Solid 4-Season Tent

By WHA2831770 Ranked #168 - 4-Season Tents February 26, 2010

I have had the Asgard for a while now, and am always happy to bring it along on overnight trips. I have taken it up into the White Mountains of NH from Mid November through March (for summer trips I use my lighter GoLite Xanadu) and it is fantastic. As others have noted, it is super easy to set up, and there is a ton of room inside the tent and in the vestibules. I am 6'2" and 175lb and my friend who I hike with is around 6' and same weight, and we both easily fit in with room to spare. I really like the double vestibules, so we can each have our own, or have one strictly for gear and one for cooking, there is plenty of room to fire up my MSR XGK-EX stove without having to worry about the flame hitting the fly. Again, as others have said, it ventilates great. Have used it on -20F nights with winds up to 40 or 50 mph, and the tent is bombproof. We leave the top of the vestibules unzipped 8-12" and the inner door unzipped on the top half, with this set up, we have never woken up to much if any condensation inside the tent (the mesh doors do collect a fair bit though). It is a bit heavy, but we think it is worth it. The gear lofts that are included are great, and work very well with the pole design of the tent to create a really cavernous space inside. The one thing I am a bit skeptical about is the 2-3 person rating, given, we are both on the longer side, but I would call this a roomy 2 man, and I would take a different tent if I was going to be sleeping with two others.
