Snow Peak - Alpha Breeze

Seconding the Alpha Breeze, it's one of the best tents that I own.

Snow Peak Alpha Breeze, amazingly designed tent.

I have the same, one of the best tents I’ve ever owned. Very well thought out functionality.

Snow Peak Alpha Breeze. The site lists it as a 4p, but it’s the size of most 6s. I just got a Habiscape 6 and it’s pretty great.

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.

Snow Peak Alpha Breeze. That thing has been a dream. Easy setup and standing room along a ridge line vs just the dome peak.

I love my Snowpeak Alpha Breeze. It’s not cheap, but the inner tent is almost entirely doors/windows and can be unzipped to the point where it’s almost all screen. It seems like it’d be great for warm/hot weather camping. I use it regularly on the North Shore of Lake Superior and it’s rock solid in windy conditions. I’m 6ft and can easily stand in the center, and it accommodates our Megamat Duo LW with plenty of room for chairs and gear.

chair - kelty has a loveseat style camp chair. its low to the ground. I see most people get them for them and their dog (they need comfort too). Tent - I have an alpha breeze, its a 4 person tent with lots of window/door options. a little on the higher price point. I see the north face wanona get recommended a lot. I have a smaller north face tent and it holds up really well in storms. Other cheaper choices that might be good are a coleman or core. Cots - helinox (love).

> Snow Peak Alpha Breeze. The site lists it as a 4p, but it’s the size of most 6s. I just purchased an Alpha Breeze with a recent Labor Day sale and it is a true 4p. As a 4p it is amazing and exactly what I wanted but I would never suggest it to someone looking for a 6p.

Also, while shopping around for a 6-person I accidentally talked myself into a new 4-person as well. Got the Snow Peak Alpha Breeze that will be my go-to for most trips but still need a 6-person for when we have friends join us.

I just got a snow peak alpha breeze. It's a 4 man tent with a high top. My other contender was from big agnes. The big house 4 is nice and tall. I was sold on the higher quality construction of snow peak. It is more expensive, but it will make for some nice camping.

4-6 man tents are good because the footprint size isn't too difficult to find a viable spot in any campground. A 10-12 man tent is going to be larger than any of the modern sand filled tent boxes will fit, which seems to be taking over campgrounds. The size of them is so large you will either never have flat ground in your tent, or you will be working for a while to create a space and clear rocks/debris for your tent spot. I would recommend a 4-6 man tent. 4 is fine for 2 ppl. With the dog, you may want a 6 man, so you can still have floor space and storage room. I just bought a 4 man tent from snow peak (alpha breeze) I haven't used it yet, but I set it up and sealed the seams. The poles on it are very robust. I can envision years of use out of this tent. It's not cheap, but it is quality. The tent door is also the easiest zip I've ever had with a tent door!

Snow peak alpha breeze. Favorite tent I’ve ever owned.

Picked up a Snow Peak Alpha Breeze recently and I’m in love with it so far. Not cheap by any means but after 2 trips I don’t regret it in the slightest. Has a nice vestibule area as well, good height, and the best feature (imo) is that it has an entrance/exit in every side of the tent so each person can easily get in and out without having to climb over someone else. I’m in a warm climate as well and the ventilation with the doors zipped open into screens gives about as much airflow as you could possibly ask for. Highly recommend if it fits your budget.

For 2 adults and a kid you will have PLENTY of space! The tent is marketed as a 4-person, although at this capacity it would probably start to feel cramped with four full-sized adults and a personal bag for everyone inside. I've only ever used it with 3 adults though, and in this case it is extremely roomy - so a kid wouldn't be a problem at all. If you really want to be sure, though, you could look up the footprint and tape it out on the floor to help visualize.

Sidewall angles are pretty forgiving since it’s an A-frame

For two people car camping, it’s muuuch more comfortable in a 4-6 person that you can **stand up in.**   I have a **Alpha Breeze** for two (4 person-sized tent) and really like how sturdy it is and has neutral colors (I hate being in a bright colored tent).   **North Face Wawona** is another good option among many others.   I had a **Nemo Aurora 6** person tent and felt a little too big for two for nice weather camping, but might be a good size if you expect to hunker down for a bit because of rain.   I use a big 12 person tent as my “rainy day” tent for two, along with a big camping tarp that is flame resistant, so you can cook and can have controlled small fires under the tarp **(only flame resistant ones!).** Makes it comfortable and roomy amount of space, and is good up until really nasty storms (in which I’m jumping in my car).  Any sturdy 8-12 person are great options in **rainy places like the PNW.**     You might consider getting a **camp shade tarp** to protect from you from the sun and so you can cook when it’s raining.     To add to your comfort level, getting a small, folded up cot like the **Naturehike ArmyWild cot** or similar is more comfortable and you can keep gear tucked away underneath so the tent is less cluttered.
