Big Sky Evolution 2P
The problem with many two-person tents is that things can get a little too close for comfort with your camping buddy. The Big Sky Evolution 2P has two doors that allow you to get in and out of the tent without having to crawl over your tent mate. If your luck is anything like ours, and it happens that you often go camping with people who seem to have bladders the size of walnuts, you probably find it hard to sleep when you get a knee in your chest or groin every time your mate has to answer the call of the wild. There's more to this ”Best Of” tent than two doors. For instance: a 42-inch-high ceiling, lots of no-see-um mesh for bug protection and ventilation, and two, built-in clothes hampers made of mesh for drying your wet clothes. All of this weighs just over 3 pounds. You'll have trouble finding a tent that offers so much and weighs so little.
From independent research, we selected the Big Sky Evolution 2P as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other Tent selections visit our Tent Overview.
