A few of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them easy to carry around. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, 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 easily the most commonly seen of all the various types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing water to roll off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the top of the tent. The most basic dome tent will have a square floor, slanted walls a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is typically thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.

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. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Offers you a place to store shoes and other things 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.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 29 square feet, the Manzanares 2 is smaller than quite a lot of the 204 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 12% 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 designed for the Manzanares 2 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.
