Big Agnes Battle Mountain 3 Person Dome Tent Review

The Battle Mountain 3 has two windows and two doors and a peak center height of 3' 8, which is 10 inches smaller than the average height of the 139 other 3 person tents we have examined With 44 square feet of room inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to two other campers throughout the 4-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one are a good choice for people who enjoy spending heaps of hours outside the tent exploring.

A few of the great points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them easy to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In calm weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the top of the tent. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is usually thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Battle Mountain can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is nice to see Big Agnes adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
4. Has awnings. The awnings shelter the sides of the tent.
5. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
6. More than one window. With 2 openings it is easier to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
7. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is Nylon taffeta, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 10000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
8. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1200mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.
9. Available in other sizes. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 44 square feet, the Battle Mountain 3 is smaller than quite a lot of the 139 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 10% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some campers.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Battle Mountain 3 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Nylon taffeta, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Battle Mountain 3, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 8 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of things to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
