Black Diamond Mega Light 4 Person Dome Tent Review

The Mega Light 4 has one door and a maximum center height of 4' 9, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 160 different 4 person tents we have examined With 51 square feet of room 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 an excellent choice for campers who appreciate spending plenty of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Some of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them easy to carry around. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the various sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof. The most basic dome tent will have a rectangular floor, sloped sides a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is typically thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Internal storage. It is good to see Black Diamond has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
2. Low price. It is a great deal for a 4 person dome tent that provides this much space. Not many tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $399.95

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 51 square feet, the Mega Light 4 is smaller than quite a lot of the 161 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
3. Only one door. With just one exit to get outside in the middle of the night, it may wake other campers that are sleeping.
4. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you will have to store them inside the tent.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 70-denier nylon but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
6. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we looked.
7. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many attributes to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
8. Storage Space. because of the size of the tent, one cannot store a lot of gear inside..
