Compact enough to match easily about the backpack or saddle bags, the tent is wonderful for a myriad of camping and situations. ]]> http://www.campingtentreviews.net/wenzel-ridgeline-7-x-7-feet-three-person-dome-tent/ Morrison 2 person tent. Mountainsmith used real world knowledge of campers to design and build the Morrison. The footprint of the Morrison is a monster 43”x 56”x 92’ totaling 35 square feet which allows you to place your gear with you or if you bring a dog along that likes to sleep at your feet. Dual vestibules also accommodate gear and pets by keeping them out of the rain or sun. Guidelines are reflective since everyone always trips over them. Ventilation is a breeze thanks to the ventilation mesh wall ports built into the Morrison. The rainfly even has ventilation ports if more airflow is needed. Clip construction makes it easy to connect the fabric body of the Morrison 2 to the 7000 series aluminum alloy poles. Mountainsmith further ensures watertight performance with fully taped, bathtub floor construction.]]> http://www.campingtentreviews.net/mountainsmith-morrison-2-tent/ Mountain Trails tent has continued to bring inexpensive outdoor products to public. Many people fear the quality of an item if it is cheaper in price than they were expecting. These however are the acceptation to the rule. The structural integrity is based on the two interlacing fiberglass poles. The poles are shock corded to allow great strength yet flexibility in the event of strong winds. The poles are anchored by a pin-and-ring system that makes setting up the tent a very quick and anger free event. This design makes rising and collapsing the tent almost as fast as on instant pop up tent yet since this can be parted out means the other three campers with you can bear some of the load.]]> http://www.campingtentreviews.net/mountain-trails-south-bend-9-by-7-foot-4-person-sport-dome-tent/ Eureka! Solitaire Tent is a great tent for those who want to be independent like me. I hate trying to hike in a four person four season tent if I am going solo or with a friend. It is such a waste of space on your pack as well as weight in which you will curse on a 3000’ascending mountain hike. Weight shed is key and all though I do own a very nice, light and expensive bivy sack I do find myself grabbing the Solitaire for the trails. There is something calming about having a roof although nylon over your head in a bad storm which I have road out in both kinds of shelters.]]> http://www.campingtentreviews.net/eureka-solitaire-tent-sleeps-1/ 2 person tent that takes in account that you might have gear with you. The 2XT is a free standing dome style tent that gives an almost square footprint of 7 feet, 6 inches by 4 feet, 11 inches. This size tent makes for a roomy excursion giving plenty of wiggle room for two. A majority of two person tents only give a little over two feet of shoulder space for each person which can become very annoying at times especially if the person your camping with has the tendency to have Bruce Lee Kung-Fu dreams where they spend four hours kicking you.]]> http://www.campingtentreviews.net/eureka-apex-2xt-tent-sleeps-2/ tent is built to pretty much be a vacation home if need be. The Cougar Flats II utilizes Columbia’s patented GoBe Dry rain protection system to ensure a nice dry indoors or inflaps I suppose. The GoBe dry system works by using waterproof tent wall materials as well as designing the tents stitching to be well removed from any area that could cause rain to seep in.]]> http://www.campingtentreviews.net/columbia-cougar-flats-ii-family-cabin-dome-tent/ Instant Tent can be set up or taken down in under one minute. It is quite impressive for such a large tent to be so convenient. Innovative one-piece design keeps the pre-attached poles to the tent, eliminating assembly time and the risk of losing important parts. To set the camping tent up just unfold the tent, spread the tents walls, extend the poles, click remaining loose walls to the attached poles, and lock, and your tent's ready to go. A ten-by-nine-foot footprint creates enough floor space for two full sized beds and more, while the six-foot center height means most campers can stand fully upright. Structural poles are durable and strong enough to stand up to forceful stiff winds.]]> http://www.campingtentreviews.net/coleman-6-person-instant-tent/
