Product Description

The ALPS Mountaineering Lynx Tent is packed with high quality, top notch features. The Lynx, which has aluminum poles opposed to fiberglass poles, is very similar to our Taurus Tent series.

The tent is an easy to set up, 2 pole rectangular dome style tent with pole clips that easily fit over the poles for quick assembly. ALPS has not cut any corners... between the factory sealed fly and floor seams, weatherproof fly buckles, 2 doors for easy entering and leaving, 2 vestibules for extra gear storage or weather protection, and extra-large #8 zippers, you're sure to find everything you could want in a tent with our Lynx.

Found out the hard way it can (kinda) double as a raft
I only used this tent for about 2 weeks, so I can't attest to it's actual longevity, however it proved to be astoundingly durable.As shown in one of the images, I had the tent setup in a deceptively peaceful storm drain tunnel for a few nights, packing it out each morning (or afternoon; again, peaceful tunnel). However, I had yet to realize that that tunnel happened to be no larger than it needed to.I wake up shortly after going to sleep in the tunnel one night, feeling a strange sensation. Is there some unusual earthquake? Someone quietly moving my tent around? Oh. No. I am semifloating down the tunnel, which terminates just after a 6ft drop onto concrete. I scramble to stop the tent and assess my situation, pushing my fingers as hard as I can against the tent floor and into the fairly smooth brick floor of that part if the tunnel. I finally seem to have stopped it, not knowing how close I had drifted toward the drop. I do my best to quickly consolidate the items in my tent into my pack, without anything getting overwhelmingly soaked. At some point during this, I thought the tent floor had finally ruptured, as water was now starting to flow into the tent. (It had not yet up to this point). I finish getting my things in my pack and step out of the tent, into the notably-less-shallow-than-before stream of rushing water. I see much to my relief that I had not drifted too far from where I had setup. Cautiously making my way to a safe part of the tunnel, I drag the now-collapsing tent (and its footprint I had been using) with me. I take inventory, account for all my things, and stuff the tent and another thing or two into a trash bag and head out the tunnel.I get to a motel at about 2 in the morning, and unpack my tent to let it dry out and inspect the damage.It was perfectly fine. There was genuinely zero perceivable damage whatsoever. You can see it setup in the motel room in one of the images. The leak I thought took place was simply the tent being in deep enough water that it ended up going over the tub floor of the tent and through the not-waterproof main fabric of it. Wiped things down, and it truly did look good as new.The remainder of my use of the tent took place under an overpass a ways upstream, and much less close to the water. Sadly it got stolen along with the bag I had it in, thanks in no small part to my own stupidity, but I firmly intend to purchase another one soon.10/10, would ride it down a storm drain tunnel again.

I recently took this tent on a camping trip over the weekend, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations. Not only is it incredibly lightweight, but setting it up was a breeze. Despite the low 50-degree weather, we remained comfortable throughout the night, thanks to its excellent insulation. Even when faced with light rain, the tent held up really well, keeping us completely dry. Considering its quality and performance, all for under $130, I can confidently say it's one of the best investments I've made for outdoor adventures. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive 3+ Season Tent For The Price
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2024
Verified Purchase
I bought this tent over 5 years ago and I thought I would come back to write a long term review.

I have been backpacking for over 20 years and I've been through a lot of tents at all price ranges. I bought this one almost on a whim. I was looking for something at a lower price point, but that was functional for 2 people in most conditions and this tent fit the bill.

It quickly became the tent of choice for me and my long time backpacking and camping partner. In the past 5 years we have taken it on dozens of backpacking and car camping trips and it has never failed us. It's exactly the right size for 2 adult men with a bit of space left over for clothes and the usual tent gear. The vestibules on both sides offer space for your backpack if the conditions are bad. Or just to protect your shoes overnight.

It's extremely easy to setup. Just 2 poles that snap together easily. Coordinate with your partner to snap in the corners and lift while connecting the central point. Then hook the tent to the poles. All that's left is to throw over the rain cover and stake down. It truly couldn't get much easier.

Is it the smallest and lightest tent in the world? No. Would I take it up Everest? No.

But for the price point it more than gets the job done. We have used it in all sorts of conditions and it has only sustained the slightest signs of wear in 5 years. One big note for me is that often in tents at this price point protection for storms becomes a concern. I can happily say that this tent has protected me in some pretty gnarly storms and I never had to worry about a thing. Excellent rain protection and solid wind defense as well.

Definitely would recommend. My only concern now is getting a backup before they inevitably stop producing this model.

5.0 out of 5 stars These people have put away a wet tent before
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2021

At the best of times, tents seem to be a struggle to get back into the bag. If I camp in the rain, I don't even bother trying. With this tent though, it's easy to tell that whomever was on the design committee knows the frustration of putting a wet tent away. I've used this tent since January 2020 and everytime it rains I'm still able to stuff the tent into its bag! This feature really cannot be stated enough, and it's one of the first questions I ask when it comes to researching tents. Home run right here!

The oversized bag aside, I'm also a big fan of the aluminum poles since they can stand up to higher winds. I have the clay/rust color model and I love the favt that it blends in reasonably well with the trees and forest floor. It's no camo, but the brown really matches the natural colors and helps keep the site of a tent from being the main feature while out camping, helping to enjoy the natural scenery even more. Quick setup and teardown time, and spacious for a 2-person tent; I have room for me, gear, and some moving around without tripping over everything. The vestibules are a good size to stow wet boots and a small hiking stool. Oh and the roof vents on the faintly are a good size for ventilation, I've been down to 10F and have had no condensation problems at all.

My only gripe is weight. This is more of a car camping tent than a backpacking tent, however it can serve that purpose if you really need it to since it stores small enough to carry strapped to a pack. 6lbs for just the tent, I wouldn't carry it more than a few miles (for reference, my backpacking sleep system with shelter weighs 6lbs). It's great as a car tent though, since it stores small saving space in a vehicle. Still, best tent I've ever had!

This tent is excellent value for money. It is literally hundreds of dollars less than more expensive brands and quality is in most cases as good or better. It is lightweight, spacious and well made. You may want to upgrade if you are serious mountaineer or alpinist but if you are a weekend warrior who takes a hike or camps a few times a year, this is an excellent product.

Ya van dos viajes que hago y esta casa de acampar se ha comportado de una manera excelente. El primero fue en Puebla y tuve muy buena experiencia, se arma muy rápido y dormí como bebe sin preocuparme del frio y la humedad.

El segundo que hice fue a Nayarit con un calor infernal, intente dormir con la lona que cubre la casa, pero me estaba asando, por lo que la tuve que quitar y dormir sin nada que cubriera la casa en la parte de arriba. Apenas así pude dormir, y sin problemas con los insectos.

Los materiales y en general todo se siente de la mejor calidad. Tengo la de dos personas, pero fácilmente caben tres personas. Otra cosa que adoro es que cuando la guardas queda bastante compacta y es muy ligera, perfecta para llevarla cargando cuando se necesite.

Ya muero por probarla en la cima de una montaña o dentro de un bosque denso. Esta casa vale cada centavo. Y lo único que no me gusto fue que la lona que la cubre tenga unas pequeñas ventanas de plástico que permiten ver el interior de la casa, quizás cuando vayas con tus amigos de excursión no haya problemas, pero ya que vayas con tu chica… pues.
