Big Sky Chinook 2P 4 Season Tent Review - Trail Hiking Australia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Made for more serious adventures such as snow camping, mountaineering and multi-day hikes, the Chinook is designed to perform at its peak in high-wind areas and snow. Starting from the exterior, the Chinook offers double-wall protection from the elements with enough room inside the tent for you, your hiking buddy and smaller packed items. The exoskeleton design, the same as the Revolution, consists of three sturdy aluminum poles secured to the outside of the fly. What this achieves is a super-taut pitch that allows you to setup your tent in any weather without exposing the interior to the elements. We optioned the snow skirts on the fly which add an additional layer of protection by extending the fly down onto the ground. You can bury the overlap under the snow to help keep the weather out and the warmth in.

Thanks for this great review. I looked into this tent a while ago and there were no useful reviews around at the time.
+Dennis Radermacher. No trouble at all. Glad you enjoyed it. They have new versions coming out soon with non slip floors
Thanks very much. Looking at buying one.
Looks like a cross between Andrew Garfield and Colin Farrell (the presenter, not the tent). :) Thanks for the video. It was informative.
Would you recommend this for Tasmanian Autumn treking on Overland track . Cheers
I actually took this tent on the Overland Track in 2016. I would highly recommend it.
Hi, thanks for the review. Do you also have any experience with the Chinook 1P plus tent?
Johnny B. I have a chinook 2P with snow skirts. It is a 4 season tent and I actually prefer it over the revolution. The main reason is that the floor is rectangular instead of extending into the vestibule which means that you can store a lot more gear outside your tent and is better for cooking under the vestibule. Mine also has solid walls instead of mesh which makes it a lot warmer inside. This I great in snow or cold weather but condensation can built up a bit on warmer nights.
Why is this tent so flappy? Does it tense up when you stake it out?
Yes it does. I haven’t used the ropes in this video
These tents have a lot of Q.C. Issues at the price point that is a clear deal breaker.. Better quality around for far less money..
Great tent, the problem is the price, I must sell a kidney to buy one.
Good thing you have two kidneys :)
Too expensive for my taste........ I'll recommend you save some money......a Geertop 2 person 4 season tent at $95 is more at my price range.
