Black Diamond Eldorado Standard Tent 2-Person 4-Season

Wish they made an attached vestibule edition. Otherwise, kinda perfect.

Finally dropped the money on a single wall after dragging The North Face VE-25 into the hills all the time. At 4-5 pounds lighter, my wife and I were expecting it to be a snug fit, but the Eldorado's wide footprint and steep sidewalls give plenty of space for two, with packs outside or in the vestibule. If I could change one thing, I'd have gotten the two-door option, if only for a little extra venting at the far end of the tent. It comes well sealed with good stakes and extra seam-grip for the exterior seams. Also comes with guyline, but it's surprising that you pay $600 for a tent and they only give you enough cord for half of the stake points. An inconvenience, but not a big deal. We slept warmer in very cold weather and had more space in the packs -- perfect.

I just returned from 5 days in the North Cascades and we had everything from a snowstorm, very cold conditions and some sunny bright weather. This tent weathered it all, and it was a snap to set up. There was minimal wind noise even during the worst of the storm we rode out in the tent. It packs down small and was a real treat to pack something so solid yet light. Well worth the money. -r

We tested our new Bibler in the early winter Canadian Rockies. It made a snow storm with gusting winds seem like nothing. It's super light, easy to pack, and really quiet. Single wall construction makes set up simple (done from the inside) and fast. It's all-weather resistant and ventilation is customizable. No rain fly hassle here. If we ever need another tent, it will definitely be a Bibler!

Awesome tent. Simple set up. Easily fits with a weeks work of gear IN your pack, not lashed to the outside.

This is my second Bibler Eldorado, replacing its sun and wind ravaged predecessor, now serving as a car camping and fair weather tent. The Eldorado can be a might moist and stuffy in terms of ventilation, but is light, sets up in a few minutes, is very wind and snow weight tolerant, has a small footprint and I love the cooking and storage vestibule--so many memories of rainy days and ramen cooked in the vestibule. I also like the attic, a hammock-like storage area at the top of the tent. The Eldorado costs a king's ransom, of course, but I know of no other 4 season tent I'd trust. Jonathan P., Seattle, Wash.

the bibler eldorado is the lightest, dryest, simplest tent you can buy. If you can afford the price, it will be the best tent you ever own.

I recently purchased the tent and returned it. It was very difficult to set up. The material seems fragile and looks like it could tear easily. I think its very overpriced.
