ALPS Mountaineering Vertex 4 Backpacking Tent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this tent on Amazon for a little under $200 and for that price it is a good tent.My wife and two kids(4 & 7 yrs old) have backpacked with this tent twice already.It hasn't rained hard yet, but so far has been easy to use seems to be well made.

There are lighter, more expensive tents out there, but this one serves the purpose for <10 lbs.

ALPS Mountaineering Mystique 8- by 5-Foot Two- to Three-Person Lightweight Backpacking Tent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a GEARhead. I own or have owned over 30 tents plus all the fixings... Both backpacking as well as car camping. This tent as far as I know did not exist when I rewalked Colin Fletcher's 1000 Mile Summer through California. Had it, I would've of used the 1.5 model. After getting home and settling in from my walk I ran across both the 1.5 and 2. I own both now and can say they both are killer deals in their price range. And yes I own SD, REI, Kelty, Coleman/Exponent, Moss, Slumberjack Bivy (I used) and on and on and on... I have tried many while hiking in the Olympic Mountains in WA. I would put this model(s) up against any listed. If you have money to burn yes there are some that may be better at lasting a little longerbut I question that too... and yes you can go lighter in weight... but by going lighter you'll give up a lot of comfort and the security you get knowing that you have a shelter that will handle just about anything Mother nature throws at you. Alps other models I'm not sure of size VS. weight and the value VS. dollars. But this model is absolutely great.

Good luck on your hikes,
Hersh

Product Description:
The Mystique 2 utilizes a lightweight 2-pole design with shock corded 7000 series aluminum poles. The walls are a breathable nylon taffeta. The polyester fly and nylon floor are urethane coated, with factory sealed seams for maximum weatherproofness. Entry and exit are easy with 2 doors and 2 vestibules. We have added an additional rear fly zipper for our 2006 models to make getting in and out of your tent even easier. Ventilation is fantastic with the 2 large mesh doors and the end mesh panels. The full coverage fly keeps you dry in even the biggest rain storms and the large vestibules form "porches" to give you places to store extra gear ... and to look outside without getting soaked! A vent is placed on the end of the fly to increase ventilation even further. It has the option of being zipped open or closed, depending upon the weather. Mesh storage pockets are included inside the tent to help you keep track of your small valuables. Instructions are sewn into the tent storage bag so you never have to worry about not having them with you. All stakes and guy ropes are included.

New Alps Mountaineering Zephyr 2 Aluminum Poles Sage/Rust 3 Season 2 Person Tent With Rain Fly Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This tent was extremely easy to set up. The rain fly is a little more work, but within a few minutes its done. Tent could always use a little more room, but keeping it light weight is important. I packed this for 3 days and used it for 3 nights. It did well. Temps got down below freezing with a little wind and the tent kept us warm. Looks to be a great tent for warm summer nights because of the ventilation. The only complaint I have is with the hanging mesh storage compartment. The way it hooks on to the top of the tent, it slopes. Meaning stuff easily falls out. And being right above your head, well don't put anything of any weight in it. I like the tent and would recommend it.
