Little Perfect

By dEbO Ranked #485 - Tents June 7, 2010

I am a huge fan of ALPS Mountaineering because of the price, but most of all the quality and performance. I just purchased this tent for a 3 day, 50 mile hike and I couldn't have been more pleased with this tent. In the picture the Zephyr is the tent closest, and the further one is a MSR Hubba tent. The MSR Hubba runs about $285 and is just about the same as the Zephyr ins every way except it is almost double the price. The Zephyr never took me more than 1 minutes to set up, it offers a full mess upper structure for warm nights and star gazing with the optional wind, snow, and rain guard. There is a pocket on the inner side, and also a bonus small 6inch by 6inch mesh hammock to store a book, light, or what ever you want. I am 6.1" and I felt very comfortable in this tent with room to stretch and enough room to change clothing. The weight of this tent is unnoticeable, my only complaint is that I wish the it packed down just a little smaller. I bought this on steepandcheap for about $80 shipped and it simply was the best buy possible. You really cant go wrong with the Zeephyr, ALPS Mountaineering has proven themselves time and time again with the best prices and great quality products.
