Tarptent

[Newton22]

Anybody here tried out any tents from them? If so, are they worth the cost?

 

[JDZ]

Yes. I think they are fairly economically priced when compared to other high quality options. I use the Double Rainbow.

 

[MuleyFever]

They are one of the best IMO. I owned 3 of them at one time. Great customer service too.

They are great. Solid price for a strong, light floored shelter. If you want to go light but prefer a floored shelter I think they are a great option.

I am on my 2nd Tarptent and looking to sell current one and get a different model. Tarptent is a great tent that uses 30d silnylon which is heavier/thicker than most name brand tents in that category.

Good tents if you don't mind the condensation factor of a single wall. There are many good double wall out there in the same size at the same or even less weight.

Yep, one of the best...still made in USA I think.

My 20 yr old Tarptent is still perfect.

What would you recommend in a double wall for the same size & weight?

I had a Protrail, was a nice tent just too small for me. Held up great in heavy wind/rain/hail and setup was easy.

Big Agnes Copper Spur UL or Fly Creek UL are both comparable.

I have a Stratospire 2 and based on my limited experience with lightweight backpacking tents think it is hard to beat for the money.
God Bless.

Tarptent does in fact have double wall tents. only a few of their models are single wall. Tarptent are double the fabric thickness of Big Agnes.

I have the Double Rainbow and love it. Plenty of room by myself or when one of my sons tag along. Great value in my opinion.

Tarptent are infinitely more durable than BA’s lightest offerings. Most are double walled, as well. I have over 300 nights in my original Moment, doesn’t have a mark on it after 10 years. One of the best values in the outdoor industry.

Well, I just bit the bullet. It should be here next week. I will try and post some images. Seems like tarptent has something good going on based on your reviews here. I did notice that the fabric was 30D compared to other tent companies being at 15D or 20D. At least being in the weight range that I want. I have a floorless shelter but it is not always ideal.

What did you end up going with?

They make plenty of double wall models

I went with the rainshadow 3. Needed a little more room for the family.

I just received my DW Moment today. Can’t wait to hit the trails with it. Been raining so I set it up in the living room to check it out. Think I found the “one”!

I have a Stratospire 2 and am very happy with it. Very thoughtfully designed and always appreciate their customer service.
