Wenzel Sprout 6 X 5-Feet Two-Person Children’s Dome Tent (Green/Blue/Red)

The Wenzel Sprout is a kid’s tent with true functionality. At 6 feet by 5 feet it will sleep two and has all the great features of a larger tent. The removable seam-sealed fly with mesh roof vents keeps the air circulating while the closeable mesh door and back window create cross breeze. The fabric is Weather Armor weather-resistant polyester with a polyurethane coating for toughness and reliability. The floor is welded polyethylene. Shockcorded fiberglass poles with pole pockets make set up quick and easy. Storage duffle and stakes are included. Specifications: • Base: 6 ft. x 5 ft. • Center Height: 38 in. • Area: 30 sq. ft. • Door: Dutch “D” style • Floor: welded polyethylene • Frame: fiberglass • Stakes: steel • Carry Weight: 4.3 lbs • Sleeps: 2

• 2-person children’s dome tent with removable fly
• Shock-corded fiberglass frame for easy setup
• Weather Armor polyester fabric and polyethylene floor
• Mesh roof vents, closeable mesh door, and back window
• Measures 6 x 3.2 x 5 feet (W x H x D); weighs 4.3 pounds

Offering all the features of an adult tent but at a smaller size, the Wenzel Sprout kids’ tent is a great choice for families who want to give their children a little extra independence at the campsite. The Sprout includes such features as a shock-corded fiberglass frame (with pole pockets) that sets up and disassembles quickly, a front Dutch D-style door that opens with one zip, and a removable seam-sealed fly. Campers will also appreciate the Weather Armor polyester fabric and welded polyethylene floor, which are reliably rugged and resist leaks of all kinds. Finally, the tent includes mesh roof vents, a closeable mesh door, and a back window that combine to ventilate the interior and create cross breezes. The Sprout comes with stakes and a duffel bag for storage. pbSpecifications:/bulliBase: 6 by 5 feet liCenter height: 38 inches liInterior space: 30 square feet liSleeps: 2 liWindows: 1 liDoor: Dutch D-style liFloor: Welded polyethylene liFrame: Fiberglass liCarrying weight: 4.3 pounds /ulpstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between.

At minimum, a quality three-season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are specifically designed for summer backpacking or other activities. Many premium tents will also feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain fly for enhanced waterproofing. p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types: freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and tents that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floorplan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being lighter. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group.

Wenzel Lone Elk Hiker 6.5 X 4-Feet One-Person Tent (Light Grey/Blue/Gold) CustomerReview

Wenzel Outdoor Products has recently made a change in their product line, replacing their Starlite model with the Lone Elk Hiker/Biker tent. The tents in this range are lightweight, and compact for hiking or cycling. Will this transition in products show improvement?br /br /FEATURESbr /Model #: 36418br /Base: 6.5 ft. x 4 ft.br /Center Height: 36 in. F / 24 in. Rbr /Area: 23 sq. ft.br /Sleeps: 1br /br /The new Lone Elk tent is one of the lightest tents in its pricepoint, and rivals other more expensive tents in features. In fact, at 1470g (3.25lbs), this tent is ideal for cyclocamping, s240s, or weekend backpacking… as long as the weather is fair.br /br /Wenzel Lone Elk Hiker/Biker Tentbr /br /The tweaked design of the Lone Elk has increased weight by four ounces, but has also included an additional bit of length and width for added comfort. While these attributes are key, a tent needs to be durable too. Keep on reading, in order to see how it stood up to its predecessor.br /br /Once again, this tent is not a self-standing structure. The two shockcorded fiberglass poles are easily guided through the tent supports and mount to the base with a pin and ring system. Three guy lines are used to allow the tent to stand. A complaint of the Starlite tent was that the guyline setup made entering the tent less than optimal for taller or larger users, this tent allows easy entrance without complications.br /br /The tent itself comprises of three different materials, not including the mesh vents. The top part of the dome is a thin, grey nylon which does well at keeping heat in, and blocking wind. The seams are in places which are at optimal angles in the event of rainfall. The second material is a thicker batch of nylon, and lends itself to maintaining the support and tension of the tent. The tarp material used at the base of the tent is thin, but clearly waterproof. I still use a footprint under the tent to keep another layer between the ground and I; this may not be necessary depending on what kind of pad you use under your sleeping bag.br /br /Inside the rear of the tent, there is a vent flap which can be zipped open or closed. The three nights that I spent in the tent for testing, I noticed with both the rear vent flap and front door vent (front only slightly open) open, condensation did accumulate, and took about two hours to evaporate after awakening. I attribute this to the nature of sleeping in a backpacking tent, not a flaw in design or architecture of the vents. The tent kept me considerably warm, and did everything else it was intended for.br /br /Review:br /br /This tent is 3lb4oz, and can be found for -25 online. It fits one person, and a backpack inside, and has a small vestibule-type overhang for a pack or shoes at the rear. It does not have a rain fly, therefore is solely meant for fair weather conditions. Tent setup takes ten minutes when done casually, and is quite sturdy with the design.br /br /Pros:br /br / * Lightweightbr / * Inexpensivebr / * Well Stitchedbr / * Small Pack Sizebr / * Availabilitybr /br /Cons:br /br / * Lack of true Vestibule, Porch, or Rainfly.br / * Tent Pole Length of 23 makes them awkward, but not difficult to pack.br /br /Once again, if you are not in the market for a 0 tent, this will do you well as long as you understand and accept its limitations. Since February, I have spent five nights in this tent provided to me by Wenzel since February, in weathers as cold as 20*F, and even bailed out on a sixth night that a thunderstorm sneak attacked me. As stated before, this is an ideal cyclocamping or backpacking tent for people who are already light in the wallet. The Lone Elk tent fills a very important role/genre in the area for people who are not yet willing to invest big money in camping gear, but still want to get their feet wet, figuratively… not literally.br /br /4 / 5 Stars.br /br /Photos and full review @ [...]br /P.S. – I was provided this tent pro-bono to review.

