It's expensive, no doubt about it. But if you want something you can use in almost any condition, this is your tent. Single wall sounds scary and wet, but in practice I've u…

My back country ski partner and I chose to replace our 7 pound 2 oz, 49 square foot tent with two of these. We lost 1 pound 10 oz and picked up 5 square feet of space in the…

This is an exceptional tent. The shell is weather-proof and does not need a rainfly, which is a unique and nice asset. I lived in this tent 1.5 months, and it saved my life…

Fairly light full 4 season compatible tent. Room enough for 3, but pushing it with 4. Rain, wind or snow it will handle as it comes. If you travel light and only camp in so…

Took this tent to Patagonia and it withstood the biggest winds. Great in a deluge, too. Be sure to set aside enough time to seam seal the tent, which will take you 10 days, of…

The Black Diamond Firstlight is small. It will fit two, with some gear. You might even cook in it. You won't be forced to cuddle with your partner, but I guess you could… A…

This tent rocks for alpine climbing. It's everything you need and almost nothing you don't. (the mesh pockets aren't too usable). I love the fact that it sets up from the insi…

This tent is perfect for two people and their gear, without weighing as much as many 3 person tents do. The hybrid design is fantastic if you want to pull back the fly and en…

It is an amazing tent but the durability is crap and... BD will not repair zippers. I bought this tent in 2007. FYI… BD doesn't seamseal the tent, you do. On the first tr…

Bought this tent in 2007 from Moosejaw. I have used it extensively in the Andes, Alaska Range and Sierra. This tent is super durable. The internal pole design is not only stro…

Overall, this is a great tent. It’s light, strong, and simple to setup. One caveat: the tent walls collect a lot of condensation at temperatures far below zero. The wate…

This tent is a weapon. It is light and simple. So simple you cannot believe it. I was especially grateful when an evening storm made quick set up sort of critical. I was nice…

The materials used and craftsmanship on this tent is excellent. The big doors will let in some water when it's raining sideways, but they are perfect for nice days. The best…

Bomb-proof in bad weather. With the front vestibule, which takes a bit to attach, you have a storm-proof comfortable shelter for one plus gear, or two cozy people with little…

I had the original Chouinard Pyramid back in the day. That thing was light for its time; this thing is light for *our* time. The old aluminum pole is now carbon, and of course…
