ALPS Mountaineering® Zephyr 3 - person Tent Review

This is almost identical to the ALPS Zephyr 2, with a bit more width.Please check the Zephyr 2 reviews for more reviews and some pictures I posted.

I gave the Zephyr 34 instead of 5 stars only because I really cannot see how you could fit three adults in this tent.My expectations for space were a little higher than with the Zephyr 2, which I also own.However, it is high quality, light, and can be found at very low prices from time to time.If you find a good deal and need a tent for TWO adults, snatch this up.

here is what I wrote about the Zephyr 2, which also applies here, other than the fact that it is really a 2-person (like many other "3-person" tents).

At the price, this is a great tent.

Here are the only downsides I can find so far with the Zephyr:

1) The footprint is hard to find. Search for "floor saver."

2) There are partial sleeves so you cannot pitch the footprint/fly and then be sheltered to pitch the rest of the tent. However, you can pitch just footprint (not included) and fly for a light shelter.

3) With the fly door unzipped all the way, water can enter the tent. Just don't unzip all the way if it is raining.

I have now decided that #3 is not bad, as it allows a nice view straight up at the stars when you are laying down with the fly open.

I bought this tent because I found a great deal and loved my Zephyr 2.It has not disappointed, and I knew before buying that 3 people would be unrealistic.
