Product Description
The amazingly versatile Black Diamond Skylight 3-Person 3-Season Tent is equally at home in pouring west coast rain or sweltering desert heat. This tent so impressed the editors at Outside Magazine that they gave it the 2006 Gear of the Year Award. When the weather assures a tent-bound day, the EPIC canopy fabric fights off the water and provides excellent breathability. Stash your packs under the vestibule to keep them dry while you play cards inside. When the weather is so hot that you're afraid of melting, pull back the attached fly to expose the mesh half canopy of the Black Diamond Skylight Tent. This ability to drastically adjust ventilation makes the Skylight and excellent choice for nearly any weather short of winter storms.
Bottom Line: Soaking rain or sauna heat? Camp comfortably in both conditions with the Black Diamond Skylight Tent.
Owner Reviews
It will fit "three people" if you are "little (very little) people." I quantify it a two person only, with not much room for gear.
Defiantly a fussy setup.
I was very conservative seam sealing the tent according to specs, so don't forget to buy another tube as you will need it if you follow BD application instructions. Added cost to an already expensive tent.
Stitching on the outside fly is hanging out in 1/16in loops in places. Suspect the Silnet should cure that.
God hates a coward, I'll give it a try - haven't even been out with it yet (waiting for more Silnet via mail order)
So far, I’m not impressed.
