"Amazon isn't the first place most of us go for outdoor gear, but the retail giant does stock a few good brands, and there are some deals right now during Prime Big Deal Days. Most of the good deals on outdoor gear right now, though, are at Backcountry and Public Lands, both of which are having sales. We've combed through the deals and picked the best ones based on all our testing. We only recommend the gear we actually like and use ourselves."
"This is a great deal on our favorite 3-person backpacking tent, though we also like the 2-person model, which is what's on sale here. Nemo's Dagger Osmo is roomy for the weight, with steep sidewalls and generous living space. I've found that the nylon-polyester blend (the Osmo fabric that gives the tent its name) really does stretch less and repels water more than nylon alone, without misting as much as pure silpoly."
"The Big Agnes Copper Spur series is our top pick for freestanding ultralight tents. This is a high-quality, well-designed tent that's lightweight, easy to set up, and roomy enough to be livable in the backcountry. The "awning" design (with trekking poles or sticks) is a nice extra, and the mix of 15D nylon and 20D ripstop, which feels fragile, has held up well over time."
Amazon carries some outdoor brands but most strong outdoor-gear deals during Prime Big Deal Days are at Backcountry and Public Lands. Deals were chosen based on testing and only gear actually liked and used is recommended. Nemo's Dagger Osmo provides roomy living space for its weight, steep sidewalls, and an Osmo nylon-polyester blend that stretches less, repels water better than nylon, and mists less than silpoly, yielding a sturdy tent usable in snow despite a three-season rating. The Big Agnes Copper Spur series is a freestanding ultralight top pick: lightweight, easy to set up, roomy, with an awning option and durable 15D/20D fabrics; last year's models are on sale.
