Swiss Gear Montreaux Ten Person Family Dome Tent Review

Swiss Gear Mon­treaux Ten Per­son Fam­ily Dome Tent Review

 

 

Just returned from a three day camp­ing trip and had the oppor­tu­nity to stay in a Swiss Gear Mon­treaux Ten Per­son Fam­ily Dome Tent. It was a good expe­ri­ence. The assem­bly was quite sim­ple. Swiss Gear says two peo­ple are required but I believe one could do it. The corded poles are part of what makes it so easy. It shouldn’t take more than 20–25 min­utes to set up. The rain fly is the only part that may require a sec­ond per­son.
• Base: 17.5 ft. x 14 ft.

• Area: 177 sq. ft.
• Weight: 37 lbs.

Mon­treaxu’ Space

The Mon­treaux is a very spa­cious tent. It is made to sleep up to ten peo­ple. We only slept five but we had room for stor­age plus extra space. The tent can be divided into two rooms to pro­vide pri­vacy or to use as a liv­ing area. The divider is eas­ily posi­tioned out of the way when needed. The height is nice. I was able to stand in most of the tent with­out slouch­ing which is uncom­mon in a dome tent. The two smaller side rooms are a bit shorter though.

Swiss Gear Mon­treaux Weather

The Swiss Gear is sup­posed to be a good weather resis­tant tent. We only had a light sprin­kle but we stayed dry. The rain fly is big enough to do its job. The tent is coated with a water repel­lent. The floor is also water resis­tant but you should use an under tarp any­way. The mesh roof is nice for air flow and star gaz­ing with­out the bugs eat­ing you up. The win­dows are large enough to get good air cir­cu­la­tion or to help you keep an eye on the out­side world.

There are plenty of slots and pock­ets for stor­ing your items out of the way. The two side rooms are good for extra stor­age. The stakes could be bet­ter but that is the same with all tents these days. Over­all the Swiss Gear Mon­treaux  is a good tent that can be had for a good price.. It is cur­rently 40% off with free ship­ping at Ama­zon. Click to check Amazon.
