Black Diamond Mesa 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Mesa 2 has one window and two doors and a peak center height of 3' 8, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 240 different 2 person tents we have studied. With 33 square feet of room inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, another camper throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one can generally make a really nice choice for people that love spending loads of time outside their tent getting some air.

Many of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part lightweight, making them easy to carry. In nearly all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In calm weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the other types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the top of the tent. The most straightforward dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, sloped sides two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Because of their construction, it is typically thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

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

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Mesa 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 floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Black Diamond 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 simpler to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Breathable. The Mesa'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.
6. Low price. It is a great purchase for a 2 person dome tent providing this much space. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $349.95

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 33 square feet, the Mesa 2 is smaller than quite a few of the 251 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of Coated taffeta but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
3. Discontinued: Unfortunately this particular tent has been discontinued on the manufactures site and is no longer available elsewhere, that we know of.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of qualities to rave about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
