, its large footprint can be hard to fit on small sites, and the roll-top stuff sack is slow to repack. They suggest it for families, couples wanting extra room, or campers bringing a dog.

Good

  • Big rectangular floor
  • Handles storms well
  • Easy to pitch

Not so good

  • Expensive
  • Heavier than ultralight tents
  • Large footprint

Who it's for

Small groups and families who backpack and also car camp. Thru-hikers and ultralight hikers should look elsewhere.
