It's heavier due to the material being 68 denier, which is going to make it more durable. At 4lbs I would look at Alps Mountaineering for a 2 person tent at roughly the same weight, price point, and with a footprint tossed in.
r/CampingGear • How is this tent for beginners? ->I kind of have a soft spot for and like this style of tent (I had an alps brand 2p version that i used for myself and my dog, it was reasonably priced), but I gave mine to a friend in favor of switching to an "ultralight" freestanding tent instead. If i was only planning to camp in places where i knew i would be able to stake into the ground I might have kept it.
r/CampingGear • Looking into getting my first real tent, would this be suitable? ->I have never used an Ozark Trail tent, but I have used other store brand tents. My experience is the difference between a cheap tent and a half decent tent is waking up with a puddle in your tent. I recommend an Alps Mountaineering tent, but they will run you 100-150.
r/camping • Whats the cheapest 2 man tent you would recommend for someone who is looking to get into camping for the first time? ->No. Just get an Alps Mountaneering and save yourself a lot of aggravation.
r/camping • Ozark Trail Tent Experience? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
