Big Agnes Tiger Wall 3 Person UL3 mtnGLO Dome Tent Review

The Tiger Wall 3 UL3 mtnGLO has two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 6, which is 12 inches smaller than the average height of the 139 different 3 person tents we have studied. With 38 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, up to two other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one make a very nice choice for people who prefer spending plenty 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 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 can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the different types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the rain pooling on the top. The most straightforward dome tent should have a rectangular floor, slanted walls two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to their construction, it is usually considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
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 gear.
3. 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.
4. 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 1200mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.
5. Other sizes are available. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 38 square feet, the Tiger Wall 3 is smaller than quite a few of the 139 other 3 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 people.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Tiger Wall 3 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Silicone-treated ripstop nylon, 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.
