Product Description
The Lynx is one of the latest additions to the line, and like all of the ALPS tents, is again, packed with features and high quality. The Lynx, available in two sizes, is very similar to our Taurus, which is one of our best selling tents. The Lynx has more mesh than the Taurus, taking up half of the walls on each side allowing even more ventilation. The tent is an easy to set up, 2 pole rectangular dome style tent with pole clips that easily fit over the poles for quick assembly. ALPS has not cut any corners…between the factory sealed fly and floor seams, weatherproof fly buckles, 2 doors for easy entering and leaving, 2 vestibules for extra gear storage and weather protection, and extra large #8 zippers, you’re sure to find everything you could want in a tent, in this model.

Nice tent.
By TKodiak
Well-made, love the aluminum flex poles and this tent goes up in no time. Easy to erect and take down. It's a keeper.

By JB
I am 6'4" 270 lbs. This tent is good for me as a single camper. I have had my 10 year old son and we were comfortable with our gear outside in vestibules, but another camper my size...not so good. I took this out in Jan and Feb in Southern Oh and Northern KY. Temps got down to 11 degrees and 14 degrees. Light snow and freezing conditions. Tent held out the moisture from the elements outside, but I forgot to vent the tent and had moisture freezing inside the tent when packing up for the day. My fault. I am not sure if venting would prevent it, but it is not rated a 4 season tent anyway.The summer use is good if it does not rain. The full tent fly eleiminates the circulation so it feels stuffy when camping in warmer weather. Sacrifice dry for little circulation? I may get a better option for a hot summer tent.Double doors, I would not buy a tent without them now. Vestibules good for storage, keep one for entrance and the other for extra gear to free up tent space. Includes an upper gear loft, awesome for cmaer, phone, knife, headlight, etc.One thing that is not part of the tent review but worth mentioning, is the carrry bag has a clear vinyl plastic pouch for instructions, ground cloth or map? Not sure of purpose, but the cold weather just wasn't kind to the vinyl, it cracked so now it's just an annoyance to me because I know I could have prevented it but in the rush to get packed, I stuffed a ground cloth in and caused the crack.
