Alps Mountaineering Tasmanian 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Tasmanian 2 has two windows and two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 10, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 204 different 2 person tents we have examined With 35 square feet of room inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, another camper during the whole of the 4-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one often can make an excellent choice for people that love spending loads of hours outside of their tent exploring.

Many of the great points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking not too heavy, making them simple to carry. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the various sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof. The simplest dome tent should have a rectangular floor, slanted walls a couple of poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Tasmanian can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Offers you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is nice to see Alps Mountaineering adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is simpler to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. More than one window. With 2 openings it is easier to keep the tent cooler on a hot summers night.
6. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 75D 185T poly taffeta, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 5000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
7. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the entire body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1500mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.

11. Low price. It is a great buy for a 2 person dome tent providing this much space. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $249.99

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 35 square feet, the Tasmanian 2 is smaller than quite a lot of the 204 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately designed for the Tasmanian 2 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 75D 185T poly taffeta, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
3. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Tasmanian 2, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 7 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of attributes to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Alps Mountaineering's Tasmanian 2 tent is really good for base camp and expeditions. Here are a couple of other cool things not already mentioned above which, we noticed and liked, while reviewing the model: With an additional pole on the fly, it creates a very large vestibule on the front for even more gear storage., The Tasmanian uses extra-large #8 zippers so opening doors and vestibules are a breeze every time. and Easy entry and great ventilation with two doors (both with zippered mesh windows).

With superb ratings, lots of reviews and a center height of 3' and 35 square feet of space to enjoy, this tent is like your very own little home away from home. It enables you to enjoy some really enjoyable time camping. We found a decent amount of pros about the tent that you can check out above.

Value for money: In so much as value for your dollar, this tent is a cheaper than the normal cost of all the two hundred and eighty-five, two-person tents we have taken a look at, this alone does not make it good value for money.
