ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr 1-Person Tent
June 6, 2018 - Comment
The Zephyr model is ideal for those hot, muggy nights when you want to feel a breeze in your tent. The walls are composed entirely of mesh, allowing maximum ventilation and fresh air. The unique 2 pole design gives you more head room to sit up, without feeling cramped. The Zephyr features aircraft alloy aluminum poles, which are strong and lightweight. There is one door placed on the end to make it easy to get in and out of the tent, and a vestibule over the door for a great place to store your extra gear. The fly buckles to the tent, offering a much more secure attachment when compared to elastic cord. Incredible ventilation, great head room, and lightweight… a great combination, creating a high quality tent!

I can fit a couple of clothes and my hiking boots inside the tent (comfortably). Putting my Deuter 50+10 inside, however, did make things a tad more cramped (I leave it outside with the…
Easy, small, light. PICS I chose this tent for many reasons, but the main reason is this is a screen tent with a rain fly. I like sleeping in deep backcountry and I love looking at the stars, on a clear night of course. I sleep in a hammock however I can’t set my hammock up on the beach. This tent is also very light, just over a pound. (under 1kg). I am using it for bicycle touring.Out of the box:This tent was nicely packed and rolled into it’s own bag. Pulling it out of the bag and unrolling it I see…
Thought it was over priced… But it isnt! Great tent! Lightweight, breathable, and small yet still roomy for 1.Be sure you buy the footprint so you don’t mess up the bottom of the tent!
