ALPS Mountaineering Zenith 3 AL Tent - 3-Person, 3-Season

For the price this tent is unbelievable. It is super light, easy to set up and waterproof. The down sides are the floor is a but thin, we got a cheap footprint to solve that. We got stuck in a crazy wind storm (50-70km/h) which was fine when the wind the coming at our feet but when it switched to the side it slowly started to blow the tent over. After 5 hours it was still standing but it leaning heavily. The fly does flip towards the tent when you are opening it so you have to be careful when it is raining. This is a 2.5 man tent not a 3 man tent.

This was a great tent for 3 scouts on a 10 day trek at Philmont. quick set up, comfortable, waterproof but tight for 3 as a backpack tent should be. the full coverage fly and vestibules made it great for this use.

Great for backpacking. I would call it a 2 person tent

I spent weeks researching tents looking for exactly what I wanted...and I found it. Light weight, small packing size but big enough when set up.[...]

for under $100 this tent seems to be a real bargain. Have not experienced bad weather in it yet so the final rating is still out on this one.

Mostly use this tent on my weekly weekend adventures. It is lightweight enough I'm planning a backpacking trip with it later in August. Set up is a breeze. and i absolutely love the double door double vestibule set up. Completely satisfied with my purchase. I love this tent.

This is by far the easiest and quickest tent I have ever set up. There are two openings on each side and I love that! It does say it's a 2-3 man tent but the only way three adults would fit is sleeping head to foot. Two fit comfortably. Very impressive design for airflow.

ALPS products continue to impress me and my 1 experience with their customer service was impeccable. Like Sierra, easy to do business with and highly responsive. Other reviewers commented on the small triangular area at top of fly which collects water. Definitely see that but remediated with 2 small bungees. AS other reviewers noted - the value exceeds this small detraction.

I received the tent, set it up in the yard, cut a footprint for it out of Tyvek, and went up the Black Cloud Trail on the backside of Elbert. Didn't get to summit but courtesy of some nasty weather I do get to provide a fairly extensive initial review of the tent. This tent performed flawlessly. Through heavy, unending rain, hail, and high wind, this tent didn't so much as flap. The only thing i did experience was very slight condensation on the inside of the vestibule a couple of mornings. There's no way you could find a significantly better tent, even for much more money. I'd definitely buy again

just so easy to set up. really like the dome roof and the space it affords
