For years I have been singing the praises of the Mountain Ultra line of tents from Teton Sports.
The 1 person and 2 person versions of the tent are excellent for the money - top notch quality, excellent value, low price and an unmatched warranty.
Now it is time to take a look at the largest version which is a 4 person monster.
Together let's look at the tent, go over the features, check on the quality and see what we like and don’t like as far as the design goes.

I've had the Teton Mountain Ultra 4 tent for, this is the third year. I love this tent. Never had any issues or leaking problems. Comfortable, with great ventilation for 3 seasons. Highly recommend it.

Yes same here. I also have a Vista 2 pop up tent incredible.

I own two Teton Sports cots, with easy assembly arms, and two sleeping pads for each. Very high quality. The lever-arm cot is very nice. At my age 76, I cannot imagine having to fight a cot without this fantastic device. The sleeping pad is very well made and looks great as well. They are a great company who put thought and quality in their products. I just recently snagged a North Face Stormbreak 2 tent at a bargain price for bikepacking but have yet to use it. I will let you know how that goes. I have the North Face Wawona 8 and love it.

Even though I will not need most all of the products Luke reviews, I am always glad to see a company offering good value. Well done Teton Sports !!!

@pedantus 2 месяца назад

Left my Teton one person tent setup in the back yard, and a heavy overnight snow flattened it. When I removed the snow there was no real damage, it stood up just fine. That was three years ago, and I still use it...: )

Luke recommended this tent to me awhile back. Finally used it last November thru January. I was working out of town so I decided to camp 4 days a week for 2 plus months. I was in an actual campground with electricity for comfort. For extra winter comfort, I had an electric heater and a cot inside. Cot was tight but fit. I put a movers blanket over the tent, under the fly to help hold the heat in. Only on the really cold 30 degree night is when I got condensation. Barely any at all. The real test was when 2 storms came in back to back. Fun times lol! I woke up to the tent folded on me from sideways winds. It survived. The second storm was even stronger. I tied it off better and the tent held up completely without any damage! The only issue was the sideways rain coming in under the fly even I tied it off as close to the ground as possible. The rain could have came through the top vent holes like Luke mentioned. Winds were every bit of 30 to 40 mph. It was a test for sure!! Regular rain and breezes, this 4 person tent held up great. Thanks for recommending this tent!!

I'm a fan of Teton. My husband and I picked up a double Mammoth bag last year for car camping. It's gigantic but the comfiest I have ever been while camping as I run really cold. Wonderful customer service, too, as I had some questions before purchasing.

Luke mate, I just wanted to shout you out for putting metric conversion in your videos. Even after 2 years of living stateside, I still think in metric haha. Appreciate it - Onya mate!

@heidih2887 2 месяца назад

I'd think there's a large market for a tent like this... family camps, fishing camps, car/overland, and as you said, the pieces could be shared among the group to lighten loads if hiking/backpacking in to the camp. Those important features we love on good backpacking tents transferred over to "camping". :D As you have pointed out through many revues, many/most budget-friendly 4 person tents are not actually designed to handle significant weather events, and/or quality control is such that one might be semi-OK, another identical tent from the same shelf in the store might be a complete disaster with missing or damaged components etc. HOORAY for quality products that many individuals, families and organizations could afford and have a comfortable, dependable shelter!

I picked up the 2 person after your review. This tent is awesome. Kinda heavy but I appreciate your reviews. It led me to a good product and it was a great experience. Thank you.

@scotlackey9819 2 месяца назад

Agreed about the colors, there should always be a dark or earth tone color a lot of people like it when their campsite doesn’t draw attention

@1111Overland 2 месяца назад

A forest green would be incredible.

@cmc5394oparva 2 месяца назад

Besides the weird positioning of the vents, the only other negative I have for this tent so far is that the rainfly zipper tends to get caught on the rainflap if you don't use a finger to block it when you're opening and closing the rainfly. I think it probably has something to do with the material Teton uses, but it's a minor annoyance. Other than that, the "4-person" size is perfect for a long camping weekend for two people. Plenty of room for a couple of cots or sleeping pads and your stuff.

