Tent General; Help Me Buy A Tent Anonymous 2016-05-20 20:15:08 Post No. 771448 [Report]

Hello /out/,

I need a tent for a festival, help me choose the right one. I've been thinking about pic related but I'm on a budget, I want to know is it worth the price? The tent itself is just the right size, me, my gf, and enough room to dump all our gear. The festival is 5 days, and most likely it will rain, I've been going to that particular one every year since 2012 and only one of them wasn't a total pool of water; So I guess I need a tent that's irrefutably waterproof, that's probably the most important part. Another thing is, I don't want to have to buy a tent every year, I want a solid one to last me a good few trips. I can justify the price if it means durability.

Thanks /out/.

Big Agnes has some tents that would probably work for you.

Big Agnes is a pretty well known backpacking brand so their tents would probably work well for festival use. I need a good festy tent myself. The trusty old Coleman I had got wrecked last year.

If weight isn't an issue just get a cheapo coleman or similar, just make its got a full length rain fly or any wet days will be bad days.
I'm guessing you'll be staying up late and your tent will be in the sun so you might want to put a mylar blanket over it so it doesn't turn into an oven immediately after sun up.

Hey bro, been looking into the Coleman tents, and I gotta say the all in one 4 person dome looks promising, and a good price too.

What do you think?
