A few of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances lightweight, making them simple to carry around. In most 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 guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to roll off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the top of the tent. The most basic dome tent will have a square footprint, slanted sides a couple of poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Rabbit Ears 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. Internal storage. It is nice to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
3. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 0mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.
4. Available in other sizes. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
5. Low price. It is a great deal for a 4 person dome tent that provides this much space. Not many tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $269.95

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 60 square feet, the Rabbit Ears 4 is smaller than quite a lot of the 134 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you need store them inside the tent.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Rabbit Ears 4 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Ripstop polyester, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Rabbit Ears 4, 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
5. 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.
6. Storage Space. because of the size of the tent, one cannot store much gear inside..
