Post your tents, your tentfu, which will be your next acquisition, etcI currently have my first tent (a typical cheap igloo camping tent, Hummer Igloo 3+) and 2 ultra light 3 season tents (forclaz mt900 tarp tent for 1 and 2 persons). I have used the latter in high mountain before, during summer (which is still cold), but usually in this part of Los Andes the wind is too strong for my tent. So I'm planning to buy a 4 season tent more appropriate for high-altitude and strong winds.Around here most people use the mountaineering line of Doite, pic related would be the one appropriate for my needs. The thing is that here tents are particularly expensive (that one costs +400usd), and I think I might be able to buy something half that price in the US, but I'm not familiar with US brands. Which one would you recommend?
Nice stock image, fatso
>>2866985I've got a Lanshan 2 for trekking and some free-standing 4-person 'instant up' tent from Aldi. Haven't used the latter yet but I wanted something more spacious for two people when we're car camping (or at least camping in places where you're not more than a couple of hours from the trailhead).
>>2866990Of course it's a stock image braindead, I literally said it's a tent I like, not one I own.

I'm OP. I've also noticed that almost no 4-season tents in the US have snow skirts. Why aren't they used there?
>>2866985I have a 6 Moons Lunar Solo but I'm not really happy with it. I've had it blow over a few times in high winds and there isn't enough head space near the ends even if I guy out the panels. Thinking about selling it on fleabay and grabbing a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2. I've heard 2 person tents are much more "livable" for long trips.
Tell me why I should not buy a Hilleberg tent?
>>2867033Bc they're overkill. A 4-season tent should be dual-walled, fly right down to the ground, limited mesh on the inner, and multiple vents on the fly. Mountaineering tents would have skirts.

>>2866985There is only.one tent that was made almost perfect. But because of that it is no longer produced.The one and only.
