Great Tent, but...

Great Tent, but...

I believe this is the tent, but it could be a newer model.

I bought a great 2-3 man great land dome tent and it is a great backpacking tent. It has a great design for the sort of built in ground cloth. It is simply a tarp at the bottom and gets rid of needing to carry one with me.

However, it doesn't have a vestibule and that is a necessity for winter backpacking. If any one can help, just leave a comment and a link on the page.

Winter Camping
by: TimelessTents

The tent you have shown is considered a 3 season tent. For winter camping and hiking a 4 season tent works better, and many do have vestibules. They are a little more expensive than the 3 season tents, but they are made to stand up to snow, don't have as many windows and are less ventilated in order to keep the cold out.
