Wenzel Ridgeline Three-Person Dome Tent Review

Wen­zel Ridge­line 7 X 7-Feet Three-Person Dome Tent Review

 

Wen­zel Ridge­line Size

The Wen­zel Ridge­line Three Per­son dome Tent is one of our favorite small tents. It is big enough to sleep three com­fort­ably, but weigh­ing in at under seven pounds it is light enough to carry with you while hik­ing, bik­ing, or boat­ing. The light weight allows you to ven­ture fur­ther before set­ting up camp. If you desire a sep­a­rate tent for the chil­dren the Ridge­line is per­fect for that. The kids like hav­ing their own tent and the adults get some pri­vacy, which can be scarce on camp­ing trips with the fam­ily. The Ridge­line while designed for three peo­ple is also good for one or two peo­ple that just need a lit­tle extra space for stor­age or a pet. It is a dome tent that is just a lit­tle over four feet tall so stand­ing will not be an option for most of us. the base mea­sures seven by seven feet, pro­vid­ing forty nine square feet, mak­ing for a rather small footprint.

 

Wen­zel Ridge­line Weather

Most mod­ern tents offer pretty good weather pro­tec­tion and the Wen­zel Ridge­line is no dif­fer­ent. The fab­ric is coated and the seams are rein­forced so leak­ing should not be an issue. The threads are also made to keep out the water. The rain fly cov­ers the roof vents and works well. The extra strong tub floor keeps out the ground water. The Ridge­line has a low enough pro­file that wind is unlikely to blow it over. The screened door and win­dow com­bined with the screened roof pro­vide ample ven­ti­la­tion and airflow.

 Wen­zel Ridge­line Set Up

Set­ting up the Wen­zel Ridge­line is a very sim­ple t task. This is another rea­son this is a good tent for the chil­dren. They can set it up them­selves. It is basi­cally just two poles. The shock corded fiber­glass frame along with the pin and ring sys­tem are the main rea­sons for the easy set up. there is no rea­son the Ridge­line should take more than ten min­utes to erect. It can be done by a sin­gle per­son as well.

Ridge­line  Other Features

The D style door is nice and makes enter­ing the tent a lit­tle less of a has­sle com­pared to nor­mal tent door­ways. The zip­pers are strong and don’t break eas­ily. There is a gear loft and some pock­ets that are great for stor­age of your camp­ing  acces­sories. We also like that the rain fly makes a small awning pro­vid­ing a lit­tle extra shade. I found the tent east to get back into its stor­age bag once we took it down.

 

If you are look­ing for a tent to keep you dry while remain­ing sim­ple to assem­ble and light to carry you should check out Ama­zon for cur­rent pric­ing on the Wen­zel Ridge­line 7 X 7-Feet Three-Person Dome Tent . Free Ship­ping is usu­ally avail­able for this item also, so check it soon to make sure it is still avail­able. This is a per­fect tent for solo, cou­ples, or the children.
