Rei Co-OP Base Camp 6 Review: All-Weather, Family Tent All Season

When my wife I had children, one of the first things we did was get Larger tent. Fifteen years ago, the most beautiful camping tent that I was able to find was the RI6 kingdom. After all these years, this tent is still strong (a friend outside the camp now), but it turned out that we never needed all that room. I was trading happily in that room for more strength in stormy weather, which seems to have always finds me when I was in camping, and smaller manufacture that fits more sites.

This is exactly what the Rei Base Camp 6 is offered. It’s smaller in a generally living space than Kingdom 6, but in my test, it was much better in the wind while still large enough for a five -year -old sleep.

Before I dive into the basic camp, I must point out that although Rei no longer makes the kingdom 6, it makes something close to Wonders 6It is an option that I will eventually discuss. I decided to swap the space for a stronger design for the basic camp. I also like the form of Squarer of the Base Camp is suitable for smaller camping sites.

The Ri Co-OP Base Camp is available in sizes of four people and six people. I tested the basic camp 6, which I say comfortably is equal to five adults and is ideal for two adults, two teenagers and one 10 years old. ReI specifications demand an area of 84.3 square feet of the interior space, which, compared to the rest of the family camping tents in our guide, is almost average of the tent of six people. Technically, you can technically fit the six sleep pads, but it will be tight, which is largely for the cycle in the tents. If you want to experience a better living daily, you will reach at least one person than your actual group size.

One of the things that the main camp has that makes the feeling of more obstacles is a large number of pockets and roof roof to store clothes and equipment outside the road. There are 14 retinal package around the tent (more or less lower lower part of the tent is mesh pockets). Maintaining things is arranged and organized always makes life in a better tent.

There are two huge doors with complete clouds, so you can completely open it when it loads things in it. The top of the tent is a mesh, and there are two three -network openings on both sides of the tent, along with network panels on the doors. All of these can be closed with the zipper except for the ceiling, which is just a mesh. All ventilation options are united to make this tent great for the warmer nights as there is a way to move the air regardless of the way the wind blows. Even when it is dead, it is good to know that some heat escapes from the top of the tent. There are also holes in rain style, which can be open to allow breeze even during the storm.
