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

Dome tents are easily the most common of all the other sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the top of the tent. The simplest dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof.

2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Mountainsmith has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
4. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 68D x 190td Poly PU F/R, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 5000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 30 square feet, the Bear Creek 2 is smaller than quite a few of the 240 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Rainfly does not completely cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy downpours.
