MSR - Habitude 6

If most of you are over 6 ft tall and you aren't going to be backpacking, you should consider getting 2 6-person tents. I have a MSR habitude 6 and at 6'4" I can stand upright in the center of it and I have plenty of room for my dog and guests. It is much easier to set up than a 8/10-person, and it is a great tent for rain and wind. Having an easy setup and more room is something you will want for rainy days when people might want to spend more time in shelter. https://www.rei.com/product/248684/msr-habitude-6-tent

I have a MSR Habitude 6. It's been great so far, durable, easy set up and has held up in the wind and rain better than any tent I have owned. They also make a 4-person version.

Yea idk what this guy is looking at. He has a space camp which is a middle of the road tent. OP, try MSR Habitude or Snow Peak Alpha Breeze.

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.

Check out the MSR Habitude. I’ve spent probably 50 nights in one it’s great (have not used it in the rain). For any tent if it’s windy get heavier duty stakes from Amazon. I use a tarp not an actual footprint.

I spend a lot of time camping on the coast of North Carolina where winds go from 10-45+ mph on a normal weekend. I use a full fly dome, with a lower profile with long sand stakes. Usually I use a Marmot Limelight pointed into the wind (helps with bugs). This year I moved up to a MSR Habitude for more room, but has a similar design.
