REI Passage

The REI Passage is a simple, two-person tent perfect for backpacking. This lightweight tent is durable and made specifically for two people with two separate side doors, each containing it’s own vestibule, mesh pockets, and storage space. With these features, you don’t have to worry about disturbing your tent-mate by climbing over them to leave the tent. The REI Passage also features fully adjustable ceiling vents to help the inside temperature, humidity, and condensation. This tent has a rectangular floor plan so it’s easy to set up the tent between sleeping bags and gear. In addition, the REI Passage also has a seam-sealed polyester fly that allows for not only a waterproof shelter, but also a non-sag shelter. This tent can also become a minimalist shelter by only using the fly, stakes, poles and foodprint (sold separately). The REI Passage includes 6 stakes, 3 guylines with tighteners, and compression stuff sack.

Reviews claim that this tent is best for backpacking and there were relatively few complaints about the REI passage. One reviewer claimed tent set up was easy even in difficult winds. They claim there was spacious room to double their space with a kitchen set-up while also using the vestibules to store 85 liter bags. Reviewers claim to have kept warm in this tent through snow storms, heavy downpour, and in temperatures as low as 18 degrees. The majority of reviewers said they were extremely impressed with this tent and it was one of the best two person tents they have used.
