Reviews & Ratings for ALPS Mountaineering Extreme 3 Tent - 3 Person, 3 Season — 5 reviews — Page 1

I literally got this tent and strep throat on the same day, so my weekend camping plans are out the window. However, I did set the tent up in my basement and note that it looks great, and has as many, or more, bells and whistles than other top name brand tents I've owned and used. Set up is easy with color coded poles and webbing grommets. The tent and fly stitching along seams, zippers and guy outs all look good. The fly seams are factory taped and also look good. The 2 doors have both a mesh and tent fabric layer that can be independently zipped and unzipped, which, in addition to privacy, should help customize both warmth and ventilation. The windows on each end and ceiling "skylight" panels are strictly mesh, and the windows can be unzipped allowing access to small ventable dormer pockets on each end of the fly. The floor is generally spacious for one, and could fit 2 w/o hassle. I would not try 3, unless one is a small child or pet. The storage bag is nice, but it's a tight squeeze to fit everything back in. I'll need to play with that.
Note: I separately bought the footprint for this same model and it is constructed from 2 large fabric panels that are stitched together across the middle. That seam is NOT taped or sealed, although the fabric does appear to be treated for water repellency. I will be sealing that seam.
I will try to update this review once I've got some real use in it. Over-all I'm impressed with the design and construction right out of the box.

This is my first alps tent but so far This tent has met all my expectations. I really like the vent/windows that are accessible from inside the tent. The dual vestibules/double doors are both spacious and helpful.

Satisfied w the tent but very disappointed not to have been shipped the floor mat that was promised as well. I have contacted CS and am awaiting a refund or the floor mat. I am hoping the matter will be resolved shortly.

We summited Mt. Rainier with this tent. Very satisfied with the design, easy to build!
