Vista Tent - 3 Person by Black Diamond Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I finally got around to testing this tent under a number of different circumstances after I purchased it a couple of months ago.
First it's quite spacey and like most 3 person tents it is verycomfortable with two people.
The vestibules could have come a bit larger as there is not that much space to leave your backpack.
I like the the two doors.Makes it easier to get out when you don't have to crawl over the other person in the tent.
Although the external doors are fitted somewhat a bit awkward -meaning not exactly over the inner doors.So you kinda have to get around from one end to the other somehow.
All the mesh is nice if you want to watch the stars at night for instance but if it does get cold it can become a bit breathy in there,with the fly over it that is.
So definetly not more than a 3season tent,maybe even more like a 2 1/2 season one depending on where you camp.
I used it in the Australian outback/bush and in the mountains,in sun and hot tropical conditions and in pouring rain and mountain chills.
It performed very well in the rain but you need to have a good footprint.
I tried some polyester tarp stuff but because of the different size at the ends I have decided to order the original footprint from Backcountry.
Overall it is a good lightweight tent for camping and hiking but not for really cold weather (have a marmot pinnacle sleepingbag and good mat).
The one thing that is really strange is it seems to attract large crowds of flies,sandflies,and the like-must be because of the colour(?) I guess.
Can become a bit annoying depending on where you stay.
and they could have added a couple of spare pegs.
But in that price range a reliable and easy to put up lightweight option which performs well in rain.
