MSR - Habiscape Lounge 6

I have this tent! Love it. It’s enormous, and the vestibule is really nice for having a dry place to sit when it’s raining. Let me know what questions you may have.

I’ve had zero issues in rain but I’ve yet to be in truly windy conditions with it. I imagine it will hold up just as well if not better than the North Face tent in heavy winds just based on the shape. I use an under tarp to make sure ground water isn’t an issue, but the fly has kept us dry from falling water.

I recently picked up an MSR Habiscape 6 from the resupply section for $189, completely unused. Looks like they’re on sale for $300 now anyway. Taken it out once so far and was pretty happy with it. Well under 20lbs and was pretty easy to setup and pack-away. Fit a queen air mattress sideways with more than enough room for anything else.

The Halo 6p is an awesome choice. So is the Big Agnes Bunk House 6p or 8p. Other great choices are: MSR Habitude MSR Habbiscape Sierra Designs Nomad Eureka Space Camp. This one in particular is a great bargain as Johnson Outdoors is discontinuing this brand. You can get this one for as cheap as $250 or so. Marmot Limestone 6p Marmot Midpines or Pacifica 6p. This is the exact same tent except the colors. The Midpines is sold exclusively at Amazon and the Pacifica is a Dick's Sporting Good/Public Lands exclusive. This one only has one door as vestibule. Most family camping tents have 2 doors and vestibules. The footprint for the Midpines fits the Pacifica. Big Agnes Mad House Nemo Aurora Highrise. This one is decent but lacks a full coverage fly. North Face Wawona. As cheap as $300 on sale. Has a giant porch vestibule. Lacks a full coverage rainfly though.

The MSR Habbiscape is solid. And unlike the Nemo Highrise and TNF Wawona it has a full coverage rainfly.
