Why We Like The Black Diamond Bombshelter Tent

The Black Diamond Bombshelter is a state-of-the-art, four-person, four-season single-wall tent with a storm-proof design. Aconcagua? Yeah, been there. Everest? Sure, done that. What about gusting winds and four feet of snow? Yep, the Bombshelter can handle that, too. True to its name, this tent is virtually unbeatable in the mountains, or anywhere for that matter. When we're looking for the ideal team-mountaineering or base-camp tent, it's hard to find one that's stronger or lighter than the Bombshelter.

Quality Expedition/Alpine Tent

Bought this tent for a Denali expedition and have also used it backpacking & for summer alpine adventures (above 9,000ft). For Denali, I was glad to have brought this tent & would bring it again. I put seem-sealer on all the seams for extra strength, brought lots of guy-lines (only ended up using about half of them), and practiced setting up the tent on some backpacking trips to get a feel for it. On Denali, I really appreciated how fast it was to setup (about 5 minutes) so we could get out of the cold faster. It had lots of strong & reinforced tie-down points (appreciated their toughness as pulling/chipping frozen guy lines out of the ice wasn't always easy). The tent poles/structure is pretty rigid when setup & the tent fabric is also pretty taught when setup so it didn't need much guying out and it didn't move/shake as much in wind (ear plugs were still nice for high wind). The bright yellow tent material was great for team moral on stormy days (always feels bright & sunny inside the tent). The yellow Todd-Tex fabric felt pretty tough and waterproof (the yellow Todd-Tex fabric over the main body seems more waterproof than the grey vestibule material which feels like it maybe has a urethane coating on the inside). The yellow Todd-Tex fabric did get a lot of frost/condensation by morning (mostly just by our heads). I brought a spong to soak it up, and that worked perfect. The tent fit 2 very comfortably with all our winter-camping gear inside along the perimeter of the tent. Fits 3 with some winter camping gear in both vestibules. We fit 5 with no gear in the tent while playing cards during storm days. For non-snowy summer alpine adventures (above 9,000ft), it fits 3 very comfortably with summer gear in one vestibule. Can get a little hot inside in the middle of the day, but it's nice to be a little warmer at night. The large vestibule has a U-shaped zipper that is a little harder to enter/exit in the summer (b/c you can't dig a snow pit in front of the door), so I usually have guests use the other vestibule (with the straight zipper) to enter/exit.

The BD Bombshelter Earns it Name

A true 4-man 4-season expedition tent. The pole design is rugged and the materials are tough. The weight is very competitive for a 4-man 4-season, in part because of the single wall design. Condensation is always a risk with a single wall design, but so far none of my expeditions in the North Cascades have suffered from any significant amount. As far as the size goes, this tent does accommodate four medium-size climbers without gear. I prefer to limit the party to three, which leaves a little room inside the tent for essential and eliminates the need to climb over your partner when entering/exiting the tent. The only reason I don't give this five stars is that the pole pockets are slightly undersized for proper pole retention, and the design of the pole cross-over ties could be improved for better retention.
