Absaroka 4P Tent

Overall I've had a good experience with this tent, but I'm still getting to know it and we've had a few bumps along the way. It seems very strong despite the very light weight, it is very rainproof when pitched properly and seam sealed, it is pretty quick to pitch and take down, and I like the ability to just use trekking poles rather than carry 1 or more dedicated tent poles. The tent does seem to have more of a problem with condensation inside than other tents I have owned and used. This can be tricky where the weather dictates keeping both doors closed and the tent pitched low. The half insert is difficult to fit in just right without having the mesh contact the walls (again, condensation issues), it's a little tricky to pitch the tent just right (always seems like one wall panel is loose or something), and for the price this tent should absolutely come seam taped and have a center pole (even if just aluminum rather than the carbon fiber one argali sells). I bought the GuideX trekking poles from them (also very expensive but made sense for my situation), but I would strongly advise just getting a cheap tarp pole like the Alps Mountaineering one or buying a cheap solution to lash two trekking poles together rather than buying the $90 pole. Seam sealing wasn't that hard but took time and I don't really get why it's not seam taped/sealed out of the factory. It's made in china/korea so it shouldn't be that much more expensive to Argali to have that done I wouldn't think. Also only comes with 8 stakes, so if you want to guy it out (you will need to if more than one person is sleeping inside and/or you have strong wind), you will have to buy at least one 6-pack from Argali (Not too expensive but IMO they should have included 12+ stakes for the price).

Again, great tent for the most part and impressively light and backpackable, just falls slightly short of perfect.

Took my 4P to Colorado last year for my elk hunt. Absolutely loved it, and held up nice in the snowfall, and changing temps. Ran it floorless for less weight, but excited to try out the insert on some fall camping trips with the kids. Just snagged the stove as well so I'm excited to run that this year!

I received my absaroka tent just before the montana 2026 archery opener. I have been using a MSR hubba hubba 2p backpacking tent for years now and I was blow away that my new absaroka was 1/2 the weight and less than 1/2 the packed space from my old tent. Easy set up, tons of room. Definitely a worth while upgrade. By myself it's a castle, it will be the right for for my 2 small children dog and wife on both front country and backcountry camping. Will recommend

This is my first experience with a tipi style tent. The initial setup in my back yard was easy and took about 5 minutes. My kids slept in it that first night and it rained most of the night. I was expecting one of them to bail and come into the house part way through the night, but they all stayed dry and slept well. The first field test will be on several Montana elk hunts in Nov. The space you get for the weight is great and I looking forward to the layout for my hunting buddy and I compared to our smaller freestanding which was about the same weight. Dyneema would be nice, but so far very please with the sil-poly.

Great tent have had it over a year now, factory seam seal, plus I have the carbon center pole and 4 person bug insert, and recently have been debating the 1/2 floor for stove camping but i usually hunt with a friend and we use tyvek as our barrier.

I would love if there was a full floor insert that clipped into the tent with a removable panel in the middle and sides that folded up to keep water out like the peax floor liner, seems like the way to go, if the peax one fit id buy it and use it in my argali.

Besides that no complaints, never had an issue with the tent, just wish there was a full floor i could use with the stove

Love it so far got it jun 17 2026 !!! Suffered for many years in a normal tent out elk,deer and bear hunting ! Super excited to get a stove for it an run it all season ! Seam sealed it first thing an added some side lines too it for wind ! Cant thank yall enough for the fast shipping even tho im in idaho.

Amazing size, quality and light weight. I’m 6’6 and have plenty of room to get dressed and extra foot room laying down in the half insert which is easy to install. I didn’t need instructions to set up everything was easy to figure out and just makes sense. Buying the stove next!

Nice, lightweight tent with lots of room. Easy to set up and stove fits nice. Need to get it into the mountains.

So far I love this tent. No sagging when wet. Loaded with room for 1 person. I can get all my gear, stove and still have the other half for sleeping. Reflecting tabs are pretty sweet in the dark. When you’re tired and walking back into camp. I write this with a solid five star. I actually ordered the half insert for it during the summer and spring looking forward to that.

This tent is amazing. Super simple to set up, extremely light weight, and perfect for any season. What more could you want? Great for backpacking into the mountains or a quick base camp. The stove is so simple to set up, lightweight, and keeps you comfortable at night when the temperature drops. We have the half nest, which makes it great to separate your sleeping section from your gear that you want to stay dry from the elements. But, I can see why pitching without the nest also works well, and will eliminate a few more ounces from your pack.

Stove is definitely necessary when in cold temps. Moisture will accumulate without a stove and walls are thin. With that being said it’s a great backcountry tent weight wise. Used it in successful Montana and Idaho hunts.

Just used the 4 person tent and stove for 11 nights in Montana rifle season. Tent and stove both did unbelievably great. Being I am from Georgia, I have grit my teeth and backpack in. I was able to stay in a snow storm and temps down to 0. I cant say enough good things about this setup. Highly, Highly recommend.

I wanted to wait to get some nights in the tent before posting a review. I’ve had the opportunity to run this shelter on a mountain goat hunt, bighorn sheep hunt, elk hunt, and several camping trips. Some of them I went floorless and some of them with a half insert for bugs.

The space to weight ratio of the tent is unmatched. This proved particularly valuable mountain goat hunting, where we had space to cook and weather a storm comfortably from inside the tent. I was nervous about high winds camping on exposed ridge lines but with good staking it proved a none issue. The rectangular shape makes it easier to efficiently use the space compared to other tipi designs which are round. Pitching was intuitive. The provided stakes are adequate but could stand to be a little beefier.

Condensation can be an issue if the tent is pitched tight to the ground but can easily be offset by pitching the tent higher. The added space also makes it easier to just sleep a few inches away from the tent, the half insert comfortably fits two large men.

Overall this has become my go to shelter because it allows me to carry the weight of a bivy but have the space of a 4 man standalone tent.

I purchased the 4P Argali Absaroka back in the summer of 2022. I use it about 30 nights a season between spring bear hunts and fall deer hunts. I like to wait on reviews till I have really put things to the test. This is hands down my favorite shelter all time. Wind, rain, snow, ease of setup, durability, weight - I love it. Highly recommended, picture attached is from a blizzard that rolled in on our hunt country mule deer hunt this year. The tent was still standing without any issues, even with the extreme amount of weight on it. Just a strong, built to last tent!

This is my second Teepee Hot Tent. My first tent is a Pomoly, I really like it, but it is not adventure motorcycle camping friendly as it packs large and is heavy. I now have 5 trips with the Absaroka it has seen some fairly heavy wind and rain here in central Montana. No leaks at all. This thing is bomb proof! I will definitely order the 1/2 inner tent kit. I have been using my Pomoly Wood stove and it is easy to get the lower section of the tent to 70 degrees in 30 degree weather.

Awesome tent . Great tent for the money and every light wieght.

We were on a sheep hunt, and the weather turned worse. It was awesome to fire up the stove to dry out. It would have been nice to have our eight-man vs. four-man with three dudes and the stove, but it worked well. I highly recommend their products.

Very pleased with the quality and design of this tent. I've used a number of pyramid style tents from other brands and I was immediately struck by the build quality of the Absaroka. I didn't realize until I set it up that it has a door on two sides, which I'm a huge fan of. Just finished a successful 8 day elk hunt at 10,000ft. With two people we had plenty of space for the Skyline stove and all of our gear. Can't wait to use on more trips

Great tent, light weight, and easy to assemble and disassemble. Used for 8 nights in northern Idaho with 3 people. Room for portable wood stove. (Would be tight with 4 people and wood stove.)
