Big Agnes Sheep Mountain 1 Person Dome Tent Review

The Sheep Mountain 1 has two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 6, which is a little bit more than the average height of the 87 other 1 person tents we have examined With 24 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit larger than some other 1-person tents, and it should accommodate you during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can generally make a superb choice for campers who love spending plenty of hours outside exploring the great outdoors.

A few of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking lightweight, making them easy to carry around. In near all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In good weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the various sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the rain to pool on the top of the tent. The simplest dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, sloped sides two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Sheep Mountain can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
4. 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.
5. 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 1500mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.
6. Other sizes are available. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
7. Low price. It is a great deal for a 1 person dome tent providing this much space. Not many tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $279.95

CONS

1. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of Polyester Oxford but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
2. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures website the last time we looked.
3. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Sheep Mountain 1, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 6 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of things to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Big Agnes's Sheep Mountain 1 tent is great for backpacking. Here are a couple of other things not mentioned above which, we noticed and liked, while researching the model: Doors have two closure options: Zip up mesh door for ventilation or zip up the breathable layer for full protection, Fly vents allow for venting in inclement weather and Ready to pitch; with pre-cut guy lines and tensioners attached to fly.
