A few of the fantastic things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them simple to carry. In nearly all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward 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 the most common of all the various types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the top of the tent. The simplest dome tent should have a square footprint, sloped walls a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof. Due to their construction, it is typically considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Fitzroy 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. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Offers you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Black Diamond has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
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.

CONS

1. Lacking in Headroom. With 9% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of ToddTex Fabric but it is still best 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 Fitzroy 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
