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 11 inches less than the average height of the 126 various 3 person tents we have looked at. With 44 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to two other campers during the 4-seasons this tent is approved for. Smaller tents like this one often make an ideal choice for campers who like spending loads of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Many of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very simple to set up. In good weather, you can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most common of all the other sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the rain to pool on the top. The most straightforward dome tent should have a rectangular floor, slanted sides two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 44 square feet, the Battle Mountain 3 is smaller than quite a few of the 126 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 11% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor 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. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we looked.
5. 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
6. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many things to be positive about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
7. Storage Space. Due to the size of the tent, one cannot store much gear inside..
