Alps Mountaineering Meramac 3 Free Standing Tent
|
ALPS Tents are known for offering great weather protection with full coverage flys and “more than normal” waterproof coating. Larger zippers, combined with strong fabrics and extra reinforcement sewing, make them extra durable. And of course, like all other ALPS products, they’re also very affordable.
The Meramac series tents are all free standing 2-pole designs with shock corded fiberglass or aluminum ferrules. The ferrules are the "connectors" that hold the poles together and ALPS uses aluminum, rather than steel, because aluminum can never rust. The fiberglass poles are also normally one size larger than normal to offer a sturdier, stronger tent.
ALPS uses lightweight but strong polyester fabrics. The walls are uncoated so the tent can "breathe" under the urethane coated fly. The fly uses a pole in the top, which gives you an awning over each door for excellent rain protection. The fly is full length on the sides, not 3/4 length like some others, for better weather protection. There are also factory sealed seams on the floor and fly for maximum water repellency.
The entry and exit are enhanced with 2 doors, which means if you have to get out at night, you don't need to crawl over the others to get to the only door. The second door is also nice for extra ventilation in hot, muggy weather. The door zippers are a #8, which is one size larger than most, for extra durability. Mesh storage pockets and a gear loft are included to help you keep your gear organized.
If you're interested in an even heavier oxford floor and larger #10 zippers, you can always check out the Meramac Outfitter Series as another option.
