Big Agnes Tumble 3 Person mtnGLO Dome Tent Review

The Tumble 3 mtnGLO has 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 45 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 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one make a superb choice for people that like spending heaps of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Some of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking lightweight, making them easy to carry. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy 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 easily the most common of all the other sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the top of the tent. The most basic dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

Below you can find a list of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Tumble mtnGLO 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. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice 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 entire 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 purchase for a 3 person dome tent that provides this much space. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $299.95

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 45 square feet, the Tumble 3 is smaller than quite a few 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 specifically for the Tumble 3 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyester taffeta, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of qualities to rave about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
