TREK PLANET Lite Dome 2 Tent Reviews

Virtues

  • I use the third year, very satisfied. 2 people will be accommodated. + things / 3rd person .. Easy: no pegs 1200 gr. (1800 grams are now sold under this name, but with lightning and velcro protection) - perfect for hitchhiking, I’ll take it just in case, it’s still not heavy.

disadvantages

  • The tent is not serious, it may be Plan B, but not the option you can rely on. For Russia, it will come down if the rain is not heavy and not long, but under a tropical rain in the jungles of Colombia or Vietnam the new tent flowed like a rag, turning a night's sleep into a nightmare. No wonder for a thousand rubles.
  • With ventilation is very bad. The average Russian summer is normal, but with the release of the sun an unreal irreparable heat, In May or September or under the rain condensation accumulates, wetting a sleeping bag or clothes when touched. But these are the disadvantages of single-layer, that is, the fee for light weight and low price.

Comment
Once a man fell on a tent - only one element of the arcs cracked. Repaired tape on the spot, then normal. Over the next 3 years of operation, the history was repeated and always rescued electrical tape.

Comment
I used it so far that once, the tent arranged for me for two nights, the rain did not drip on my head, but the tent got wet, you did not press against the walls, the strong wind withstood, the tent did not turn over and the elements of the arches did not break, even the anti-wind mount was not installed. I put the mattress under the size of the tent, it became very small, without it I could lie at full height, with him I had to bend my knees a little, well, and the width because of the mattress, when you turn over to the other side, it is impossible not to hurt your neighbor. Blown in full well, the mosquito net does not let anyone.
In general, I advise this tent to have problems with financing, it is not expensive and will suffice especially in dry weather or throw it into a car as a backup, but it is better to add and buy an inexpensive tent with an awning and be completely sure that the rain will not disturb
