Review on πŸ•οΈ Snugpak Scorpion 3 Tent - 3 Person, 5000mm Waterproof Outer, Ensures Complete Protection by Larry Willis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My favorite weatherproof tent! (Examples)

In short I love this tent! Having spent 8 years in the military (literally living in a tent for 13 months) I am very thankful for a durable performance tent. Scorpion 3 is exactly that. I've had this tent for a few months and have taken it out 4 times now and it's officially my new option! Instead of talking about the features that you can find online I wanted to share my experience with this product. I used it under the following conditions: - Trip 1: Wasatch Rockies in January. elevation about 7700 feet; In mountain weather it was minus 10 degrees; dry but cold. It is measured that it is 9-11 degrees warmer in a tent! - Ride 2: Altitude 6000 feet; Heavy snowfall and wind. Handles weight and wind well, EXCELLENT ventilation. (Virtually no condensation) - Trip 3: Antelope Island State Park, Utah; elevation 5300 feet; Below freezing. It worked great. Tons of tent and ground covered in frost (virtually no condensation) - Trip 4: Antelope Island State Park, Utah; elevation 5300 feet; Heavy rain, wind 50 m/s. Many other campers had their tents flooded or collapsed, but not mine. Dry Bone! It's ridiculous to read any reviews that it's not for inclement weather. Either they came across an unusually defective tent, or they just don't know how to use it properly. Mine is as strong as a rock! Haven't had a chance to try this in warm or mild weather. It seems like it's a little warm but I have no reason to as I haven't tried it. I will update the review once I go out in warmer weather. Although I've used it in some pretty harsh environments, it's performed better than many of the more expensive dozens I own. I really love this tent. It's a little heavy for regular backpacking, but perfect for an all-weather tent. Definitely enough room for two plus gear. I love the lobby and everything I put in the anteroom was very dry too. I also used the breakfast gas stove when I woke up and it worked great when I was in the tent cooking in the lobby. If you doubt this tent, look no further. This is absolutely my favorite all season tent at about half the price of some of the others I have.
