Superalloy Tent: 2-Person 3-Season

Lightweight/roomy, not quite 3-season

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Brought this tent to Lake Powell during the Spring after purchasing it. Powell can be the ultimate test for any tent, especially for longer stays. Here are my takeaways... Pros: Lightweight and roomy. Love this tent for summer backpacking. Easy to set up. Looks great for day and night photography too! Cons: The bottom edge of each door sits a bit too close to ground level, easily allowing blowing sand, dust, dirt up and inside, not to mention just tracking anything inside by accident. A bit higher would prevent some (not all, of course) debris from getting in. The lightweight material is not quite up for the task of withstanding those windy days/nights that Spring and Fall seasons tend to bring. Stronger gusts can cause the rainfly to react like a parachute, putting heavy stress on any lines holding it down. Obviously you'd want to set the tent up an any leeward spot if possible when there's any chance of wind. It's the love/hate relationship of owning a lightweight tent. Overall: I like this tent for summers, not necessarily for shoulder seasons.

Great light weight tent!

Really great tent. So light weight, and easy to set up. Have only spent one night in it, but it poured rain for about five hours straight, and I stayed dry and the wind didn’t seem to be an issue at all! Taking it on a week long section hike in Georgia next week. I also love the color! Never felt I was going to brush the walls during the night. The only reason for 4 stars is there is no way to pack it up in the rain without getting the tent body wet.

Loved it but!

Loved it, it did pretty well against water coming in. Definitely make sure the guy lines are tight though. It’s spacious enough for two people with mummy shaped sleeping pads. I used it for myself and with my wife. It can definitely be a comfortable one person. I wish they made it in different colors, the bright green is a little too green but it’s still a good tent.

Love It!

I have used this tent in rain, wind, warm temps, cool temps (25-30 degrees) and absolutely love it. The tent is super light weight for hiking and is able to fold up nice and tight to save room in your pack. Only CON are the silly pockets inside the tent which everyone complains about, but not a big deal to me as I store my small items elsewhere.

Took it out for an overnighter and impressed I was. Easy setup quality product. Wife loves the festive color

Good Tent with room for improvement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great tent. My first tent I purchased for backpacking actually. Super lightweight and easy to put up but left a lot to be desired after initial usage. The main con of this tent are the interior pockets. Lord is it annoying to have such useless pockets where everything just slides out of. A good pro is it has kept me pretty well throughout below freezing and the peak hotness of the summer. I have issues already though of the mesh getting some holes in it. I’m very careful with this tent packing it up and putting it down so I’m unsure what the cause of that is. Overall it’s a good tent but if I were to pick again I probably would’ve bought something else in this range.

Great light weight tent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how light and roomy the tent is. The 2 person SuperAlloy worked perfect for my 4day backpacking trip. It helped lighten my pack by 2 pounds, replacing my 4 pounds 2person tent. The structure has great headroom and kept me dry through a heavy downpour. Room inside tent for me and my pack. The vestibule was large enough to stow my camp chair at night and protect it from the rain. The tent came with 7 light weight stakes. I added two additional stakes to stake out the fly, which is optional. My only thought is the interior pockets were angled horizontal and were not ideal.

Super alloy 2 person tent

Nice light weight 2 person tent that's lighter than my one man tent. Good price ! I'm happy 😁

Better and bigger than my big agnes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I have so many tents. I have a few ultralight ones. This one is my favorite so far. The material seems to be just a bit better than big Agnes ultralight tents. I have way more room than my flycreek 2 and double vestibule. Probably only need one, but it is a 2 person tent. Love the colors and the weight. I didn’t think marmot could pull it off, but I’m in love.
