Wenzel Alpine 8.5 X 8-Feet Dome Tent (Light Grey/Blue/Gold) Specifications

Lightweight, easy to set up, and versatile, the Wenzel Alpine three-person dome tent is a great choice for all types of camping and conditions. The Alpine includes such features as a three-pole pentadome design that creates a vestibule for gear storage and weather protection, a shock-corded fiberglass frame (with pole pockets) that sets up and disassembles quickly, and an integrated mud mat with a drainage strip to keep the tent clean. Campers will also appreciate the Weather Armor polyester fabric and sonic-sealed polyethylene tub-style floor, which are reliably rugged and resist leaks of all kinds. The closeable mesh windows and D-style front door, meanwhile, do a nice job of ventilating the tent and controlling morning moisture. Additional details include double-stitched seams, a gear loft for smaller items, a hanging pocket, and a duffel bag for storage. pbSpecifications/bulliBase: 8.5 by 8 feet liCenter height: 48 inches liInterior space: 49 square feet liSleeps: 3 liWindows 2 liDoor: Dutch D-style liFloor: Welded polyethylene liFrame: Fiberglass liCarrying weight: 8 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. Here are a few things to keep in mind: pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all-purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in. If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber, or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to buy something designed to handle more adversity. pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall, and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. 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. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p

Wenzel Alpine 8.5 X 8-Feet Dome Tent (Light Grey/Blue/Gold) CustomerReview

So I took my tent out for a bachelor party weekend for my future brother in law back in March 2010 for a long weekend. Thankfully, I had the foresight to do a trial run to work out how to put the tent together because this was my first 5 sided tent. Setup was a breeze!!! Only problem I had was putting the rain cover on because I put it on facing the wrong way. It did better than expected because I set up my tent on wet ground and never felt wet the whole time. No moisture got in which is awesome when it got down to the 30s and I stayed dry. I have had a Wenzel sleeping bag for at least 15 years which is why I went with them for this tent. I will definitely use them again!

Wenzel Pinon Sport 7-by 7-Foot Three-Person Dome Tent Specifications

Nicely lightweight and easy to set up and breakdown, the sporty Wenzel Pinon dome-style tent is a great choice for a weekend car camping outing. It features a generously sized single room that measures 7 by 7 feet–great for storing lots of gear–and a 50-inch maximum height. In addition to the good-sized D-style door (with a mesh window covering half of it), this tent also includes a window on the back for cross-current ventilation. The interior is quite spare, with only a small gear pocket in one corner near the door.p Setting up the tent was easy, for the most part, and we erected the tent (with its two shock-corded fiberglass poles) in under five minutes. The one impediment to an even faster assembly was the heavy-duty nylon corner pockets that secure the poles, which included a polyester-reinforced interior flap that’s not seamed at the top of the entry. Thus, we had a tougher time than we should have trying to make correct purchase with the pocket, continually hitting the space between the nylon pocket and the interior poly pocket.p But we could forgive this slight design flaw for such a nicely light and easily backpacked tent. This tent also includes a fly that offers a good coverage area, including a bit of an extended cover over the door and back window. While we didn’t have rain during our testing, we did use a sprinkler for an extended period, and were pleased to note that the fly ably handled the water run off, guiding it away from the bottom of the tent. To improve this tent’s weather resistance, it’s recommended that you use seam sealer to coat all exposed seams, applying only to the underside of the fly and inside the seams of the tent.p Overall, the Wenzel Pinon is a good choice for car campers and for the occasional hiked excursion. While it won’t stand up to the worst that Mother Nature can throw your way, it should handle a decent amount of rain. And its ample 49 square foot interior will hold two good-sized adults and a good amount of gear. i–Agen G.N.

Just received this and set it up, Set-up was easy as could be, didn’t even need the directions. Only gripe I would have is that assembly poles are much thinner than a previous Wenzel that we currently own. None the less, I hope this own lasts as long as the other one (15+ years) On a completely different note: I used a seam sealer with the applicator tip (wow, that was lame) after getting most of it on the floor I decided to use a fuzzy yellow flat trim disposable brush (1 inch wide) Let me tell ya, that worked like a champ and gave a nice thick even seal all around. In addition, I used scotchgard for fabric on the outside to add that extra protection (BTW, go to [...] and get a off coupon) then go to big lots (of all places) and get the stuff for a can!!!! That’s a deal! Happy Trails Y’all!

Wenzel Ponderosa 10- by 8-Foot Four-Person Two-Room Dome Tent Specifications

Great for hiking and biking trips, the Ponderosa two-room tent is lightweight enough at 10.8 pounds to carry on a backpack or saddle bags yet spacious enough to sleep four people at once. The tent base measures 10 feet by 8 feet, with a height in the center of 60 inches–more than enough space for an informal game of cards at midnight. The removable divider curtain, meanwhile, adds a bit of privacy in crowded conditions. Construction details range from a shock-corded fiberglass frame with a pin and ring connection to a weather-armor polyester fabric with a polyurethane coating. The frame is designed for quick and easy setup–a far cry from the clunky frames of yesteryear–while the coated fabric is reliable and sturdy regardless of the weather. p And should the rains come pouring down, the tent’s armor-tough seams and water-repellent threads, zippers, and webbing stand ready to resist. The tent even includes sonic-sealed floors that are welded (not sewn) to eliminate stitch and needle holes, ensuring that water from rain-soaked dirt won’t sneak in. Additional details include three windows (two in the front and one in the rear), Dutch D-style doors for easy entry from either side of the tent, and four mesh roof vents for circulation and moisture control. The Ponderosa is backed by a 10-year limited warranty.pstrongfont 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.

I did my research and found this tent would fit my needs perfectly. i was going to take my 2 daughters camping and needed some room for them and their junk. Tent came super fast and box wasnt as big as i thought it would be. Perfect because i have to carry everything myself.br /br / I didnt get a chance to pre-assemble it because i live in an apartment and its way to big to set up in my living room. I read the instructions and it seemed pretty simple. When it came time to put it up, i was going to have only my 8yr old help me out !br /br / Day of camping I first put a tarp under the tent just in case of leaks or rain. Tent was a breeze setting up. Daughter only had to help hold the 2 poles while i attached them at the bottom clips. Only took about 40 minutes to get it up,and that was taking my time so I could let my daughter “help”. br /br /The tent was pretty roomy. Came with super zippers that can open/close the doors halfway, partway, sideways, upside-down!! really kewl. It also came with little pouches to put your needed stuff in easy to find spots. there was even a storage at the top of the tent for hmm my bread!! great so it didnt get smashed.br /Size of the inside was big enough for a queen sized inflatable bed and a twin sized futon (i wanted something soft to sleep on!) Tons of room for all the gear along the sides.br /br /It didnt rain so I didnt get to see if it was watertight. I bought the seam sealers but didnt use them because i didnt have time to air it out afterwards. But it seemed pretty well made.br /br /Only negatives i found were the outside “flap/cover/thingy” sits a bit too snug against the roof so there wasnt that much ventilation and the door started a few inches above the ground so u have to be careful not to trip on it coming in or out. And in the morning, the dew got the insides near the bottom wet so dont put your stuff too close to the sides. I had no clue it would be soo cold!! Guess even in Hawaii its cold in the mornings! Ooo, forgot to add, id replace the tent spikes because the thin metal ones didnt really hold in the ground that well. I bought some cheap ones made out of plastic at walmart for few bucks.br /br /Taking the tent down was a super breeze, and it even fit back in the original zipper bag with no problems. I even got it back in the original box!!br /br /overall: awesome tent!! it was perfect and my daughters loved it! Ill have to take them camping again!!br /
