Even though Dome tents have many qualities to rave about. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents Even though the Tetragon HD 3, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 6 pounds. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we looked. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 63D 190T Polyester taffeta but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain. Meaning it may not protect against heavy downpours. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Rainfly does not completely cover the tent.If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you need keep them inside the tent. Because of their construction, it is generally thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.īeneath you can find an account of the tent's strongest and weakest points. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the top. In calm weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.ĭome tents are the most commonly seen of all the various sorts of tents you will find when camping. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. The Tetragon HD 3 has one window and one door and a maximum center height of 4' 4, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 144 other 3 person tents we have examined With 49 square feet of room inside, it is a little bit larger than some other 3-person tents, and it should accommodate you and, up to two other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one generally make a suitable choice for people who enjoy spending heaps of hours outside the tent exploring.Ī few of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them simple to carry around.
