HappyTheCamper's Review of Black Diamond Mega Light

I bought this for winter camping, and, while I haven't used it yet, here are my initial observations.

* Easiest tent I've ever set up
* Rather pricey, considering what you get, so look for sales like I did
* Roomy, but not as roomy as it looks, given the steeply sloped walls
* Advertised as a four person tent, but with winter gear and due to the wall angle I think two person would be a more accurate description
* I know this tent has been around for years and maybe Black Diamond has a good reason for not putting more guy outs on the side walls, but for the life of me, I can't imagine why they don't. It really needs more guy out points - they would add stability and room.
* The tent coupler is not intuitive and needs instructions - better yet a link to an instructional video (or maybe I'm just an idiot)
* Since this is often used in winter, it'd be nice is BD offered an optional stove jack. I'll have to add my own.
* Sealing the seams is a pain in the bum!

Again, these are my initial observations.
Pros:
  • weight
  • Design
  • ease of setup
Cons:
  • seams not sealed
  • needs more guy out points
  • no stove jack option
Would Recommend: Yes
