ALPS Mountaineering Meramac 4-Person Tent
The Meramac series tents are all free standing 2-pole designs with shock corded fiberglass or aluminum ferrules. The ferrules are the “connectors” that hold the poles together and we use aluminum, rather than steel, because aluminum can never rust. Our fiberglass poles are also normally one size larger than normal to offer you a sturdier, stronger tent. We use lightweight but strong polyester fabrics. The side walls are uncoated so the tent can “breathe” under the urethane coated fly. The fly uses a pole in the top, which gives you an awning over each door for excellent rain protection. Our fly is full length on the sides, not 3/4 length like some others, for better weather protection. We even have our factory seal the seams on the floor and fly for maximum water repellency. Entry and exit are enhanced with 2 doors, which means if you have to get out at night, you don’t need to crawl over the others to get to the only door. The second door is also nice for extra ventilation in hot, muggy weather. Our door zippers are a #8, which is one size larger than most, for extra durability. Mesh storage pockets and a gear loft are included to help you keep your gear organized.

Ideal Doghouse for a Broken Marriage I originally bought this tent because my wife of 14 years finally kicked me out of our house. At first I must admit I was really upset about not being able to sleep in my own bed or under my own roof. As I began setting up this tent underneath the highway overpass near our house, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to put together, despite the fact that I was physically and emotionally devastated. It advertises it can sleep 4 people, but it was really only big enough to house myself,…
So far so good Prior to buying this tent I researched for days. I settled with this one because it had good reviews and a great price. ALPS has put a lot of thought into this tent. During my first trip I found that it vented well and did not allow condensation to build. I also found it held up very well in the rain. That being said I was the only person using the tent. I have not had a chance to test the tent with 3 other people but it seems spacious enough and the dual entry/exit points work well.Don’t…
Great tent for long trips in the wilderness! Great tent! I (stupidly) tried the REI “Incamp4” tent first but immediately sent it back because of a design flaw that would cause water to collect over the door; btw, REI made me pay to return it! The Alps Meramac 4 was awesome in the field. I didn’t get any pouring rain, but a few drizzly days gave me the chance to see that it performs well in the rain. They provide two tie downs on the rain fly that help spread the fly out at the bottom – a great idea! When I bought it I was against…
