Yeah I’ve used the Hilleberg Kaitum GT on Denali - even though it’s a lighter “red label” tent, if you get a second set of poles you can double up the poles and it was solid in a pretty serious storm at 17k.

Check out Hilleberg. Go on their website, go to products and select 3 person tents. Filter by red label, that’s what’s most suitable to mountaineering. Many models come in different sizes. I guess for Denali, the Kaitum would be beet, that’d be my pick anyways. If you need one larger vestibule (of the two), the Kaitum GT may be for you. Hilleberg has a bomber reputation, but they come at a price.

Hi, I second the other guys recommendation of slingfin, however i find their designs quite small for what youre after and with a trango youre getting a lot of the slingfin design benefits. Something id look into (as other guys said) would specifically be something like a hilleberg saivo or keron. the kaitum ist great but im not sure id pick it for denali, as its just not as bombproof as the black labels. If you do something like a kaitum id double pole it.

The two obv dome tent contenders (Arc and X) advertise solid inners, but the images show unsealable panels near the top for both. Most of the time this is okay, but when it's super gnarly fine snow dust could cover everything inside. There would be additional heat loss, too. Minimally but still. Actual full solid inners would add no weight to these otherwise fine offerings, but alas. This is an unfortunate design decision, because a true Scandinavian style dome with all the defenses done right is 600-900g more. Mids are good choices, but stake points needs to be extra solid, and overnight snow takes some user participation to not shrink the floorspace uncomfortably. I find UL mid inners to be mostly fiddly, saggy and confining - and sourcing a true solid is near impossible. So for mid use in real winter (year round actually) I skip inners. Then you can dig a footwell by the door and enjoy maximum space. And space is important with all that bulky winter gear and potential inside chores. My winter tents are a Silvertip mid, an Unna dome, and a Kaitum 2 tunnel

~~Winter camping can mean many things. The Nallo isn't a 4 season tent. Specifically, it isn't adapted to snow. Those cat curves on the lower perimeter of the fly are practically impossible to bury and the spindrift will flood the interior. You will regret using the Nallo in full on winter conditions (blown snow).~~ If you have a very limited budget and need one shelter to do it all, your best bet would be a mid with as many sides as you can get/are willing to carry (i.e., a rectangular pyramid -> a hexagonal mid -> an octagonal mid). Edit: My comments about the cat cut on the fly is due to confusion with the Anjan! My apologies for the confusion! FWIW, I've personally used and owned at different points 3 of what are now called the Black Label tents and 6 of the Red Label tents.

Hilleberg. A totally bombproof alpine tent. Bought it when it was sub $700 many years ago.
