Details
Super light, super strong, waterproof, breathable and easy to set up, the 2-person Bibler Eldorado was originally designed for the extreme mountain climber. This tent can be pitched on ledges that are no larger than your couch! Yet any outdoor adventurer will appreciate the design and features that make it the ideal tent at altitude. The Eldorado weighs an astonishing 4 pounds, 8 ounces, yet rolls up small enough to fit into the side pocket of many internal frame packs. Two poles crisscross inside the single tent wall, eliminating hard-to-thread sleeves, and ending naturally into the eaves of the roof. The result is maximum strength and more headroom per square foot of floor space than most tents.

Winter Tents Checklist
 |
Quality? Thankfully, most
four-season tents are high-quality. You can't go wrong getting a
tent by The North Face, Marmot, Mountain Hardwear or Black Diamond. |
|
Don't Get Too Big! Due
to the bulk of winter camping gear, many people get "too large" of
a tent. Unless you truly have use for a large tent (due to having
more people), it's better to match the tent's size to the number
of people. |
|
Smaller Tents Stay Warmer. A
smaller tent will stay warmer with the same people in it. Thus, a
tent designed for four people (but which has only two people in it),
will not be as warm as a two-person tent with two people in it. Yes,
it's common sense, but many people forget about it. |
|
Convertible Tents? There
are a few four-season winter tents that are known as "convertible
tents," working for both three season and four-season uses. These
tents are alright for late fall/early spring use where there exists
a high probability of winter weather. However, convertible tents
are NOT ideal for either intense winter camping OR normal three-season
use. |
|
If You Camp in Both Winter And Summer. Instead
of getting a convertible tent, it's best to get one dedicated tent
for three-season use and another for dedicated four-season use. It's
not necessarily anymore expensive, either. |
