GoLite Xanadu 2+ Shelter 2-3 Person 4-Season


Product Details

Look upon the GoLite Xanadu 2+ Shelter and despair, because your current four-season tent probably weighs a lot more than this stately single-wall bivy. With two doors, two vestibules, four mesh gear pockets and a tough Epic nylon shell, the Xanadu 2+ isnt cutting any corners on its way to bagging peaks. GoLite drops an elbow on excess weight by using SilLite nylon panels, DAC Featherlite poles and a flyless single wall design, keeping this palace for two under the five-pound mark by far more than a hair.

Price : $ 449.95

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.
