The North Face Mountain 24

Had to give a send-off for my North Face Mountain 24 that has been sold to a new owner. Guy was going to camp in Sequoia and was going to buy the North Face Assault 3 that I bought recently and realized I didn't need. I offered him the Mountain 24 instead and she is off to Sequoia! Full review

Stephenson's Warmlite 3R

In space-per-weight, it's an awesome tent. For windy conditions, it's great—no collapsing or flexing walls you get with flexible poles. The rigid poles theory works very well. Summer forest, sand, snow, it's always super easy to set up (only two poles, sleeves not clips, only four stakes required for setup (more for windy conditions). Must be careful assembling poles—the thin-wall aluminum is light and strong, but edges are fragile. The pitch is very tight and easy to manage as conditions change. Full review

Clark North American

The best product I ever owned. And just the best of all methods of camping, in general. I came here mainly to tell that this kind of product — I mean: the principle of the tent-hammock in general (and particularly the Clark, of course, which is in the matter the summit of quality) — is the best thing I ever encountered in all my life of wilderness camper. And I can assure you that I have encountered also, often, the worse... :) My comrades and me, at blue-penguin.org, are owning a slightly different… Full review

Kodiak Canvas 10x10 Flex-Bow Canvas Tent Deluxe

I think this one of the best tents out there for car camping. Its most significant downsides—weight and packed size—are directly related to what makes it great, which is its durability and roominess. Even though it's not perfect—no tent is—I'm giving it five stars because it does everything I want it to do. Setup: Putting the tent up is simple but takes some muscle because the tent and poles are so heavy. The tent rolls out and should be staked down first. Then, the roof rods are put together,… Full review

Hilleberg Kaitum 4

The Hilleberg Kaitum 4 is a two-door, two-vestibule, four-person, four-season tent that comes in at a more than respectable 8 lbs 10 oz (that’s a lot of numbers) designed to maximize roominess while minimizing weight. The best part is that is manages to do both, without sacrificing weather proofing or durability. I’ve been unable to find any flaws with the Kaitum and have no doubt this tent will last through years of the hardest abuse. SETUP Even when setting up the tent alone it can be done… Full review

Cabela's XPG Ultralight 3P

Solid midweight tent for three. Moderately light for a three-person. Very roomy for two people, a little tight for three. Comes with everything you need—seam sealer, patches, footprint... 4 lbs 9 oz without the footprint. 5lbs 3 oz with footprint. Great DAC poles and stakes. Easy to set up, except for staking, which I only do all when needed! Breathes pretty well, some condensation inside, but it stays on the walls unless you brush up against them. Full review

REI Geo Mountain 4

I have owned my Geo Mountain tent for over twenty years. Yes, with four adult men it's somewhat tight regarding space. The number of pockets is fine. My number one activity is snow camping. Having all four people facing the same way will cause you to wake up with water drops falling on your head. Air circulation is fine when two of the campmates have their feet at the door and the other two have their feet in the opposite direction. When my children were young I carried the tent by myself on my… Full review

Sierra Designs Convert 2

Amazing all-around tent for three-season and four-season backpacking. I love this tent! I was in the market for a four-season tent, but I do a lot of backpacking and wanted something of a decent weight. Any four-season tent that is light, is single-walled and has poor ventilation (what I found in my research). The Convert allows me to have a four-season tent, light enough for packing, and still usable during the summer too. I've used this tent around the world in different rainstorms, snowstorms,… Full review

MSR Stormking

Beware of 'Unplanned Obsolescence'. Consider alternatives to PU-coated mountain tents. Flysheet horror show. We loved our Stormking tent when we used it for a week on the Isle of Arran. When we took it out of storage this week, for a winter camp in the Cuillin, we were shocked to find that the flysheet had deteriorated: the seam-tape was crumbling off and the PU coating was sticking to our hands. We contacted MSR, who told us to go away and chemically remove the PU and reseal the seams ourselves! Full review
