Snow Peak - Land Lock (TP-671R)

It’s incredibly high quality, and the space inside is next level. We’ve had our kitchen, a dining table, cooler, storage, etc with room to walk around. And that’s not even including the inner tent area. That’s said, there’s a lot of comparable options out there from other Japanese Camping Gear mnfrs, even Snow Peak’s own Land Nest Shelter may be a good alternative at a much lower price point.

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.

I would go with https://www.snowpeak.com/products/land-lock-tent-set?variant=43603336233004 the land nest from snow peak. Great deal for the set. Ample space for a family of four. They offer a life time garante with a repair service for their products. It’s slightly over your budget, but it’s my go to tent.

Snow Peak land lock is the way.

That is true, we have the alpha breeze and we love it. Land lock is nice because there is a living space that's enclosed.

I have the snowpeak as my family glamping setup. It’s a really nice tent. As the name implies it ventilates really well and everything is super high quality. If price is no object. You can probably get a tent that is 90% as nice for 50% of the price.

I couldn’t say. I only own backpacking tents from big Agnes and REI - which are obviously more flimsy due to the weight. The snowpeak is my first big glamping tent. I’m 6’ and I can stand up easily in it. And I can fit a queen mattress for my wife and kiddo with extra room for toys and stuff. It’s a big tent.

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.
