Catalyst Tent: 2-Person 3-Season

Great Price Great Quality

I have not tried it yet but it should be a great extra tent to have for friends and family

Better than the Aspen 2P

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy setup, good seams, just over 5 lb total. It’s a great tent

Well considered little tent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent was perfect for my solo glamping trip to Yosemite. Setup was easy and the color coded tabs were helpful. I liked the two vestibules and apprecited the included footprint. A couple more stakes would have been handy.

Great. Especially for price.

I carried this tent on my 3 day Pemi loop trek. Stayed two nights prior in it camping with my finance. The tent seems to be the perfect size for 1-2p without too much stuff. Kept dry, super easy to set up, especially by yourself with only a headlamp. I’d recommend something lighter for true backpacking trips, but, if you have claustrophobia issues, this tent offers plenty of room, and might be worth the 6lbs (with poles on my scale) for comfort. I’m using this as our main tent for treks less than 40 miles til I can afford something as quality but lighter.

I think I'll keep it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although we haven't yet been on a backpacking trip, we tried it out in an overnighter, in our backyard. We had ample room for our packs, both in the tent and the vestibule. I love the pockets and the center hook for hanging our light. I think I'll enjoy it. The rain cover was fine

Great car camping tent

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Size Bought:

2 person

Bought this tent for regular car camping excursions for year round recreation in New Mexico. Have used it once for 3 day outing in Jemez Mts during which time it rained for several hours one afternoon. Tent and fly kept me completely dry. Quality zippers all around. I like the roominess & extra headspace this tent provides. 3 interior pockets allow for organization of gear. The extra height & width of the larger door make it easy to get in and out of the tent. A bit heavy for bikepacking these days of ultra lightweight gear but for car camping this tent meets all my needs. The bright orange fly makes it easy to spot too. Enough room for 2, for solo camping it’s luxurious.

Solid Tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The catalyst is a solid tent that offers plenty of covered space. Well constructed and is worth the little bit of extra weight it carries. One downside is does not come with enough stakes

Great functioning tent

I really enjoyed this tent from the time I set it up in the house to my first camping trip with it. Easy to set up and I like the different ways you can configure the rain fly and vestibules. Thanks for the footprint too! I can see this tent being very warm and lacks some ventilation options other than the vestibules, the roll back option of the rain fly was nice and certainly let in much needed fresh air but there's no other ventilation available. Overall a great tent to get myself back into the outdoors, looking forward to using it more.

Works So Well, We Bought Another One!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our first Catalyst 2 person tent in 2018 for our son's scout campouts. He has used the tent 5-6 times per year since. It's been perfect for him and his fellow scouts to share for several years now. When our daughter recently needed a tent of her own, it was an easy decision for us to buy another Catalyst 2. I'm sure we'll have similar success with this one.
