The REI Half Dome SL 2+ is one of the most livable and comfortable backpacking tents in this review. It provides the most bang for the buck of any model in the category. With a spacious interior and thoughtful construction, it is a good choice for taller folks or anyone who opts to bring their pet on the adventure. We love it for its exceptional comfort, luxurious dimensions, and good ventilation, as well as its wide array of interior storage pockets.
All that interior space comes with additional weight. As one of the heaviest tents in our fleet, it is more than double the weight of the lightest models in the category. It may be inconsequential over short distances, especially split between two people, but for longer trips, we would look elsewhere. It is best suited for weekend backpacking, canoe trips, and car camping. Overall, this tent is a real rock star that comes at a comparatively affordable price.

If you’re looking for the right combination of performance and price, it’s hard to beat REI’s iconic Half Dome. This tent has gone through multiple iterations over the years, and the most recent SL (“superlight”) is one of the most balanced offerings yet. For $329 (price jumped by $50 recently), the SL is well-built, easy to set up and take down, relatively durable with a 40-denier floor, and has ample mesh for stargazing and ventilation. Yes, you can save with the cheaper REI Passage below, but there are real tradeoffs in terms of interior space, weight, and packed size. All told, we think the Half Dome is a great value for what you get and should keep many backpackers happy—it’s the tent we recommend most to family and friends.

For over $170 less than the top-rated Copper Spur, the Half Dome SL offers a bump in durability, and its generous dimensions (4 in. longer and wider than the Big Agnes) make it a very roomy tent for two. But you can’t have it all, and in the case of the SL the big compromise comes in terms of weight and bulk. At over a pound and a half heavier than the Copper Spur, “superlight” is a bit of a misnomer, although you can drop about 8 ounces by leaving the included footprint behind (the Big Agnes does not come with a footprint). Despite the nitpicks, we think the Half Dome SL is in a class of its own among value options, making it a reasonable choice for avid backpackers and beginners alike... Read in-depth reviewSee the REI Co-op Half Dome SL 2+

REI’s Passage above is a function-first tent that will save you a lot of cash, but their mid-range Half Dome SL 2+ is the more well-rounded design. For $329 (price unfortunately jumped $50 recently), you get a sizable boost in livability thanks to roomier dimensions and modern features like pre-bent poles and a ridge-pole structure, both of which spread out the headroom and create steeper walls throughout. It all adds up to a nice amount of space for two adults, and with the "plus" designation, you’ve got room to squeeze in a smaller companion like a child or canine, too. Impressively, the Half Dome still manages to check in 14.5 ounces lighter than the Passage, and the whole package is noticeably more premium: finishes like a DAC-brand hubbed pole set and larger vents and vestibules give the tent a high-end feel that goes head to head with many of the top designs on the market.

The main reason the Half Dome SL dips into the budget category is weight: while it’s reasonably light compared to base models like the Passage above, it can’t compete with top-tier tents like the Big Agnes Copper Spur ($500; 3 lbs. 2 oz.). Simply put, if you’re headed out for weeks at a time or plan to cover a lot of ground each day, it might be worth spending up. But you can drop 8 ounces by leaving the included footprint behind, and the robust 40-denier floor should stand up well to rocks and branches. And if you’re looking to keep both weight and cost low, a tent like the Big Agnes C Bar is worth a look, but you’ll give up a good deal of livability with a tapered floor plan and single-door design. All told, for the best of all worlds at a sub-$350 price point, the Half Dome SL is without rival—in fact, it’s the tent we recommend most to family and friends... Read in-depth reviewSee the REI Co-op Half Dome SL 2+

 [ Applause, ], [, Music, ], ah reaiize, quarter, dome SL 210. Is a two-person two-door, mostly mesh semi, freestanding tent. It boasts a full trail weight of only three pounds and will run you about 320 dollars. So with this tent you'll get the tent body and rain fly

 I see you got some Headroom up here still and the bottom. The air matches is all the way at the foot of the tent, so we can stick extra stuff or books that were reading or whatever. So what do you think me? Is this a good tent for us? Do you think this will work for us all right? Tell everyone bye, so I really do like this tent, but it's not for everybody. I was looking for a light option, not an ultra light option

 So what do you think me? Is this a good tent for us? Do you think this will work for us all right? Tell everyone bye, so I really do like this tent, but it's not for everybody. I was looking for a light option, not an ultra light option. I was also looking for something to fit two people, but not two people, my size, and I was looking for something that, if I wanted to, I could put an extra thick mattress pattern and this tent checked all those boxes. So if you are looking for a two-person tent that is ultra light, then this may not be the best choice for you, but if you're looking for a two-person tent - and this is in your price range - and this is something I think they should look into thanks - So much for watching my review of Ahri eyes, quarter, dome, SLT, tent

 We'Re gon na take a look at the build quality of the of the stitching and of the materials and make sure it's up to par. We'Re also gon na take a look and see if it's big enough for two people or just big enough for you and your gear. I'M gon na talk to an expert that I know in space and really more in taking up space than anything else and we'll see what she has to say about this as well all right and then I'm gon na throw a my two cents in on. If it's something that I want to keep in my bag and invest in, is it something you want to invest in or if it's something we just want to skip all together? So let's get started

REI Quarter Dome SL 2 Review (Tent)

My 10 year old is a Boy Scout and his patrol goes on monthly camp outs. The scouts must put up and take down their own tents by themselves each trip. I bought him a Coleman pop up tent, which is super easy to put up, but it requires adult strength to fold up and he can’t do it by himself.  It’s even difficult for me and other adults to get it folded up. The scout leaders insist we get him something he can manage completely on his own. 

