Swiss Gear St. Alban Family Dome Tent (Sage/Light Grey/Orange) CustomerReview

Just received the tent last friday, next day we took it camping in the High Uintas in Utah. The tent came with acceptable tent pegs, the thing is huge! I am used to backcountry, backpacking tents that are rated for two people and can barely truly fit that amount in, this thing is rated for eight but I think you could get 10 adults in there! I am pretty certain you could fit eight cots in there and still have some room. br /Set up is easy, instructions are printed on the inside of the tent bag, ventilation is great, and the rain fly covers everything that needs to be covered. It also comes well enough out from the tent entrance to allow three adults to stand under it and still be covered. I don’t think it is really a full three season high country tent, I just don’t trust it to be that water proof. For a family weekender though, it is fantastic, especially for the price. br /Next week is a desert trip, with the amount of ventilation and the sheer size of the inside I expect it to do even better (I do think this is more of a dry climate tent than a mountain climate tent, even though it kept us dry through a decent evening rain). br /I would highly recommend for anyone who needs a family tent and is planning on it being primarily for a weekend to a week type of trip. br /The only con I have with it is that the rain fly is not bigger and does not pull away fully from the main body of the tent. I see that as a possible weakness where water might come through a seam or window. br /

Lightweight, easy to set up, and versatile, the Wenzel Alpine three-person dome tent is a great choice for all types of camping and conditions. The Alpine includes such features as a three-pole pentadome design that creates a vestibule for gear storage and weather protection, a shock-corded fiberglass frame (with pole pockets) that sets up and disassembles quickly, and an integrated mud mat with a drainage strip to keep the tent clean.

Here are a few things to keep in mind: pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all-purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in. If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber, or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to buy something designed to handle more adversity. pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall, and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three-season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are specifically designed for summer backpacking or other activities. Many premium tents will also feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain fly for enhanced waterproofing. p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types: freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and tents that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floorplan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being lighter. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p

My husband was looking for a smaller tent that did not take an hour to assemble! Easy instructions and 15 minute set up time! Excellent quality. The outside front entry shoe “mat” has screen netting that lines against the tent so that if it rains it will not run into the tent! Loves this feature!

Wenzel Pine Ridge 10-by-8 Foot Four-to-Five-Person 2-Room Dome Tent CustomerReview

The tent itself is very nice. It is easy to setup with a minimum of 2 people. It is very roomy inside. I had three male adults in the tent and it was very comfortable. 3 average size male adults is very comfortable for this tent. 4 average size male adults would be just right. Overall, it is a very nice tent. Enjoyed my two weekends (4 nights) camping in this tent. It also held up well in light to medium rain. Haven’t been able to test it for heavier rain yet. br /br /The only downside is that there does seem to be a zipper problem. If you open the tent too fast or even normal speed it seems to get caught on the orange part which protects the zippers and keeps out moisture I presume. It didn’t get stuck to the point where I couldn’t take it out, but nevertheless, it does seem to be annoying. However, if you go slower opening the tent and mindful of that the orange part can get stuck, then this problem can be overlooked in my opinion.br /br /Despite this problem, I really like the tent. Excellent price for the size. Would have given it 5 out of 5 stars but would say it is 3.8-4.0 out of 5.0

I love this tent. I can set it up alone(or with the help of a 6 and 7 year old). We were in 2 storms the first time we used it and stayed dry. The only problem I can see is that when it rains and you unzip the door you may get a little water in the tent off the door. Once I realized this I now make sure we push the door out and it works,it stays dry.The amount of water was minimal and could be wiped up with a paper towel.

This tent is perfect for large families or smaller families with lots of gear. The Great Basin is made of rugged, weather-repellent Weather Armor polyester with a polyurethane coating for reliability, helping it keep water out and warmth in. The sonic sealed polyethylene tub-style floor is welded not sewn eliminating needle holes that create a potential area for water seepage. Double-stitched, lap-felled seams through out the body of the tent provide a shingle effect against water. All threads, zippers and webbing are treated with superior water repellency applications to enforce these critical areas. A variety of ventilation points, including two back to back Dutch D-style doors and two polyester mesh windows aided by an updraft ventilation system, provide excellent airflow. The Great Basin is also easy to set up, using a shock-corded fiberglass frame with a pin-and-ring system. Two gear lofts and two hanging pockets provide extra storage, and the removable fly with a hoop frame over the door provides added weather protection. Specifications: • Base: 18 ft. x 10 ft. • Center Height: 76 in. • Area: 159 sq. ft. • Doors: Back to back Dutch “D” style • Floor: Welded polyethylene • Frame: fiberglass • Stakes: steel and plastic • Carry Weight: 24 lbs • Sleeps: 9

Wenzel Great Basin 18 X 10-Feet Nine-Person Two-Room Family Dome Tent (Light Grey/Blue/Taupe) Specifications

