REI Tent Review
Posted by admin under: Equipment .
The Gear Junkie wants to tell you about an REI backpacking tent so I’ll repeat for him so the word gets out a little farther.
The REI Cirque ASL 2 is built for three-season use — spring, summer, fall — plus “light winter weather,” according to the company.
Made for two people, the Cirque ASL 2 costs $269 — not as cheap as my first tent years ago, but still a value. The tent, a two-pole design, sets up quickly and provides the bare bones essentials expected in a backpacking model plus dual doors and vestibules for stowing packs and gear.
He thinks it’s decent, but I know I’m not spending nearly $300 on what is essentially a personal tent. Gear Junkie usually has good advice so if he’s recommending it you should give that due consideration.
