ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr 2 Tent: 2-Person 3-Season
Solid Tent
By pau2431913 October 9, 2011
I bought this tent a few years ago not expecting much, but after 3 years of use, it continues to work wonderfully. It has accompanied me on trips to southern Utah, the Uintas, Wasatch, and Wind Rivers. It has withstood just about everything from hot summer night to complete downpours. It is a little tight for two people, but the vestibules make it manageable. My wife and I are able to comfortable sleep within the tent together, with both of our 50L packs in one vestibule and our dog in the other. Even with heavy rain, both our dog and ourselves stayed dry. Just make sure the fly is tight so that rain does not sneak in through the mainly mesh body.
