Alps Mountaineering Tasmanian 3 Person Dome Tent Review

The Tasmanian 3 has two doors and a peak center height of 4' 6, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 139 different 3 person tents we have examined With 44 square feet of room inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to two other campers during the whole of the 4-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can generally make a fantastic choice for people who welcome spending lots of hours outside their tent getting some air.

Some of the great points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking not too heavy, making them easy 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 calm weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the top of the tent. The simplest dome tent will have a square floor, sloped sides two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is generally thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Tasmanian can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is good 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. 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 tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 5000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
6. 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 downpours.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 44 square feet, the Tasmanian 3 is smaller than quite a lot of the 139 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Tasmanian 3 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 3, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 9 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of things to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
