Parkview 3 > Big Agnes
A sweet tent to hang out in. The Parkview is roomy and bright, with adequate vestibule storage capacity. The hub-system poles and plastic clips make for a speedy, no-hassle setup. Properly guyed, the Parkview is very stormworthy and sheds wind with the best of them. For desert/warm-weather trips, try the lightweight (under 5 pounds) tent fly with optional footprint. This is a solid all-around tent with good bang-for-the-buck appeal.

| I just hate this type of review. Very expensive tents when a 50 dollar coleman will serve just as well. So what if it wears out after a few seasons..but a new one! For a bit better tent you can step up to 150 bucks. 500 bucks for a tent is just robbery!! |

| Wow John, I couldn't disagree more. Get caught in a major wind and rain storm or lug that tub of a tent you bought for 50 bucks across a 2500 yard portage and believe me you'll be happy to part with the extra 3 hundred bucks. I bought a Mutha Hubba and spent 16 days in Algonquin in late August. Fantastic tent, plenty of room for me and the missus and we were dry in the worst kind of weather (our paddling mates couldn't say the same.) Trust me, you get what you pay for. And besides isn't it time to stop living in a throwaway culture. The world doesn't need more land fill courtesy of Coleman. |