@PelinalWhitestrake_ 2 месяца назад

I'd just like to say, as a color blind person, color is very important to me in camping products. I do want earthy tones that will blend into a terrain without looking like camo or "tactical". I know you show the colors as you talk about them and some people are probably super bothered by this but I super appreciate it.

@janiedillingham3190 2 месяца назад

I thought at first that the tent was baby blue (that's what it looks like on my monitor). But white or light gray is an excellent color for summer (especially here in the south)! That light color will absolutely help keep it much cooler inside when the sun's blazing. I like this tent - a lot! Can't wait to see how it performs in the rain. Thanks!

@WilliamStout27 2 месяца назад

I bought this one because you reviewed a smaller version of it last year. It's great but heavy. I use it for truck camping all the time, Cheers.

@hreeves30 2 месяца назад

I have several items from them and the quality is great!! I have the XXL cot, the 1 person vista tent, the extended rain fly to cover both tent and cot and 1 of the XXL Fahrenheit -25 degree sleeping bags. I am looking to add more gear from them since the quality is so great.

@jyo8914 2 месяца назад

Thanks for this review! This is right up my alley in what I'm looking for. I can't believe how expensive some of the other 4-6 P tents are. Your prior video on REI is a good example. Just crazy! I agree that a coyote brown/tan color would be awesome for this tent.

@loulou6217 2 месяца назад

Great review! I have owned the teton ultra 4 for 3 years now and have never had one problem with leaks or stretching of the rain fly. The zippers are great and theres tons of ventilation. Ive used this tent over 50 times and its been flawless. I will continue to purchase from teton sports. I highly recommend giving them a try!

@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397 2 месяца назад

Teton Mountain Ultra 3-season series of tents are well-proven, well-thought-out, very high value to cost tents. In this series of tents, the simplicity, overall materials selections, plus attention to detail with good Q/C... is all there. Company also stands by their products with good customer service. Here at Alaska Raft Connection, I have the 3-person version of this tent. I have done a few customization modifications to it for outfitting in a gear rental application. I wager Luke will find this tent to be rainproof for his testing, reasonably/seasonably comfortable and 3-season stormworthy.

@efromhb 2 месяца назад

So happy to see you reviewing this tent. I have the three person version which gives me plenty of room for two and gear inside. I also have the gray/silver color and it seems gray to me. Not white. I do wish they offered a brown version but that's why I'm eyeing the OneTigris Cosmitto 2.0 after seeing your review on that one. This four person version seems much larger by far. Looking forward to the rain testing. I've been a fan of Teton gear since having their first hydration packs. They have always stood by their products and have fantastic customer service. I also own three of their sleeping bags which have been serving me well for many years.

It's funny you mention the crazy colors. I know you enjoy your stealth camping and all that, and so do I, but when it comes to these bigger tents, for whatever reason I like them in crazy colors, but my hammock, one person tents, sleeping rolls, etc, I much prefer to be natural/stealthy.

@kruzininla 2 месяца назад

The tent looks great. I will be honest in saying I don’t have one, but I do have tent stakes like the ones provided, those fold up like a sheet of paper in my area. If camping in soft ground, this looks to be great! If you live in hard or rocky ground, invest in proper tent stakes.

@mrben6573 2 месяца назад

Enjoyed the video. I have a few Teton products and they seem very decent. Question: Did you ever do Part 4 of the Coleman Sundome 2? Part 1 was an overview, Part 2 was a before you buy, Part 3 was the rain test, and it did well in the rain test, after which you said you'd try it out for a few months and then make a video with your Final Thoughts. I don't think the Final Thoughts video ever came out. Cheap-but-serviceable tents like the Sundome 2 are important gateway tents, they're also important for people that want to do a little fair weather camping a few times a year and don't want to spend $1K on gear. I think they have their place. I know people look down on Coleman tents, but those "walmart tier" tents have probably gotten more people outdoors than any others, and I was very impressed that the Sundome 2 survived your rain test better than a number of other more expensive tents you've tested.

