hillary 2 room dome tent




This tent beyond the expectations of everyone. I was wondering, only stake at each corner. However, when correctly set up the tent very stable. Steel and fiberglass poles are heavy, and the configuration is easy with two people (only took about 10-15 minutes. With no instructions) rainfly is easy to operate and appears to cover all of the net. It did not rain on our trip. That seems to be of good quality nylon and is heavily stitched and taped.

The interior is very effective, thanks to the near vertical walls. I would expect to be comfortable with up to 4 people (we only have 2) We really liked the mesh roof, which is great for stargazing and ventilation. We also like the large mesh windows that can be compressed to privacy. There are large windows on each wall of the others in our group seemed to enjoy this camp, and expressed interest in getting just one.

Dry weather and windy day. We had winds up to about 30 miles per hour. And the tent never budged, I wonder if the rainfly has a lot to do to secure a man who seized power lines near the pole support.

Overall, I love this tent and found it hard to believe that anyone who does not like it. This tent is not designed to handle the wind. But anyone with common sense knows that you should not use a tent cabin, if you expect severe weather.
