REI Co-op Half Dome 2 Plus

REI Co-op’s upgrade to the iconic Half Dome 2 Plus takes it to a new place. Rather than just a solid backpacking tent, this new version is a true do it all tent. It’s big enough for car camping, tough enough for the worth weather and light enough to schlep wherever and however you want to get there. While true light-is-right aficionados will want to look elsewhere for everyone else this is a compelling option at a very reasonable price.

MSR Papa Hubba NX 4-Person Backpacking Tent

The MSR Papa Hubba NX is the tent to pack when weather conditions are unknown. Although the low, aerodynamic profile sacrifices interior comfort, this tent is rock steady in high winds when the other tents faltered. It isn’t the lightest tent in the bunch, but it’s close, and the extra weight is well worth the added security. If a group of three to four campers are headed to the backcountry for high adventure, this is the tent.

Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL4

The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL4 was the top choice when spaciousness and weight were primary concerns. The most significant interior space and vestibules with a trail weight that equates to 1.3 pounds each for a group of four is an impressive pair of specifications. Waterproofing was excellent; the only dings being some pinhole punctures in the floor and one case of partial wall deformation during extreme winds that also affected other tents in the test.
