ALPS Mountaineering Chaos 3 Tent: 3-Person 3-Season
Chaos 3 is a great three season tent
By Tyrantozcar April 5, 2012
Great tent for the weight and price! I've used this in summer, fall and spring (always seem to be busy at the slopes in the winter), and it has worked great in all conditions. Breathes easily in the warmer weather with or without fly, and holds the heat in nicely in the cooler weather. Just took it for a 3 day trip on the AT this past weekend and two of us were toasty and spread out with out packs in the vestibules when the temps were in mid to low 30's at night.
Correct term for it should be 2 person + 1 dog, but I guess you could jam in three if you weren't related. Sets up easy and takes down and cleans out just as easy. Just pick it up and shake any debris out of the door before you remove the poles.
Highly recommended for any weekend camper or backpacker. The weight is worth the space and ease of setup.
