Description

The ALPS Mountaineering Lynx Tent is packed with high quality, top notch features. The Lynx, which has aluminum poles opposed to fiberglass poles, is very similar to our Taurus Tent series. The Lynx has more mesh than the Taurus, taking up half of the walls on each side allowing even more ventilation. The tent is an easy to set up, 2 pole rectangular dome style tent with pole clips that easily fit over the poles for quick assembly. ALPS has not cut any corners... between the factory sealed fly and floor seams, weatherproof fly buckles, 2 doors for easy entering and leaving, 2 vestibules for extra gear storage or weather protection, and extra-large 8 zippers, you're sure to find everything you could want in a tent with our Lynx.

  • Impressive 3+ Season Tent For The Price
I bought this tent over 5 years ago and I thought I would come back to write a long term review. I have been backpacking for over 20 years and I've been through a lot of tents at all price ranges. I bought this one almost on a whim. I was looking for something at a lower price point, but that was functional for 2 people in most conditions and this tent fit the bill. It quickly became the tent of choice for me and my long time backpacking and camping partner. In the past 5 years we have taken it on dozens of backpacking and car camping trips and it has never failed us. It's exactly the right size for 2 adult men with a bit of space left over for clothes and the usual tent gear. The vestibules on both sides offer space for your backpack if the conditions are bad. Or just to protect your shoes overnight. It's extremely easy to setup. Just 2 poles that snap together easily. Coordinate with your partner to snap in the corners and lift while connecting the central point. Then hook the tent to the poles. All that's left is to throw over the rain cover and stake down. It truly couldn't get much easier. Is it the smallest and lightest tent in the world? No. Would I take it up Everest? No. But for the price point it more than gets the job done. We have used it in all sorts of conditions and it has only sustained the slightest signs of wear in 5 years. One big note for me is that often in tents at this price point protection for storms becomes a concern. I can happily say that this tent has protected me in some pretty gnarly storms and I never had to worry about a thing. Excellent rain protection and solid wind defense as well. Definitely would recommend. My only concern now is getting a backup before they inevitably stop producing this model. ... show more

  • So far I'm impressed
This is an initial review as I just received my tent today. I own the 1 person Lynx and I like it a lot. We set the tent up in our living room to check it out to make sure there were no defects or missing parts. Everything checked out good. Set up was easy as expected. My wife and I were pleased with the amount of room. It's not a big tent by any stretch of the imagination, but it will be plenty for our needs. It is definitely plenty long for us. We will be using this tent for tour cycling so we don't need a lot of extra space. The 2 inside pockets and overhead net will be great for personal items while sleeping. The zippers work very smooth. The center hook that holds up the tent in the middle easily hooks over both poles. The bottom of our tent is one piece with no seams. The headroom inside is also ample for us. The vestibules are plenty big for our gear. The best thing this tent has going for it right now is that my wife likes it! She is very critical about things I buy but to my pleasant surprise she was actually impressed. Now for the main reason I bought this tent I will have to try it out in the rain to see if it is waterproof. We have 2 otherwise nice 2 person tents but they leak. I will update once I've tried it in the rain. So far, though, I am very pleased, especially for this price. Update: We have now used this tent for about 6 weeks of camping in 2017. Took it out west on a cycling tour to California and back (drove back). Used in temps down to 30 in NM, and in hard rains with no water inside the tent. The tent still looks and works practically like new. We are very satisfied! ... show more

  • Excellent backpacking tent, excellent price.
Bought the tent since it has a smaller footprint then my 10x10 tent for camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Easy to set up alone, easier with two people. One the second day out we had a storm between the hours of 10pm-7am. A downpour of rain, wind enough that it made me happy we set up extra guy lines (the tent only comes with four included guy lines and 6 stakes, I would recommend guying it out additionally and adding some more stakes), and some insane lightning. My only complaint is with the footprint I bought for it - it was a little big along the sides, and allowed some rain to be blown between the footprint and the tent. Also, the rain was blowing sideways a lot so we had to close the small vents along the top of the rainfly. All in all, a great tent that packs small and kept us dry. The vestibules can fit two packs on each side (4 total- but they will be jammed). I am going to spray it with some silicone spray along the bottoms where the rainfly doesn't touch the ground and I think I have a perfect tent. So happy I didn't spend the bucks for an expensive REI tent like my travel buddy did - he had problems with water coming in at the seams and zipper. ... show more
