plz suggest me some tents which will help me in mountaineering as well as camping....??
what about coleman Sundome tent what do u think about that....???
Answer
Not the best choice for mountaineering but the best choice for general car camping as the two are very different. The Coleman Sun-dome is too heavy and not designed for 4 season or high wind use. Although it has a stay dry guarantee and is very good on price.
For mountaineering you need the weight to be down to 6lbs and under and the design to be 4 seasons use and high winds, for that Coleman makes the the Helios

Even a better tent and lighter still would be the REI Arete ASL 2 Tent

Which tent is better Northwest Territory Front Porch or Coleman weathermaster elite?
Kim
My husband and I have been looking for a tent for some time now. We have narrowed it down to the Northwest Territory Front Porch and the Coleman weathermaster elite. My question to you all is which do you believe is better? We would just be using it for occasional weekend camping. We have seen reviews on both that neither are real good in the rain but honestly all tents have some issue with different amounts of rain. Thank you for your opinions!
Answer
Both are fair weather, car camping only tents, The Coleman brand name stands alone with high quality and ample high ranking reviews everywhere, The Northwest Territory is a Sears/K-mart low budget competition model with few reviews to be found.
The Coleman is a semi dome style so stand up room is concentrated in the center and it's screen room is not functional so it then becomes wasted space and the actual sleeping capacity is reduced. Where as the Northwest Territory Front Porch is a grand style cabin model with ample standing room even on it's screened in "porch". Both are made with similar materials and have the same similar weather coating and floors.
As for any weather claims that is in the way and where the tents are set up, and using seam sealer on either tent will improve things. As for breath-ability for hot summer days the Northwest Territory Front Porch wins hands down but those big windows also present a leaking situation for those summer down pours as well. As for looks again the Northwest Territory Front Porch has a great deal of appeal over the Coleman and it is better suited for adjoining easy up canopies as well.
Well the choice is yours in the end and what fits your budget, Again the winner price wise is the Northwest,
Good luck!
