ALPS MountaineeringExpedition-Tents Taurus Outfitter Tent

Dear daughter and I used these tents on our Norther Teir scout trip in Canada this summer. This is an AWESOME TENT! This is our 2nd Taurus tent and hubs loves them!

Great little tent !!!! I would buy another one in a second if something happened to this one.

The tent weighs roughly 7lbs so it is great for car camping trips. I worked for a outfitting company up in Northern Minnesota and they supplied these tents for their canoe trips. They worked incredibly well. I have seen them stay dry in thunderstorms and be pretty easy to set up. Like most tents though if you don't set it up right you will get wet. If you set it up in the wrong location you will get wet too.There is no ground tarp so if you wanted to make extra sure that you are gonna stay dry you can add that in later.I use it as a 1 person tent and there is plenty of room for me and my gear I am 6'2" and I usually will sleep diagonally in the tent.

I love Alps Mountaineering equipment. Very well designed and manufactured. Have their Zephyr backpacking tent, sleeping bag and 3" mattress too; all great stuff. Highly recommend and worth the slight higher price.

After returning from 7 day trip on Colorado river through Grand Canyon with Western River.They used this type of tent.Thats why i ordered the outfitter model.The poles they had were heavier duty,the zippers were heavier duty,flooring was heavier also,and it was roomier.This had me wondering if the model i got from you was the next step down.The color though was exactly what i wanted,but wasn't the color shown when i ordered.The fly is different as the one they had had an additional pole set up.I'm happy with the price but quality seems a might weak.I will be contacting W R and inquiring as to the exact model they use.

Very well made tent. Easy to put up. Large enough for two or yourself and gear. Like the fact that there are two doors. The zippers are heavy duty and nice and smooth. I bought for backpack camping. The first tent I bought was like a cocoon. And the fiberglass poles broke the second time I used. This tent has aluminum poles and much more larger and heavier material. The only downfall is the weight if your going to use for back packing. It's 8 Pounds but a well made tent. Should last for many years.

Really Good quality and especially the zippers. More expensive than I realized for a 2 person tent. Obviously you get what you pay for but it should be more balanced. My friend bought a tent for less and holds 12 people and is really easy to setup

Super duty for car camping, just wish it were just a little longer. Works best if you are under 6 ft. tall. Looks like it will take a beating and last. I bought it for 8-10K Ft. car camping, much too heavy for a pack. Have not seen anything similar at this price over many decades of looking.Tentaholics Unite

Awsome tent!! Super easy set up, durable zippers, and thick floor. Only downflaw is the weight but hey you cant have everything.
