Comparison
Which is better? Alps Mountaineering Lynx 1 person or the High Peak Pacific Crest 4 person. Alps tent is UV resistant making it a great summer tent while the High peak outdoors can withstand high windy very well.
Although the Alps is a heavy duty tent for mountaineers encountering wind, rain, and snow by implementing factory sealed seams. Although the tent is not ideal for backpacking since it weighs 4.2 pounds.
The High Peak Pacific Crest is an impressive tent though because it offers a durable strong tent at a very affordable price.
Although the usability of the High Peak is very limited, its not very great against rain and needs waterproofing. It has problems with expelling heat during the summer time.
The Alps is a great tent that can be used in multiple different scenarios since its made to be a mountaineer tent. High Peak can only be used under windy cold conditions, since the use is quite limited the Alps tent is the clear winner.
