Nemo Equipment Spike 2 Person A-frame Tent Review

The Spike 2 has one door and a peak center height of 3' 11, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 235 other 2 person tents we have examined With 41 square feet of room inside, it is a lot larger than some other 2-person tents, and it easily offers enough room for you and, another camper during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one make a good choice for campers who love spending lots of time outside the tent exploring.

Many of the cool things about a-frame tents are, that they are for, the most part not too heavy, making them easy to carry around. In near all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the a-frame type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you could 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 find when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the roof. The simplest a-frame tent will have a rectangular footprint, slanted sides two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is generally considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.