Spacious and weather-resistant, the Wenzel Great Basin 18-by-10-foot dome tent sleeps up to nine campers in its two rooms, making it ideal for large families or smaller families with lots of gear. The Great Basin is made of rugged, weather-repellent Weather Armor polyester with a polyurethane coating for reliability, helping it keep water out and warmth in. The sonic-sealed polyethylene tub-style floor, meanwhile, is welded and not sewn, eliminating needle holes that might otherwise attract water seepage. And campers will love the variety of ventilation points–including two mesh back-to-back D-style doors and two polyester mesh windows–all of which are aided by an updraft ventilation system that improves the overall airflow. p The Great Basin is also easy to set up, with a shock-corded fiberglass frame and a pin-and-ring system. And when it comes time to hit the sheets, you can either create one huge sleeping room or roll down the divider curtain to create two separate rooms. The rooms can function as individual bedrooms for the campers or as a sleeping room and living room. Other details include two gear lofts for storage, two hanging pockets, a removable fly with a hoop frame over the door, and a storage duffel. pbSpecifications:/bulliBase: 18 by 10 feet liCenter height: 76 inches liArea: 159 square feet liCapacity: 9 people liStakes: Steel and plastic liCarrying weight: 24 pounds /ulpstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind: pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all-purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in. If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber, or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to buy something designed to handle more adversity. pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall, and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three-season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are specifically designed for summer backpacking or other activities. Many premium tents will also feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain fly for enhanced waterproofing. p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types: freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and tents that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floorplan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being lighter. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p


Wenzel Great Basin 18 X 10-Feet Nine-Person Two-Room Family Dome Tent (Light Grey/Blue/Taupe) CustomerReview

This is a great value for a family that wants to go camping and have plenty of room. It is large (LARGE) with plenty of room for people and “stuff”. It sets up easily, one can do it but 2 or 3 people make it a snap. The instructions are easy to follow, but it is pretty intuitive.br /br /Colors are good and the ventilation is fine. Do get a tarp to put underneath.br /br /I did seal it before going camping but we had some rain and it still leaked. No major flooding, but we got water in, mostly at the corners where there were peg loops sewn to the outside. The side windows also will let in water if not closed when it rains as there really isn’t any overhang.br /br /We also had some wind (nothing gale force, but more than a breeze) and the tent stood up fine. We went camping with another family and they had a tad more trouble with their setup (different tent), but with a few hours of rain on Saturday morning, the kids all had planty of room to play games and keep occupied. The rest of the time was easy campling and everyone had a blast.br /br /We are happy with the tent and looking forward to our next outing. I must admit that I wonder exactly how long this tent will last as it doen’t seem built for the long haul, but I am confident that we will get several years out of it and for the price, it provides a good value.

Then known as the Eureka Tent Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products–most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen–as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.p The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM “tent cities” just outside Binghamton. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the company’s annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.p In 1960, Eureka’s new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition.p For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary.p Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson and his team on two historic research expeditions to Mount Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history finding the remains of George Mallory, but the complete mystery remained unsolved. Returning in 2001 to search for more clues, the team found amazing historical artifacts which are now on display at the Smithsonian.pstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between.

I purchased this tent to backpack with my 3 kids. While this isn’t exactly a backpacking tent at 8.5 lbs, it’s really only about 1lb heavier than other 4 person backpacking tents I could find, all of which cost at least 3 times as much. The lightest 4 person tent I found was 0 and 7lbs, so I figured for a 0 savings I could deal with a little extra weight. br /br /I just used it for the first trip last weekend and it worked great. The tent part packed down nice and small and was compressed pretty easily, the only negative is that the poles are exceptionally long. I had to unzip the sleeping bag compartment a little and slide the poles down into it to get it in the pack (it’s a 65L pack with an expanding collar on top). When we got to the camp it was very easy to set up, even though I’d never done it before nor had any instructions. The tent looks good and is a great size, although 4 adults would be cozy in it (at 8′ wide, essentially each person gets 2′ of room which is plenty for a thermarest, but no extra for gear). br /br /And of course, it poured down rain the entire time. I’m happy to say the tent is 99% waterproof. After a night of heavy downpours I found 2 quarter sized spots of water in the tent, not enough to get anyone wet but I’ll probably go over it with seam sealer to be safe.br /br /Overall I’m happy with the performance and price, and although it’s not really meant to be used for backpacking, it will do the job in a pinch.

I just took this tent for its first run on a camping trip this weekend and I’m pleased to say that it fulfilled all my expectations. br /br /The tent and all the accessories fit nicely into the included carrying bag, I’m glad they didn’t try and stuff everything into a smaller bag that I’d never be able to fit it into again. It’s nice and compact, I bought this tent for motorcycle camping on a medium cruiser without big saddlebags or luggage and it’s perfect for this function.br /br /I hadn’t taken it out its package before I got to the camp site, so it was basically a trial by fire rushing to get it up at dusk. As expected, setup was very straightforward and it went up quickly. I had to pop the rainfly on in the middle of the night when it started raining, and that was a piece of cake as well. The construction was sound, the tent poles were fine, no issues there. The fabric and seams were very well put together and tight for a tent in this price category.br /br /It rained fairly heavily on the last morning, and I didn’t get any leakage, except a tiny bit around the door area when I had to open the window cover and when I had to step out of the tent a few times briefly. The rainfly doesn’t do much for covering the door area, as the door slopes outward towards the bottom, and it simply doesn’t cover it enough. A setup that would allow at least another 6-10 inches of cover would make this tent perfect. This is the only drawback of this tent, albeit a small one. The floor of the tent is tough and watertight, though not a bathtub style, it still comes up a couple inches or so when staked properly to protect from average runoff.br /br /As far as space is concerned, i know this is advertised as a 2 man tent, but this is stretching it in my opinion. This is a very comfortable 1 person tent, with room to sleep and put your pack and a few other things. I’m 6 foot, and a big guy and I had no issues with space.br /br /I had to pack this tent up in the rain, and it was a breeze to quickly roll up and stuff everything into the bag it came with.br /br /In summary, this is a great little tent for the money and should meet the needs of all but the most hardcore backpackers.
