VERDICT: The Amenities Dome Tent L6 from Snow Peak is a solid tent for six people and has a medium size vestibule to keep all your gear. We do think it is a little on the side but if it lasts as long as they say it will, then it is worth it in the long run.

While the quality and waterproofing are as good as any high-end tent, the Tessin 5 has much better values and won’t break the bank.

Ventilation is quite good here, and this is a true double-layer tent. So, regarding seasons, I see it as a 3-seasons-plus. Full coverage fly.

There is no minimum or maximum amount of vestibule space you need to have in a tent, but there are some reasons why you might want a larger vestibule space than a smaller one.
