Cedar Ridge Aspen 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Aspen 2 has one window and one door and a peak center height of 4' 4, which is a tiny bit more than the average height of the 252 different 2 person tents we have examined With 37 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit larger than some other 2-person tents, and it should accommodate you and, another camper during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one make a very good choice for people that appreciate spending loads of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Some of the cool things about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking light, making them easy to carry around. In nearly 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 could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the other sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The most basic dome tent should have a square footprint, slanted sides a couple of poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is typically considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Aspen 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 ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. 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 Cedar Ridge adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
4. Has awnings. The awnings shelter the walls of the tent.
5. Breathable. The Aspen'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.

CONS

1. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately designed for the Aspen 2 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyethylene tub-style, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
2. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Aspen 2, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 7 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
3. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of qualities to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
