The ALPS Mountaineering Taurus 5 Outfitter Tent features oversized #10 door zippers and a heavy duty nylon oxford floor. The zippers will give you a lifetime of smooth operation and the oxford floor is about twice the weight of normal nylon floor material, greatly increasing its durability. The poles are made of aircraft alloy 7000 series aluminum that is strong and lightweight. Assembly is really easy with the tent clips that just snap in place over the poles. The polyester fly and oxford floor are urethane coated, with factory sealed seams for maximum weatherproofness. The two doors make getting in and out of the tent much easier. You also get two vestibules (one over each door) that you can use for extra gear storage. The vestibules also serve as automatic guy-out points when the weather gets a little nasty. The fly buckles to the tent, offering a much more secure attachment when compared to elastic cord. Mesh roof vents increase ventilation and improve star gazing. Included: Rain fly, 7000 Series Aluminum Poles, Pole Bag, Stake Bag, 7001 Aluminum Stakes, Guy Rope, Repair Swatches, Gear Loft, Mesh Storage Pockets, and Tent Bag. TAURUS OUTFITTER 5: Base Size: 8’ x 10’, Center Height: 6’, Vestibule Depth: 38”, Tent Area: 80 square feet, Vestibule Area: 32 square feet, Total Weight: 14 pounds, 4 ounces, Packed Size: 10” x 23”; Pole Diameter: 11 mm.

When I first purchased it, I contemplated sealing the seams… No need! The seams are already very well sealed. I also wanted to get a tarp to lay underneath… Again, no need! The floor is plenty thick enough and I believe if you…
ALPS Mountaineering Taurus 5 Outfitter Tent – not so durable – Replacement was a Charm as was Customer Service I knew I wanted an ALPS tent after looking and reading reviews for the last 6 months, then learned they had this heavy duty version of some of their tents, labeled “Outfitter”. Almost 2x the cost of their standard tent, I thought this could potentially be the last tent I buy for this purpose.I received the tent a day prior to it’s first journey, but didn’t have time to set it up prior, and my arrival time to the site was 10 minutes before sunset. Not the best way to set up a new…
It’s A Beast! Everything about this tent is HEAVY DUTY! It’s been out car glamping “castle” for over a year now and has worked out very well. It goes up as easily as any gigantic dome tent; more than possible for one person, easy for two people. The tub is thick and durable -it stands up to our 55lb. dog, no problem. The zippers are smooth and big. The rain fly covers the whole tent(you’d think Coleman actually includes a blue tarp with their tents) and does its job perfectly, laughing in the…
