I bought this tent for an expedition to Alaska because i liked its smaller sibling, the Fitzroy, so much. The Bomb Shelter is bombproof in bad weather, it's big enough to comfortably sleep a team of 3, its design is minimalist enough for hauling around on a long trip, and its yellow wall color is cheerful even on bad weather or rest days. I suggest buying an "attic" so that you have an off-the-floor platform for drying gloves etc.
This is my Tent!

If you're looking for a tent for extreme winter camping then look no further. The main reason this single walled tent kick's so much butt, is the (Bibler) material is perfectly waterproof, amazingly durable and ridiculously breathable. The interior poles stretch the tent as tight as a drum, meaning wind and snow load have very little effect. But, the beauty is the almost total absence of condensation after even very cold nights. During the day, what little moisture that has crystallized on th...e roof of the tent, is evaporated through the material instead of melting and dripping on your sleeping bag. I've used mine for weeks at a time in windy Patagonia, rainy North Cascades, frigged interior British Columbia, as well as snowy Alaskan Glacier's and have been totally satisfied in every weather condition. The single walled design means you have less material and more interior space, without sacrificing a thing! If I was to alter anything about this tent, it would be to add a bit more space in the vestibule and to get them for all my friends, so they can stop being jealous.

I don't want reflectiveness outside of tent. Does this tent come like that? Also, is this the only color it comes in? Looking for dark color like brown, black, dark green or camo. Thanks

The tent has reflective strips where the tie downs attach to the tent. The yellow Todd-Tex with grey vestibules is the only color. It brightens up the long weatherbound stints one is often up against when employing this tent. Good tent. Not a lot of head room but the design is bulletproof in wicked weather.

Has seam seal been applied to the tent? I am worried about whether it leaks water or not. Please advise, thank you.

Great question! This tent comes completely waterproof out of the box, so don't worry about leaks. There is seam tape on the inside of the tent, but I would recommend seam sealing the outside in addition to the seam tape for two reasons. 1) You don't want water sitting inside the seams of the tent (even though it's not getting in because of the seam tape on the inside) 2) It will also increase the life of the tent being that water won't create mold or damage the seams after time or when packed . Stay safe and have fun out there! Neal
