ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 1-Person Tent

Review is for the physical tent only. Not weather tested yet. Construction and quality is great. Very very easy to put up single handed. For backpack camping the weight and size is fantastic.

pesa 1.800 kg. Por el precio me parece una excelente tienda. El toldo es perfecto para aguantar lluvia y tiene buena ventilación Se arma super fácil. Tiendas más ligeras de una persona ya se disparan muchísimo en el precio, al menos en amazon. Por cierto, podrían caber dos personas súper pegaditas y si no tienen bronca de dormir encimadas, abrazadas o de ladito (yo mido 1.63)

This is an excellent tent! It has an easy setup and breakdown, has a lot of space, is very durable, is well sealed, and is usable for most people. While there are some more lightweight, compact, and more affordable options, I think it is worth the weight, size, and price for this excellent tent.

Con ayuda de un amigo, pude fácilmente instalar la casa de campaña. Desmontarla tampoco fue un problema.

As soon as the LYNX 1 arrived, I put it together. I looked all around for assembly instruction. They were sown into the tote bag for added convenience. But after the first time putting the tent together, the instructions aren't needed. I disasembled it, packed it in about 15 minutes. No sweat! I reassemble the LYNX 1 (one person tent). It was up and ready for use in about 15 minutes. Weather was extremely hot and no wind. I was sweating bullets! The only thing that requires any thought is the two flexable sectioned poles need to crisscross at the center. The pole sections are held together by a bungee cord. Each section is about 1ft. poles are provided with a storage bag, as well as, the stakes. The tent is really two(2) pieces. The tent with large access zippered door and mosquito netted windows in the sides. There are soft plastic open clips that attach to the poles and are obvious where they attach to each pole. A larger clip at the very top of the tent goes onto the point where the poles cross. Once all is clipped together the entire tent can be picked up with two(2) fingers and placed where wanted. The second important part is the cover or rain-cover. This is pulled over the tent and each corner has a buckle that clips onto the tents corners. Again, the tent can be easily picked up. The front of the cover has a large zipper for entry. The cover has four guide strings that can be attached for extra stability. A loop in the back can be staked down. The two unzippered flaps in front can, also. be staked or use one flap as a shade with the other flap rolled up and secured by tie-downs located in each side of the cover. Extra cloth is provided for holes in the rain repellent cloth. However, the user must provide the super-glue. One thing that would be nice if a ground cover(4x8) was provided to protect the bottom from being punctured and wornout quickly. I believe plastic sheeting can be found at a hardware store or online. Overall this is a well made backpacking tent. It will provide good cover for overnight hikes. It is very light and won't add any substantial weight to the pack. My caccoon sleeping bag will fit, covering the entire floor of this tent. I would recommend this purchase to others. I haven't gone out to the wilds yet. But, I don' t see any difficulties with LYNX 1.

Resistió tormentas muy fuertes con solo un poco de agua que entró por una esquina del piso. Pero lo sesolvi levantando para dejar correr el agua, casi estaba yo sobre un cauce de agua y resistió muy bien
