chris54 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 My climbing partner and i have been using the same 3 season tent for five years, keep in mind the tent is ten years old. A windy night on mount Adams has clammed it's life and I'm in the market for a new one. I'm looking at the black diamond oasis right now. I've never used a double walled tent before and was wondering if it's worth it. Does anyone have any feedback on this tent or a similar model. I'll take any info I can get thanks.

BigSky Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Assuming you'd like something in the Oasis price range, my money would be on Big Agnes for a 3-season option. The Copper Spur is a fair amount of tent for a 3-season. Honestly though you can find 4-season tents in the three season weight range anymore. Check out the Hilleberg Nallo 2 or 2 GT. The Nallo 2 is in the 4.5 lb range all up and will handle heavy weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris54 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks big sky You make a good point about looking into a 4 season tent. I'll check out some of these models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertjoy Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Sierra Designs HYPERLIGHT 3 AST: ~6lbs  I have used this tent for several years, it is very roomy. Room for two and all gear. Two man version is also available (rarely). I have one of those too. Hyperlight 3 has been discontinued, but you can usually find it on EBAY for between $150-$180. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sierra-Designs-Hyperlight-3-AST-Tent-Footprint-NEW-/130489702987?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e61cada4b Edited February 23, 2011 by robertjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Piston Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Can't speak to the BD Oasis, but I have both the BD Firstlight and Skylight. The Skylight is quite roomy for two and gear, lightweight, but requires seam sealing. I've been pretty happy with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASmith Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The Hillaburg's are the best. Love my Katium #GT. Best tent(s) we have ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
