Details
The Bibler Tempest is an ideal shelter for any wilderness traveler or mountaineer, built to outlast howling winds and torrential downpours while its contents you! stay dry & happy. With plenty of room for two, the Tempests shape maximizes living space by uniting steep walls with a simple floor design. In fact, it stands nearly 4 tall (1.1m) at the peak. Equipped with two attached vestibules, youll enjoy a 44sq. ft. floor area! This extra space is NOT at the expense of strength. Four Easton 7075-E9 poles bend naturally into the eaves of the tent and are locked into place with Twistlock Pole Ties, providing a strong, secure framework. Both vestibules are seam-taped and corner pockets are RF welded for maximum water protection. Best of all, every one of these features comes to you at a reasonable price compared to other tents of this caliber.

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. |
