We stay in the Big Agnes Blacktail Hotel 3 tent no matter whether we go camping or camping. The large vestibule is especially useful for storing bicycles or climbing equipment in campgrounds. This makes the tent a little heavier and more suitable for backpacking but we feel safe leaving the raincoat at home when there is not the slightest chance of rain. Even if he is we pack rain cover and cover (sold separately) without canopy to make it easier for you to travel along the trail and not skimp on weather protection.
