Overview
Pitching the ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr takes two pre bent aluminum poles and snap on clips, which give steeper walls and more headroom than a basic dome. Full mesh walls breathe on humid nights, and a sealed polyester fly handles rain.
Steeper walls, two doors and two vestibules make a two person tent feel far less cramped on long trips. Full mesh walls run cool, which is a drawback on chilly, windy nights.
Who it's for
Couples and partners backpacking or car camping in summer will enjoy the airflow and space. Late season campers facing cold wind should look for a tent with fabric inner walls.
Pros and cons
- Pre bent poles add headroom
- Full mesh walls for airflow
- Two doors and two vestibules
- Factory sealed seams
- Footprint not listed
- Mesh walls run cold in wind
- Heavier than ultralight shelters
Performance notes
Headroom comes from the pre bent poles, which pull the walls closer to vertical. Ventilation relies on full mesh walls, while the rainfly and sealed seams handle rain once the fly is taut and staked. The free standing frame lets it be moved before staking.
