Expert Reviews
- Wouldn’t qualify as ultralight.
- Setting up the tent can feel very difficult at first, despite being easy after knowing what to do.
- A little less convenient than tents that pitch from the outside.
- Uses twist-ties instead of Velcro closure, which may not be ideal for some people.
- A third pole would be beneficial during high-altitude adventures where wind and snow load could be issues.
- Only one vent in the room area of the tent, for limited breathability.
Summary:
The Black Diamond Eldorado Tent: 2-Person 4-Season is a top-of-the-line four-season tent that is light enough to take on extended high alpine adventures and durable enough to trust. The somewhat limited ventilation makes this not the best choice for backpacking in humid conditions, but the versatility and toughness make it a great choice for any other intense adventure.
