In most tents this size, the porch is just about big enough to stack up your backpacks and boots. Not so with the Snow Peak Amenity Dome. That front vestibule is generous enough to cook in, sit in, or pile your gear into so the inner stays clear for quality shut-eye. Peg the front flap out with poles and you've got a sheltered little room to sit with a cup of hot coffee on a drizzly morning. It’s officially a four-person tent, though more comfortable for three – and we reckon it would be fantastic as a roomy base camp for a couple car-camping or canoe touring with the dog. Cross-frame poles and a low-profile design handle strong winds, and colour-coded components make pitching straightforward. Also available in a smaller two-person size.
Snow Peak's journey began in 1958, when the founder Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of superior climbing gear. Snow Peak then looked to evolve by shifting its focus from the mountaineering equipment of the past to the camping equipment of the future. Fueled by the booming national interest in auto-camping sweeping across Japan, Snow Peak released a series of radically innovative products which focused on quality, functionality, timeless-durability and considered design.
