Big Agnes Scout 1 Person Platinum A Frame Tent Review

The Scout 1 Platinum has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 5, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 68 other 1 person tents we have studied. With 16 square feet of space inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one make a great choice for people who welcome spending plenty of time outside their tent getting some air.

Some of the great points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are the most common of all the other sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the top. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 16 square feet, the Scout 1 is smaller than quite a few of the 68 other 1 person tents we have looked at.
2. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you will have to keep them inside the tent.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Scout 1 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Silicone-treated nylon ripstop, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we looked.
5. Storage Space. Due to the size of the tent, one cannot store much stuff inside..
