Big Agnes Sheep Mountain 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Sheep Mountain 2 has two doors and a peak center height of 3' 6, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 251 different 2 person tents we have studied. With 33 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, another camper all through the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one make a really nice choice for people who welcome spending loads of hours outside of their tent exploring.

A few of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them simple to carry. In nearly all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In good weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the other types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the roof. The most straightforward dome tent should have a square floor, sloped walls a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Beneath you can see an account of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Sheep Mountain 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. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you a place to store shoes and other items 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 stuff.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. 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 1500mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.
6. Other sizes are available. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
7. Low price. It is a great purchase for a 2 person dome tent providing this much space. Not many tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $349.95

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 33 square feet, the Sheep Mountain 2 is smaller than quite a few of the 262 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 7% 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, The floor may be made of Polyester Oxford but it is still best 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 website the last time we looked.
5. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Sheep Mountain 2, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 7 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
6. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many attributes to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
