Snow Peak - Amenity Dome Medium

I second this. I went for the Amenity Dome M but the Alpha Breeze looks to be a better option.

I have a non-TC Amenity Dome M and its still a pretty beefy material. I would have gone for the Alpha Breeze (taller, more venting IIRC) but I sometimes use this solo and the AB would be too tall to make that easy.

Even backpacking I will “size-up” a tent. Just me? 2p tent. Me & misses? 3p or even 4p. my car camping is a 4p Snow Peak since weight doesn’t matter and it’s got comfort down.

I have snowpeak ivory tent(amenity dome) i do not recommend getting because it gets dirty so easily…lol some stains wont go away.

No i didnt get the mat. But i am thinking about it. But yea, if the ivory is only color option, and picking between amenity dome vs alpha breeze i would go for alpha breeze. I am 6ft tall and i regret getting amenity dome because of the low clearance haha

Can confirm - light colored tents look great in photos but are a nightmare to keep clean in the real world, especially that ivory color which shows literaly every speck of dirt and mud.

If you only get one SP tent this is the one, besides a thorough and strong marketing campaign there is a reason this is the number one tent from Snow Peak in North America, so much so that it’s the only thing snow peakers in Japan want from the US market. The back slope isn’t an issue, there’s plenty of room to move around in the front half. We usually sleep on an exped mat with our feet to the door, it’s not in our faces while we sleep. Set up is only hard the first few times, once you know the steps it’s easy. I do it solo in a few minutes. The rain fly is the hardest part solo. There’s an updated version from what most of us have, a lighter weight but stronger fabric throughout but a thinner floor. All the more reason the mat and sheet set is highly recommended. It’s bulky to pack (the mat) but well worth the insulation and padding. Unless you camp at Campfield all the time it’s still a unique tent in the wild, it stands out against the sea of Rei tents. It’s solid in wind and rain storms. I don’t even worry about the guy lines. As long as it’s staked out tight it’s not going anywhere. I have the Amenity Dome small and medium and the land lock as well and the AB is our most used. It’s worth it.

The TC Material is incredibly durable (and heavy - take that as a good or a bad, in your case it sounds good). The Amenity Dome is also a well designed tent with a nice vestibule, and the tarp is spark resistant and can be used over a campfire.

I felt so relieved my snow peak amenity dome had a dry vestibule to cook food and make coffee comfortably. As a bonus, the sun evaporated water from the tent so I packed it dry! Strong winds prevented me from setting up a tarp as it made it shake aggressively and threw MSR tent stakes out of the ground like projectiles

i’d skip all the other options and grab the snow peak. their stuff is just so high quality.

You can try to buy the snow peak used from someone (if you can find one). I don’t think anything is worth that high price tag. But I can tell you that tent is SUPER nice, well ventilated, roomy, and beautiful. My friend has one and I was jealous, but even he said he bought it discounted

383 is a steal, I think my friend got his for 480 ish (after tax) Yes 4 of us hung out comfortably in there! I also loved how tall it was, you can probably stand up straight even as a tall person. my friends and I were all around 5’3-5’7 range. Standing up straight in a tent is a game changer If you end up getting more snow peak stuff to match (like the tarp canopy), the vibes are immaculate. I think in the long run this is more of a forever tent whereas the eureka you may get bored of the color and style someday and upgrade to snow peak anyways once you’re more invested in camping I will say that setting up this snow peak tent is more moderate difficulty but once you’re used to it it’ll be fine

Why would you consider big Agnes when snow peak is an option. Snow peak will always have a better product so it really comes down to do you want to spend more on snow peak or are you ok with Big Agnes. I love snow peak and have a decent amount of their stuff but it always comes down to can I afford the upgrade to snow peak. From the sounds of it and the other tents you have you are willing to spent top $ on your gear so I would say don’t stop now and go snow peak.

North face stormbreak was my only tent for years. I’ve got a snow peak now that I adore, but I was always impressed by the waterproofing.
