Teton Sports Mountain Ultra Tents, 1-4 Person Backpacking Tent, Lightweight, Perfect for Camping, Hiking and Backpacking – Waterproof and Built to Last

One day, I would like just to review tents because there isn't much information out there except for sponsored reviews that show how it is set up and some reviews of whether they leak, or how much they weigh when putting them on your backpack before you hike for 1000 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Unfortunately, I still have to provide for my family, so I will review the ones I get as I get them. This tent is solid. It has high-quality parts and pieces, goes up easily, and is a good tent overall. When I got it, I wanted something I could take out that was small and practical for one or two night excursions without bringing all the extra stuff. Still, I wanted it to be breathable and have enough room to set up a cot in because I'm old enough that I don't like sleeping on the ground anymore. When I opened the box and saw the aluminum poles, I knew I was in for a surprise. Like most guys do, I didn't break out the instructions and decided just to see if I could get the thing pitched (inside, of course, because don't we all set up a tent to test in the living room first?). Within maybe five minutes, it was set up as a basic tent. The tent is a large tub bottom with a mesh upper 3/4 and doors on both ends. If you're summer camping and there's no rain in the forecast, you can sleep like you're not in a tent without waking up looking like you have mumps from the mosquitoes attacking you all night. If there is a chance of rain or you just want to stay warm if it's cooler out, you can put on the rain fly that covers the entire tent, with side vents, and vestibules on both ends. It doesn't get stuffy inside because the airflow from the vents and physical separation between the mesh and the fly let air move around. Everything about it feels high quality, which hasn't changed in the 20+ times I have used it. It never feels like I need to bring a backup with me. It is an excellent tent for a reasonable price that you will have for years to come.

I decided to try camping for the first time and the TETON Sports Mountain Ultra 2 person tent seemed like a good place to start. The reviews on Amazon were good, and the price seemed reasonable. I did some additional research on the tent also, and those reviews were generally very positive. It got used for the first time over 3 nights last week. The first camping trip was two nights, and the tent was used by my sister-in-law and nephew. My wife and I used a different tent. They reported that the TETON Sports Mountain Ultra worked fine; they had enough room, the tent didn’t leak during a moderate rain, had good ventilation, and no condensation. The setup and takedown were easy and quick. Everything fit back into the pouch with no trouble. After being home for a day, my wife left on a girls’ trip, so I decided to do a one night camping trip to try the TETON myself. I was impressed. The design is very good, and there is adequate airflow due to multiple vents that can be propped open. The fabric of the tent and fly seem to be of good quality, and the zippers worked smoothly. I experienced some light rain, and I had no leaks. There is good storage inside with a hammock net connected to the ceiling by its 4 corners. There is also a hook that was perfect for hanging a small lantern. I’m very happy with the TETON Sports Mountain Ultra Tent, and I highly recommend it.

Best tent for the money, easy setup, last one held up for many years, last trip it finally failed in heavy rain, up until then it was the perfect tent , just bought another, set up in less than 5 minutes

I picked up this tent to have a simpler set up rather than my Alaskan Guide 6-man tent. When looking at tents I always cut the number of people they say it can hold in half. This is called a four-man tent and that is ridicules, I would say two conferrable. The build quality is very good as is the protection from the weather. I picked up a 10 x 10 tarp to use in concert with the tent. You cannot stand inside this tent, so the tarp gives me standing space just outside the front door while having cover from the weather. Very easy to set up and take down and with all the mesh a good choice for three season use. Not too heavy with room for my cot and a side table. The six-man tent still goes along but is only used if we have a lot of bad weather for the group to sit inside of and play cards or board games. That one takes 45 minutes to an hour to set up where this tent can be set up in ten minutes. If you are looking for a budget tent, for the money you can't go wrong with this one. We did have two days of rain on the last trip, and it stayed bone dry. Blocked the wind but had outstanding breathability so no moisture builds up inside the tent. If there is anything I would change that would be the stakes that comes with the tent. They are not bad, but I would recommend an up-grade to something a little stronger. They have a propensity to bend in hard-packed soil and are not long enough for soft/sandy soil. In closing a good tent with excellent weather protection. A fair price for what you receive without cutting corners. For one or two plenty of room and comfort. Consider a tarp, so you have stand up room and a front porch.

Survived the oregon fall down pour!! This is a great tent. A little smaller than I thought but it was easy to assemble and pack away. Love that there is a different colored clip to know which corner attaches where, that was a very helpful design. No leaks, no bugs, no holes. Highly recommend!

I bought a 2 person mountain Ultra a few months ago, and found it very well made except for the stakes. I liked it enough that I just purchased the 4 person. I use them for motorcycle camping. For that, the 4 person makes more sense. It is only a bit larger packed, but has roughly 2x the interior volume. Both are quite heavy for backpacking, but are just about perfect for motocamping. About the stakes. Just plan on buying better tent stakes. I couldn't understand why Teton Sports only includes 10 stakes when the setup is best with 12....until I tried to set it up with 12 (borrowing 2 from the other tent). The 2 side stakes immediately pulled out of the ground with just a gentle breeze. TS knows they just won't work. So much about this tent is above expected quality, it is disappointing that TS cheaped out on the stakes. Just budget another $10 or so for better stakes and you will have a great tent. Super waterproof (especially with a coating of Scotch Guard on the rainfly), great ventilation, even with the rainfly fulling buttoned down. Very happy with both, but I just like the greater space in the 4 person. BTW, because they are essentially the same design, they take about the same time to put up. Maybe 10% longer for the 4 person getting the rainfly in place.

I own a Durston 2 Person tent. A great light-weight tent that requires two trekking poles to stand up. I would use it on long backpacking trips. The Teton is heavier and I would not take it on long backpacking trips. However, it is a very nice tent that is actually easier to set up than the Durston. It is very roomy inside and has four pocket to store your things. It sits tall enough where I am not hunched over. I can easiely stretch out. I am 6’2”. It comes with heavy duty shepherd hook (not flimsy ones). The tent can be set up with or without the rain fly. The rain fly has a colored clip so you know it is positioned correctly and tie plenty of down points.. The tent has two doors with large vestibules. The tent is seal treated and no rain gets in. The zippers are solid. It comes with a very nice storage bag that easily accomodates the tent, the rainfly, poles, and tent stakes. I am happy with this purchase.

Well worth the cost. Easy to put up, seams are taped and sealed, no loose stitching, zippers functioned fine, very fine mesh, well ventilated no condensation issues, and bone dry waterproof rainfly and inner bathtub. This 4 person tent is for car camping only. Replaced the tent stakes, but usually do on all my tents. Two adults with 2 small dogs with all our gear and we had plenty of room. Good head room with room to stretch. In fact next time I’m bringing 2 low profile cots for us to sleep on. Light to moderate rain for 2 days and a night and the inner tent stayed bone dry. Good 3 season tent. Exceptional tent for the cost. It compares with more expensive brands, which aren’t always well made compared to this Teton. I would recommend to any of my friends and family.