Wenzel Starlight 2-Person Hiker/Biker Tent CustomerReview

This tent is awesome for the price. I must recommend making a few alterations/additions. One is that I coating of waterproofing spray is a must as well as seam sealer. The low quality pegs should be switched out for some high quality aluminum ones. And if you do a lot of tenting you’ll want to switch out the guy ropes that are included for something more durable, I’ve not bothered to do so because they’ve held up through everything I’ve put them through. Though I do a lot of camping I only use my tent when I’m certain of an upcoming downpour.br /br /Otherwise this tent has been durable, comfortable and easy to use. It only sleeps one comfortably, two intimately. If you’re wanting room to sit up and hang out you best be going with a dome tent. This tent is a no silly business tent made for getting in and laying down. With that said, I love my tent and have weathered many a storm with it.br /br /Also for camouflage I spray painted the tent with the cheapest black spray paint I could find at walmart. It did not harm the tent or the waterproofing, I applied it before I put on the waterproofing spray though.

Wenzel Lone Tree Hiker Tent, Red/Black CustomerReview

Before you expect too much out of your tent, be sure you take a second look at the price.br /br /At .99, I am happy with the Wenzel Lone Tree tent. It met several requirements that I set in place.br /br /Original requirements…br /1. Free standing – if I lose a stake in the middle of the night it’s not going to crash on my head!br /2. Above average rain fly coverage – some tents only cover the tip top. This one has good coverage except on the door.br /3. Can fit me – I’m a tall dude. I’m 6′5″ and needed a tent that can hold me. The 7′ floor works well enough for a short trip. Note for other tall guys – the floor IS 7′, but the sides make some of that unusable for sleeping. Still, it’s long enough for me and it is tall enough I can easily sit up without hitting my head.br /4. Plenty of room inside for gear – this requirement was barely met. I can be in the tent with my pack and have a little room to spare. I know they call it a “2 person” but seriously, unless you are below average size and don’t mind keeping your stuff outside, this tent is for a single person.br /5. Light and packable on/in my backpack – Since I will be carrying my gear into the camp site I needed something light and portable.br /br /Things I would have liked…br /1. Deeper pole corner pockets would make setup easier for one personbr /2. Poles are functional, but I feel like I’m going to snap them every time I setup the tent. They are pretty low diameter and maybe a hair too long. After I try the tent in the field I may cut each pole down by a quarter inch. Not too much so the tent isn’t ridged, but enough to relax the poles slightly.br /3. Vestibule or some kind of ledge for shelter while getting into the tent. as it is, i will probably carry an extra poncho or something to make a temporary ledge in case it rains.br /br /Other little surprises…br /1. Rainfly was already waterproof taped and design is such that it handles upgrades like new poles and better stakes. I went ahead and sealed the tent seams anyway and around the tape. Plus, I used water repellent spray similar to another reviewer. I’d rather have it than not if it starts storming on me.br /2. Extra space in the tent bag. If you have ground cover that compresses well, it may fit in the bag. My tarp is a bit large, but a correctly sized pad would easily roll around the tent and slide into the pack.br /br /The only construction faults I have found so far were a single thread inside that needed to be cut off, and the ties that hold the poles to the tent are weak. A stitch already popped on one of them so be careful. I would have liked to not even have ties on the tent. Oh well…see second sentence of review for explanation.br /br /The beauty of the things I would have liked to have is that everything is available on more expensive tents. As a starter tent this thing is great.
