Item # ALM0081

When you’re sharing a tent with three other people, you need all the ventilation you can get. The Alps Mountaineering Lynx AL 4-Person Tent features four half-mesh walls for excellent breathability and seam-sealed fly and floor construction for three-season camping protection.

  • Free standing two-pole system assembles easily with tent’s clips
  • Urethane-coated polyester fly resists water and UV damage
  • Urethane-coated floor and sealed fly and floor seams keep rain and snow out
  • 2 Vestibules for ample gear storage
  • Gear loft and internal mesh pockets allow you to store smaller gear off the floor

Bottom Line:

StayFresh camping.

Great tent

By:
August 1, 2011

No complaints, except, one of the pole sections broke when i was taking it apart. I called customer service and they sent me a new section and a string to restring it - at no charge - the tent has a life time warranty. Received it in one week, and it was very easy to restring. We had one night of very heavy rain and there were no leaking problems at all, very spacious - good enough for three people and gear. Best for car camping. If backpacking the weight could be split between two people. I loved the two side windows, it is nice to see what's going on outside. We used a generic footprint (tarp) on the ground and it worked just fine.

Tent broke second set-up

By:
August 18, 2012

It's hard coming up with a rating for this tent. It's a good idea and appears to be fairly well implemented. I basically bought this as a cheap alternative to the Marmot Limelight tent. It does a decent job of it. The tent stakes are much less heavy duty, but the design is there. The reason I gave it such a poor rating is due to it breaking the first night we went to use it. It set up fine at home, but when we were in the mountains, the black strap that connects the tent corners to the pole pin and stake ring just came off. The stitching clearly wasn't good. This left me with trying to fix it with fishing hooks and fishing line, which I eventually did. We had little faith in the tent the rest of the trip and ended up returning it. I'll be buying a nicer brand tent (Marmot, REI, etc) next time.

They call it a 4 person floor saver. They are hard to find online. If you are car camping just buy a tarp from a hardware store and use it as a footprint.

Great tent!

By:
September 16, 2010

This is our first family tent. We got it for a great price and love it. It is easy to set up and fit 2 adults, 2 dogs and all of our gear perfectly. It is sturdy and the the fly is nice for the morning dew. The height is nice as you can see from my photo. We got a tarp to go underneath it to protect it. Comes in a great little zippered bag that easily fits everything back into after your trip which is oh so nice! The tent my dad had when were growing up had a stuff sack and was always a PAIN to try and get back in the bag. It isn't extreemely lightweight so I don't know if I would hike it in for a long distance although my husband said he would. We usually car camp.

1 season tent, not 3

By:
May 9, 2011

While the tent layout and vestibule is nice this tent is inherently cold. We camped in the Colorado desert in May and were frigid despite 0 degree sleeping bags. The temp was in the 30s at night. There is simply too much venting without any way to close it. I ended up laying blankets over the huge vents in order to insulate the tent. The vestibule is not sufficient as a wind guard. This can't be considered a 3 season tent if it can't keep you warm in May in the desert. Stick with Sierra Designs or Kelty.

I've never heard of docking a 3 season tent for not being warm enough. Not even sure if I'd dock a 4 season tent for this. Usually 3 season vs. 4 season indicates the strength/intended use of the tent. If you are cold in a 0 degree sleeping bag at 30 degrees then you should submit a negative review on the sleeping bag, not the tent. Not that I've used anything by ALPS, but let's be fair....

After reading your review. I was just wondering if you happened to be using sleeping pads as well? Having a pad adds alot of additional warmth..
