The Boulder 2 has two windows and two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 9, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 204 various 2 person tents we have examined With 33 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 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one generally make a very good choice for campers who love spending heaps of time outside the tent exploring.

Some of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking not too heavy, making them easy to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm 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 other types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather 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 simplest dome tent will have a rectangular 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 best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Boulder 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 floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is good to see Browning Camping 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. More than one window. With 2 windows it is simple to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
6. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 75D 185T polyester taffeta, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 5000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
7. Breathable. The Boulder's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the warmer months.
8. 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 1500mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.
9. Low price. It is a great purchase for a 2 person dome tent providing this much space. Not many tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $259.98

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 33 square feet, the Boulder 2 is smaller than quite a lot of the 204 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 campers.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately designed for the Boulder 2 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 75D 185T polyester taffeta, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Boulder 2, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 8 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of qualities to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