@gerardohuerta6925 2 месяца назад

After a lot of research I bought the Ultra 3P tent 2 years ago. I absolutely love it. Handled some strong winds and rain without issue. Luke is correct for the price there is no other competition to the quality Teton has. I mainly use for car camping.

@nealhagood6792 2 месяца назад

Thanks for checking this one out for us! Nice looking' car camping tent! I know exactly what you mean about the top-side vents. I have them on my beloved 15 yr old REI half dome (2 person). If there is a hard driving sideways rain & they are open, I get wet; although, fine, if closed. I have learned to work with that & have gotten a little wet a few times reaching out from a doorway to quickly close them up. I think this Teton Ultra 4 could serve me well as a roomy 1 person car camping tent . I like the the 2 mini rainfly vestibules at both doors for gear, that shouldn't go in tent. All that mesh is great for our hot Texas nights, with the protection of a FULL rainfly - love it! I look forward to your reviews on this one!

@JoeMac1983 2 месяца назад

I love my 1 person, and I'll likely be getting a 2 person soon. However, they need a green or camo tent. They are really not catering to a large part of the market that would buy from them if they had colors that blended into the environment.

@Xeno-M. 2 месяца назад

Nice initial review on a rather large tent, Luke. I can’t comment on this co.’s products as I don’t own anything they make yet, but I have heard many good things with regard to both their tents and sleeping bags. I would say that this tent is a decent tent for over landing/glamping due to the size alone, (it seems 3 people and gear could Easily fit in this tent). However there are two main aspects to this tent that are drawbacks Imo, one you mentioned and one was not. The first negative you mentioned, namely the vent placement, is a letdown. too often I have seen the vents placed too high on tents such as these that leak when it rains.(The issue is wind blown rain that will easily get in due to the vent being so high on the tent that the wind will blow the vent open a bit even if you close them). A better vent system angles the vents lower on the side of the tent fly to allow the vent to open facing the ground so that you can keep it open when it rains and not have it leak, but we will have to see the rain test to confirm this. The second point of issue not mentioned is the tent floor. Although it is seam taped,(a good thing), it is made out of polyester which is not as strong as other materials that should have been used in a tent this size. With three people and gear in this tent the floor is undoubtedly going to see some serious abuse, let alone kids and pets,(or unwanted fury guests which you can’t account for). I would have went a different way on the floor material for this reason. As for the color selection I think they are appropriate. For this type of camper/glamper, it is about fun colors and visibility. Although my preference would be subdued colors, (just like your stated preference of a olive/dark green, coyote brown, or black). However these colors fit this type of camping. For preppers, stealth camping, or emergency purposes this tent would be too big, heavy, and visible size-wise alone to use, so subdued colors won’t make much difference to avoid being “seen” . But it would be nice for those who prefer those colors. All in all though, this seems like a decent glamping tent that will be comfortable airflow wise that offers a lot of room for a decent price. Hopefully it will pass the rain test, but for fair weather use it should be fine. See you in the next vid, Luke.

The lighter the color, the cooler the tent, all things, otherwise, being equal. For an all-mesh summer tent, a light-colored fly makes sense.

@DK-jd8bj 2 месяца назад

The fly and the tub are the main parts that differentiate a good tent from a bad one. The only way to tell is if it keeps you dry in a rain storm. Most don't. This one looks decent but needs a better larger outside to inner tent entry area. Tub waterproofing is unknown.

I would definitely say that is a very large four-person tent and Teton does work well with its tents I still have one from nearly 30 years ago The only problem is I need the poles replaced that thing went through hell and back and if I can just get the polls replaced it will go another 30 years
