Big Agnes C Bar 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The C Bar 2 has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 5, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 204 various 2 person tents we have examined With 28 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, another camper throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one can make a very nice choice for people who like spending lots of hours outside their tent getting some air.

A few of the great points about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances lightweight, 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 can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most common of all the various types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The most basic dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of their construction, it is generally considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The C Bar 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. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Affords you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
4. Breathable. The C Bar's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the warmer months.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 28 square feet, the C Bar 2 is smaller than quite a lot of the 204 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 10% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some people.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately designed for the C Bar 2 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyester taffeta, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
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.
