Peak 1 Apollo Review

"I have used this tent for backpacking for about 10 years and find it a nice, simple and inexpensive one person tent. When I tried to put two full size adults in it, it was too small for us! I love the vestibule; lots of space for my gear out of the weather yet still accessible. I don\'t like having to stake out the ropes to set it up and the threading of the poles through the sleeves. Hard to do when raining and cold. Also, it isn\'t very tall and I can\'t sit up in it without hitting my head on the roof. Finally, it is a bit heavy compared to more expensive tents. "

"Backpacker Magazine gave this tent a high rating and I would too if it wasn't for the little things that went wrong with mine. The #3 pole's elastic came stretched out so it
is near impossible to put it together. The second night in it a grommet popped out of the stake strap, and a pole pouch on the vesibule started ripping out on it's first use.
It seems to be a well built tent but I wouldn't risk that stuff going wrong on a week long trip."

"This tent has really grown on me. I initially had some grommets pop out, but after replacing them, I have been 100% happy with it. I have used it 20+ times. It is a blessing in cold weather and rain, because you can set a small stove up in the entry vestibule, and with the rainfly zipped and the door to the tent unzipped and fastened up, you are toasty warm in minutes! There is not a lot of head room. With the extra tie downs on the rain fly and six stake and four pole design, this tent will stand up extreme weather."
