Big Agnes Blacktail 2 Person Hotel Dome Tent Review

The Blacktail 2 Hotel has two doors and a peak center height of 3' 6, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 218 other 2 person tents we have examined With 33 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, another camper during the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one make an ideal choice for campers who enjoy spending lots of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

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

Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the various types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the top of the tent. The most straightforward dome tent should have a square footprint, slanted walls a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of their construction, it is typically thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Blacktail Hotel 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 somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
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. 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 roomy. With a floor area of 33 square feet, the Blacktail 2 is smaller than quite a lot of the 218 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 8% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some campers.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Blacktail 2 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyester, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many things to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
