Is the Ampex 3 Person tent worth $199.99?

At $199.99 at Ampex Gear as of October 29, 2026, it is a fair price for a sub-4 lb three-person tent with a footprint and two doors. Its only recorded price is that figure, so there is no cheaper point in its recent history to wait for.

How does it compare with heavier three-person tents?

It saves weight through 15-denier and 20-denier fabrics, which are less abrasion-resistant than the 40- to 70-denier fabrics on heavier tents. Choose it for weight; choose a heavier tent for durability on rocky ground.

Does it hold up in wind and rain?

Ampex rates it to 40 mph, and the sealed seams and full-coverage fly keep rain out. The 1,200mm floor is the weak point in standing water, so use the included footprint.

Three people fit at 90 inches long and 44 inches high at the peak, but it is tight for three adults with gear. Two people get generous space and a vestibule each.

Tent body, footprint, main pole assembly, ridge pole, 14 stakes, 6 guylines and a compact stuff sack. Poles are aluminum.

The only recorded price is $199.99 at Ampex Gear as of October 29, 2026. There is no lower price on record, so watch for seasonal sales rather than a known drop.
