A few of the fantastic things about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them simple to carry. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In good weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the various sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in storms than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the roof.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Alpenlite XT 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 a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Eureka has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
4. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 70D 190T Nylon 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 3000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.
5. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1800mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.

3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 70D 190T Nylon taffeta but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Alpenlite XT 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
