ALPS Mountaineering Lynx Tent: Accommodates 4 People for Outdoor Adventures

Adrián Martínez: Es una excelente tienda de campaña, ligera, espaciosa y con buenos materiales para acampar en climas templados a fríos. Yo la uso para acampar antes de hacer alta montaña y funciona de maravilla.

HlimaHlima: Siempre acampo en la montaña, en climas fríos: 0 grados centígrados, esta tienda resolvió el problema que tenía con otras a las que se filtraban las corrientes heladas de aire durante la noche, tampoco tuve condensación dentro de ella; me mantuvo con una buena sensación térmica.

No es muy amplia, pero aun así utilicé un catre colocándolo en diagonal, creo que 2 catres no hubieran cabido.

Estoy muy satisfecho con la compra.

Anthony/TaraAnthony/Tara: The first night using this tent we experienced high winds and a thunderstorm. This thing sets up quickly and easily. It keeps the water out I should note that we are using a tarp for a footprint. It has enough room for a family of four and the ends of the fly have more than enough room for our packs. The only complaint I have is the threads wernt trimmed minor detail. I should also note that we pre-tied the guy wires on the fly using a follow through figure 8 knot this way we can leave them tied.

j's viewj's view: This is a nice tent! Pros: easy to set up. Very roomy for a backpacking tent. Kept the rain out. Door zips are amazing! Unzips in single motion.
Cons: the pegs that come with it don’t work in rocky ground. You need a ground sheet that is purchased separately. The fabric is very thin—there was one small hole out of the box where the fabric was rubbing against the zipper and another small hole on the trip from a rock. It may be a little too bulky/heavy for backpacking but it can be done.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

Radio Far Side: Of all the tents I've owned, this is the best combination of price, quality, weight, and features I have found.

My wife and I set it up the first time in less than 10 minutes without the instructions. It's very intuitive and the pole clips vs. sleeve is ingenious, fast and easy. Set-up and break-down is a breeze for two people, but is a bit of a challenge for one. The package includes guy lines and stakes, as well as a removable gear loft that easily holds my solar flashlight for interior lighting.

My wife is 5'-4" and I am 6'-2", and we both found the interior spacious for 2 people and gear, with room to move around easily, even with air mattresses and sleeping bags deployed. There is plenty of circulation and the interior remained reasonably comfortable in the tropical heat. The two vestibules are large enough to leave cooking gear, shoes and dirty clothes outside while still protected.

There are only 2 stash pockets and I would have liked a couple more, but I understand the trade-offs to hit the sweet spot of price v. features. The spikes are a little flimsy and won't hold up to a lot of hammering. I added 2 - 60d steel spikes for the vestibules. The straps...

Allison: It's just the right size for a small family and is it a good quality tent. We had a thunderstorm on our second night of camping and it poured, but we did not get any water through the fly or floor, now we did have a ground tarp under the tent but that is something we never skip, but even so the tent kept the water out.

The zippers worked great and we got no fabric jam in the zipper, even our 2 and half year old was able to open and close the zippers with no trouble. The tent is as easy as they come to put up, I had the tent up in the time it took my wife to walk to the bathroom and back by myself. The guy lines for the fly are nice sturdy ropes and not some cheap thin line, but the tension clip was something I've never seen before and I couldn't figure it out in the whole one minute of trying, went with good old fashioned trusty knots instead of the overly complex weird new clip.

The poles and the pegs are aluminum and super lightweight and the poles snap themselves together when straightened out, only issue with the aluminum pegs is they bend when driven into hard ground but what can you do, one of our pegs curled over like a candy cane haha

Seems like a good...

John Galt: I got this tent as a "spare" so we had a tent to loan out to friends who wanted to join us for car camping. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised by this tent. The online specs looked good and it performed very well for us. I'll say right now that this is an -excellent- value for the money especially considering that it features aluminum poles. This tent is also very easy to setup without any surprises. The tent pole clips are much faster and easier to use than pole sleeves. This tent is spacious and provides good ventilation. We did endure a few hours of rain punctuated by a 20 minute torrential downpour. The tent stayed totally dry inside. Quite commendable for a modestly priced tent. Tents from the Big Box stores can have very poor factory seam sealing but the Alps is many orders better. The only con would be the vestibule which could be larger. It also was cut so that it laid rather "flat" reducing the amount of usable space. The room was very adequate for a 6' 3" occupant. Two people were using it and they had plenty of room for themselves and gear. You could sleep four people in this tent but it would be very intimate. I would strongly urge people to get this instead of...

Educ80219: This is a great tent for the money. We purchased this tent primarily for weekend campouts with the Boy Scouts and as a place where the kids can have their own space when we camp with our RV. We have used this tent 4 times and have had no issues at all. It is a snap to set-up, both individually and with help. We used this during a recent Klondike Derby in Upstate NY where the temperatures were in the single digits (18F) during the day and negative (-3F) overnight. The tent kept my son and I very warm, dry, and happy!

Set-up is as easy as putting down the footprint or tarp, spreading out the tent and staking it down, put the 2 poles together and place then in the corner holes, and then snap the tarp to the poles. The tarp slides over easily and clips to the corners in a way that it is difficult to make a mistake. Stake down the guidelines and spread out the tarp and you are done. My son (11 years old) and his friend (10 years old) set this up in less than 10 minutes. Take down is just as easy and takes less than 5 minutes, 2 min if you put it in a bag to hang dry at home. The stakes that are included are durable and did not bend even when going into frozen ground.
