Coleman Weathermaster Tent: Asolo Ptarmigan 3 Person Three Season Tent Review

Average Reviews:
4.3 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I went on a three day 23 mile hiking trip a few weeks ago, and I decided to buy a tent. It is a very crucial part of the camping experience since it was going to be what kept me, my friend, and our equipment hot or cool/and DRY.After researching various outfitter stores, dicks, sportsman's warehouse, wal-mart, target, you name it, I couldn't find a good tent that was comfortable for two people, and fit my budget. They were either too big, too cheaply madeORToo small, very well-built, and too expensive. Im 6ft 175lbs, and the two person tent at the outfitters was more like 3 season one person tent that cost $399.99. So I decided to stop wasting my time and go to Amazon.com. I researched 2 person tents. I ended up choosing this one for several reasons. The fist is the space, It's a 3-person dome that comfortably houses 2 with plenty of room for spreading out and your gear and sitting upright without smacking your head on the ceiling. It even comes with a niftygear hammock you can clip to the ceiling. The second is that the orange rain fly, and the tent itself, are designed like a mountaineering tent. It clips in very easily to all six sides of the dome, and resists rain and wind very well. Search for "expedition tent and see how much they are, this will do the same job against wind in rain, but maybe not in the Himalayas. It is 4-season tent, It is heat seamed and has plenty of zip down windows with bug netting. It also has a nice-sized vestibule in the front for storing your gear and muddy boots if it gets rainy. It comes with lightweightaluminum stakes and a set of 4 aluminum poles. 3 for the tent, and 1 for the vestibule. The tent, the stakes, and the poles weigh about 8.5 pounds, which is good for backpacking. The brand Asolo is most commonly recognized as an Italian hiking boot-maker company, but this tent comes from a company with licensing agreement with Asolo, a Canadian tent maker named Asolo adventure gear. This is not an Italian Asolo product per se, but its quality is reflected in the name, which is surprisingly very good. The tent itself is actually made in China. ButBottom line is; This is a $250 sold on amazon for $189. It is 4-season-expedition-style tent, it is spacious, has cool features, and is DRY. Before you go out and spend $400-$1000 on a north face, MSR, REI, or any of that nonsense, I encourage you to consider this tent, I am extremely pleased with it. My buddy who bought the north face minibus 23, isn't after he saw my tent.
