Aeros 3P Used For Moto Camping

By kevin_alexander642259903 Ranked #1055 - 3-Season Tents July 4, 2009

I use the Aeros 3P for moto camping off my motorcycle, so while my needs are the same as a backpacker or hiker, my priorities are a a bit different. Set up is quick and straight forward; wonderfully simple. Ventilation is excellent!! Pack size is only Ok. The folded pole lengths are 20 to 21 inches, tent and rain fly can be folded to not exceed that. That length is too long to fit inside my panniers, instead, it goes into a water proof Granite Gear roll top bag (large) to be strapped onto the tail. Pack weight isn't that big of a deal for me. The USABLE interior floor space is HUGE!!! That is a MAJOR plus if I'm unloading the bike into the tent and staying for few days, or laying out wet gear to dry (goes back to excellent ventilation) Interior height is also HUGE!! MUCH room to move around in, even with a gear loft. Near vertical sidewalls add to usable interior space. Not to knock a proper foot print, but a 6x8 tarp works just as well for this tent, but probably adds weight and pack bulk. Excellent tent.... I HIGHLY recomend for moto camping.
