FirstLight Tent: 3-Person 4-Season

Buy something else

Not weather proof, not the lightest for the size and definitely not a 3 person tent. You can fit two normal sized people and one backpack in here. Very disappointing. Tent gets wet and holds onto moisture inside the tent even with door wide open all night. Easy to set up, but heavy for how much they charge, doesn’t pack down super well considering the price point. For the same price there are hundreds of other tents that wildly outperform the BD firstlight. I have tried all 4 seasons in this tent and always go back to my Seek Outside or Outdoor Vitals tents. Significantly better for the same price or less.

Great Tent!

During a recent backcountry ski trip, I had the opportunity to evaluate the performance of my new Firstlight 3P tent. I was highly impressed with its ability to withstand wind speeds of 45 mph and heavy snowfall. However, I would award it a rating of five stars if it included a vestibule. The absence of a vestibule means that opening the door in inclement weather allows snow and rain to enter the tent, which constitutes the only design flaw I observed.

I love the size and

I love the size and weight, is super light and small to carry on the backpack. The only problem I had was the condensation, even with the zipper a little bit open. But the rest is so good

Best revision to the original I tent from bibler

Compared to the original I tent from bibler, this tent has improved materials with the same architecture. Best 4 season and by weight EVER!

Great tent

I have had the firstlight 2 person tent for years. I think it’s the best lightweight option for the money. I’m heading to Alaska soon so I got the 3 person to make room for some more gear. I am confident it will keep me dry.

great tent but had to upgrade

really saw the benefit of this tent but needed the added waterproof capabilities the Hilight provides. Again great tent otherwise am in the process of returning and have ordered the new tent system.

Wettest night in a tent

If you enjoy condensation in decent weather, and waking up to constant dripping if it rains this tent is for you! Easy set up, decent weight, but just can’t rely on it after waking up with all gear, boots etc soaked after bringing inside the tent to prevent just that.

NOT FOUR SEASON

I took my boy on his first back pack trip using this tent and it rained. He never wants to go again now. We got very wet. Do not use this tent unless you know it's going to be good weather the entire time.

I purchased this item and hiked deep into the woods for a few nights. This item was light and had plenty of room compared to other tents that my friends had.

All around great tent

I’ve been issuing REI tents for years, thought I’d give this one a go. It is insanely light and quick to set up. It’s handled well in snow storms up in the Wasatch and windstorms out in Moab. Make sure you grab a ground layer, but other than that it’s a great purchase
