Big Agnes Manzanares 1 Person HV SL mtnGLO Dome Tent Review

The Manzanares 1 HV SL mtnGLO has one door and a peak center height of 3' 2, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 68 various 1 person tents we have examined With 20 square feet of space inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you all through the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one generally make a great choice for people that enjoy spending loads of hours outside the tent exploring.

A few of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them easy to carry around. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In good weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the different sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the rain to pool on the top of the tent. The most straightforward dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, sloped sides a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is usually considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Manzanares HV SL mtnGLO 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 ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Offers you a place to store shoes and other things 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 things.
4. Breathable. The Manzanares'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 summer.
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 1200mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.
6. Available in other sizes. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
7. Low price. It is a great purchase for a 1 person dome tent providing this much room. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $299.95

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 20 square feet, the Manzanares 1 is smaller than quite a few of the 68 other 1 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 6% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Manzanares 1 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyester taffeta, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of things to be positive about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Big Agnes's Manzanares 1 HV SL mtnGLO tent is great for backpacking. There are a couple of other points not noted above which, were noticed and liked, while reviewing the model: Features patent-pending mtnGLO Tent Light Technology using durable LED lights to illuminate the interior of your tent with enough light to sort gear, play cards and hang out with friends without blinding them with a headlamp, Roomy shelters designed with steep walls that increase structure strength and allow for more livable space without adding weight and Ready to pitch; with pre-cut guy lines and tensioners attached to the fly.

Value for money: In terms of value for your money, this tent is cheaper than the normal cost of all the one hundred and six, one-person tents we have taken a look at, this just by itself does not make it great value for money. We also need to think about other things in-depth, as we do with each tent.

When we determine the ratings of a single tent, we scrutinize plenty of data points, searching for things where the tent could beat out other near-identical tents and where it is lacking. In this case, with a total score of 4.2 and the price knowledge above, we can spot that with a price of $299.95 The Manzanares 1 HV SL mtnGLO is a decent deal and competitively priced in comparison with comparable tents.

It is also worth thinking about the fact that it is marked down by 0% from the manufactures suggested price. It should make a superb choice for most campers searching for a comfy three-season backpacking tent to go camping in, that will serve you well for years to come.
