Black Diamond Mega 4 Person Snow A-frame Tent Review

The Mega 4 Snow is Black Diamond's largest tent, and it has one window and one door and a peak center height of 1' 5, which is 44 inches less than the average height of the 160 other 4 person tents we have examined With 78 square feet of space inside, it is considerably larger than some other 4-person tents, and it easily offers enough room for you and, up to three other campers all through the 4-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can generally make a great choice for campers that welcome spending heaps of hours outside their tent getting some air.

Some of the great points about a-frame tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them easy to carry. In near all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the a-frame type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

A-frame tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the various types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to roll off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the top of the tent. The simplest a-frame tent will have a square floor, slanted walls a couple of poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is typically considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. 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.
2. Low price. It is a great deal for a 4 person a-frame tent that provides this much room. Not many tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $449.95

CONS

1. Lacking in Headroom. With 44% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some people.
2. Only one door. With just one exit to get out in the middle of the night, it may disturb other campers that are sleeping.
3. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you will have to keep them inside the tent.
4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of tough fabric but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
5. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures website the last time we checked.
