Black Diamond Eldorado 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Eldorado 2 has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 7, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 240 different 2 person tents we have studied. With 31 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, another camper all through the 4-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one often can make a superb choice for people who like spending lots of hours outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

A few of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

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

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Eldorado 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. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Black Diamond has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 31 square feet, the Eldorado 2 is smaller than quite a few of the 251 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 6% 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, there is one available separately specifically for the Eldorado 2 footprint Even though the floor may be made of ToddTex Fabric, 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. 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.