Any recommendations on a simpler tent that a kid can manage?  Thanks.

Looking for a tent my 10 year old can put up and take down by himself

 Not only is it less than $ 250, but it's also just a great all-around tent. A version of this tent many years ago was my first set my yeah, it's just it's a really great backpacking tent. It does weigh about 5 pounds, 5 ounces or 4 pounds. 15 ounces minimum trail weight um, but it's also really good for car camping

 Ounces minimum trail weight, but that does include the footprint also since you're probably going to be going with a group of people, you can always divide up the fly and the body and the poles of the tent to divide weight. That way, it sounds pretty easy to set up too so we've got an orange hub pole and the orange pole goes to these orange tabs over here and then. We'Ve also got a pair of grey poles, which will go with the grey tabs up here and that will create the vertical walls and keep everything nice and far away from you, yeah there's a ton of interior volume in this tent, which makes it feel really livable. You also have two door entry and two large vestibules

 These vestibules are, I mean, they're massive, a ton of cupboard space on the outside of the tent if you're backpacking with three other people, you're, probably gon na - want that for storing your extra gear and our next category is gon na, be the best tent under $ 250, which is going to be the REI co-op Half Dome 2 plus. So I really feel like the REI. Co-Op. Half Dome 2 plus deserves a ton of credit

 Our first category is the best backpacking tent for solo backpacking, and for that we've chosen the REI co-op quarter, dome sl1, so in choosing the best tent for solo backpacking, we knew we were looking for something that was relatively light. We also wanted a lot of interior volume or interior space in the tent, since we knew we weren't going to go with a bivy. So if you're gon na go with the 10th, we wanted that added room. So this tent is pretty easy to set up

REI Co-op Gear Guide: Best Backpacking Tents

what's up everybody welcome to another
episode of the REI cough your guides I'm

Miranda and I'm hoe Tech and today we're
gonna be talking about the best

backpacking tent so you can find at REI
this year

so to pick our tents this year we talk
to our customers and our members in the

store while they were get picking up
their new tents and we also looked at

customer reviews and these are our picks
our first category is the best

backpacking tent for solo backpacking
and for that we've chosen the REI co-op

quarter dome sl1 so in choosing the best
tent for solo backpacking we knew we

were looking for something that was
relatively light we also wanted a lot of

interior volume or interior space in the
tent since we knew we weren't going to

go with a bivy
so if you're gonna go with the 10th we

wanted that added room so this tent is
pretty easy to set up it's actually a

single pole system so it's all hubbed in
right here and the poles are

color-coordinated it is asymmetric so
you've got a dark pole going over here

and you've got two brighter colored
poles out there this tent is semi

freestanding
which means that you have enough poles

to pop the whole tent up but you do need
to stake out the foot box so that's

going to be over here and over here just
to get all of your room yeah the main

difference with a semi freestanding
versus a free standing tent again is

that a freestanding tent with just the
poles you get all of your interior space

so many freestanding you need stakes to
get all of these interior volume right

this tent is a single door entry so
we've got one door and one vestibule in

the front of the tent this is a great
spot to store your dirty gear since this

is a small ish tent it's a lightweight
tent you probably have lightweight small

gear so you should be able to fit all of
that on the exterior since you're not

gonna want anything on the interior with
you it's gonna be tight so there's a two

numbers we want to pay attention to and
we're talking about weight of this tent

there's the package weight of the tent
which is two pounds six ounces and then

the minimum trail weight which is a
pound 15 so the package trail weight is

going to be everything you purchase with
the tent but the minimum trail weight

will only include the tent body the rain
fly at the poles and the stakes no

extras so if you leave all the bags
extra stakes and guylines at home you

can significantly drop on the weight of
the tent the peak height in this tent is

38 inches and you have almost vertical
sidewalls which really helps it not feel

like an attic they don't come in on you
otherwise it even the tent can be pretty

high it can feel really really tight
just cuz the walls are right up to your

necks to your face yeah and then there's
a number of pockets on the inside

this tent to help you organize your gear
and you do have a vent in the fly

our next category is going to be the
best tent for livability and that's

going to be the Big Agnes copper spur
hvu l2 so in choosing the best tent for

REI Co-op Half Dome SL 2+
