J. Ultra's Review of Big Agnes Sheep Mountain Tent - 3 Person, 3 Season Clearance

After reading a couple of the very detailed reviews I decided to try out this tent considering it is/was on clearance for a great price. I motorcycle camp and usually use a 4 man tent which gives plenty of space (and height) for one or two people and their gear. I thought I would try this "3 person tent" and see if it would be adequate for just me. I set up the tent in my living room and I must say this is the easiest tent I've ever put up, even easier than my Eureka Timberline 4. Only two main poles and a spreader pole. I was impressed with the heavy duty construction and quality of the tent and materials. The #10 YKK zippers are very robust and silky smooth. The tent fly is super heavy duty and weighs more than the tent itself and has a couple of large vents. Ventilation is good and I like the higher walls for privacy if the fly is not needed rather than the all mesh that a lot of tents are going to these days. floor space is adequate for one or two people and not be cramped. I was able to set up my "Helinox cot one" inside the tent although it was a tight fit. The listed 70"x 90" listed floor space is a somewhat less in actual use. When laying on my cot my head was very close to the tapered ends or the tent. Unfortunately the deal breaker for me is the height of the tent. At around 46" I just need more headroom. At 70yrs old I'm not as flexible as I used to be. I knew the height of the tent before I bought it but I thought I would give it a try anyway. At 5'11 I was "hunched" over even when kneeling, just not enough headroom for me to easily get dressed. Unfortunately for me this tent didn't work out because I just need more interior height. With my Timberline 4 I can actually step in and out of the tent. With the Sheep Mountain 3 I have to crawl in. If the space requirements and headroom of this tent will work for you then grab this tent while it is on clearance, it is a fantastic buy for a tent of such high quality.
