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 Lynx has more mesh than the Taurus, taking up half of the walls on each side allowing even more ventilation. 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.

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2017
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.
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!

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.
