MSR Remote 3 Tent vs Black Diamond Bombshelter Tent

The Black Diamond Bombshelter is the stronger expedition shelter: a single-wall ToddTex dome with four interior poles that pitches fast and shrugs off wind, and its 4.7 rating from 15 owners backs that up. The MSR Remote 3 is the better backpacking tent for three people, with a double-wall design, two doors and two vestibules that manage condensation far better than a single wall. Build quality is high on both; the Bombshelter is heavier and roomier, the Remote 3 is lighter and more livable for three.

• Choose the MSR Remote 3 if you want a double-wall, three-person four-season tent with two doors and vestibules for cold-weather backpacking and basecamps.
• Choose the Black Diamond Bombshelter if you need a fast-pitching single-wall dome for four on exposed alpine expeditions where wind and snow load matter most.
