Black Diamond I-Tent Standard 2-Person 4-Season Review

Black Diamond I-Tent Standard 2-Person 4-Season Feature

Black Diamond I-Tent Standard 2-Person 4-Season Overview

The Bibler I-Tent is super light, super strong, waterproof, breathable and easy to set up. The 2-person I-TENT was originally designed for the extreme mountain climber. This tent can be pitched on ledges that are no larger than your couch! Yet any outdoor adventurer will appreciate the design and features that make it the ideal tent at altitude. The I-TENT weighs an astonishing 4 pounds, 11 ounces, yet rolls up small enough to fit into the side pocket of many internal frame packs. Two poles crisscross inside the single tent wall, eliminating hard-to-thread sleeves, and bending naturally into the eaves of the roof. The result is maximum strength and more headroom per square foot of floor space than any other tent. The single piece bathtub floor has no seams. The door toggles to the side when open. The no-see-um net door is on the interior to prevent the massive ice build-up which occurs on exterior net doors of other brands in winter. Each I-TENT comes with two weatherproof zippered ven

Black Diamond Vista 3-Person 3-Season Tent Review

Well, the Black Diamond Vista tent is all it's cracked up to be for my family. For nearly 15 years I've used a North Face Firefly, which was fantastic for me and my wife. For 3 or more, it was simply too small. It also lacked headroom, which made it slightly uncomfortable for long nights stuck inside when it was raining.

Enter the Vista: More tent than we'll ever need, but I appreciate the spacious interior, and so does my wife. We have one son, and the three of us have room enough to play games. If a little stork brings us another baby, we'll have the extra room for 4!

Set up is a breeze after just one practice run. Color coded corners make attaching the sturdy fly very simple. Without the fly, the tent is perfect for warmer summer evenings. A good breeze, and good visibility make sleeping in this tent very comfortable and romantic.

With they fly, the elements are kept at bay. We haven't had the chance to test it in a deluge, but from what I've seen so far, I'm not too worried. Condensation on the inside was non-existent. The fly is also made so that the top of the zipper can be left open to help air out the tent, even in incliment weather. Great design.

The matching Vist footprint is a perfect fit, and should be considered mandatory to protect your investment. It's also extremely small when packed.

The one complaint would be the stuff sack, which could be better built. Black Diamond is quick to make things right, but the stuff sack strings and where they're sewn in gave out prematurely. I'd recommend an after-market stuff sack if you hike great distances and will be putting in and taking out the tent a lot. I found that the Sea to Summit Orange Ultra Sil XXL Stuff Sack is a perfect replacement, and better built. A stuff sack was not worth dropping the rating to 4 stars simply because everything else about the tent is excellent.

The tent is light, and easy to carry by myself on rigorous hikes. But, I don't mind carrying a 50 to 60 pound pack. I don't notice the difference between this and my ultra-light firefly on the trail.

The tent poles are well-made, and the 'spider' assembly seems to be a great design so far.

Highly recommended for those wanting a spacious 3 man tent. The only other competition would be the Losi 3P. I got the Vista at good price, and couldn't pass it up. Check out reviews on the Losi 3P and Vista before committing. Either way you go, I think you'll be getting a tent to last a lifetime.

Bugs were not a problem, but you need to air it out before taking it in the field.
