Big Agnes Wyoming Trail 4 Person Modified Dome Tent Review

The Wyoming Trail 4 has two doors and a maximum center height of 5' 10, which is a tiny bit bigger than the average height of the 164 other 4 person tents we have studied. With 34 square feet of space inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to three other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one make a fantastic choice for campers that prefer spending heaps of time outside of their tent exploring.

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

Modified Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the other sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in storms than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the top of the tent. The simplest modified dome tent will have a square footprint, slanted sides a couple of 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.

Below you can find an account of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Wyoming Trail 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. Tons of Headroom. With 9% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
3. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
4. Internal storage. It is good to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
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. Breathable. The Wyoming Trail's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the summer.
7. 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 1200mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.
8. Other sizes are available. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Wyoming Trail may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 34 square feet, the Wyoming Trail 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 165 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
3. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Wyoming Trail 4 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyester taffeta, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
5. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Wyoming Trail 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 22 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
