The Lynx is packed with features and high quality. The Lynx, which has aluminum poles, 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-setup, 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 #8 zippers, you're sure to find everything you could want in a tent, in this model. Don't forget to add a footprint to protect your tent floor.
