Big Agnes Tensleep Station 4 Person Dome Tent Review

The Tensleep Station 4 has one window and two doors and a maximum center height of 5' 8, which is a tiny bit bigger than the average height of the 134 various 4 person tents we have examined With 65 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit larger than some other 4-person tents, and it should accommodate you and, up to three other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can make an awesome choice for campers who like spending lots of time outside exploring the great outdoors.

Some of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances lightweight, making them simple to carry around. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, 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 recommended.

Dome tents are easily the most common of all the different types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the roof. The most straightforward dome tent will have a square floor, sloped 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 ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

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

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Tensleep Station 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 floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is nice to see Big Agnes adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
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.
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 0mm. 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 deal for a 4 person dome tent that provides this much space. Not many tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $449.95

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Tensleep Station may not do best in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Tensleep Station 4 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Coated ripstop polyester, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
3. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we checked.
4. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Tensleep Station 4, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 18 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many attributes to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Big Agnes's Tensleep Station 4 tent is perfect for car camping. There are a few other nice points not noted above which, we noticed and liked, while reviewing the model: Two fly vents for increased airflow and reduced condensation; fully closable in extreme weather , Oversized 3-D bin pockets provide ample storage without encroaching on your livable space and All seams taped with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape (No PVC or VOC's).

Value for money: When considering value for your dollar, this tent is cheaper than the usual cost of all the one hundred and fifty-four, four-person tents we have taken a look at, this just by itself does not make it good value for money.
