ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr 2 Tent: 2-Person 3-Season
So far so good.
By n.bird July 31, 2011
Simply put: this tent is a superb value, especially at the SAC price. I've used this tent in the Tetons, Wind Rivers, the Everglades, and New England and it hasn't let me down. The mesh body and fly vents allow for excellent ventilation while the poles and guy out points keep it the tent taut even in 30-40mph winds. I really like that this tent has two doors and two good sized vestibules, making it easy for the occupants to stay organized and enter/exit easily. The interior is a bit small - two average sized (from 5'6" to 6') people would fit fine, but for anyone very tall or heavy, it might be cramped for two.
At under 5lbs trail weight and hovering around $100, this tent is perfect for a couple's retreat into the wilderness. I'm happy I didn't throw down an extra $100 for big name tent when this has everything I'd need.
