Just bought the T2 Plus and my 11 year old daughter set it up in about 15 minutes. This is a very well-designed tent. Definitely got it during the REI sale. Reg. $299, got it for $180 with the REI discount + sale price. (Great tent at ANY price to be sure). Glad I bought the "plus" model. An extra 5.5 sf makes a big difference with no extra weight. Looking forward to taking it on a shakedown weekend trip near Austin in November.
If you don't need it right away... be patient. I landed a Quaterdome T3 for $171. Make sure you use those REI member coupons on high dollar items like tents, packs and sleeping bags. I haven't used it yet but reviews on the quarterdome series are overwhelmingly positive. Big Agnes are on sale now. My other 3 man tent (Big Agnes Parkview 3) I scored for $127 and is, in my opinion, a 4 season tent. Be patient.. . the deals are out there you just have to find them.
I never understood why companies have Closeout and Discounted products that sell. I realize the new produces need to come in. Some things are renamed or constructed differently that may not be as good. I have a friend that would like me to buy his. Now that I seen the review I may. Love the views of nature. Thanks
This just went on sale at REI for $220 and footprint for $22. I just barely bought one two weeks ago sans discount....grrrr....oh well, I will be taking the other back! Get 'em while ya can! Best tent for tall guys like me (6'5", 280 lbs).
The regular (non-plus) version of this tent seems to be on close-out. Down to $199 and I got a one-item 25% coupon code in an email today, I think it was actually 30% since this item is on closeout - $140 later I have one on the way. (stoked!) I'm a short mofo (5' 7") so the regular should be fine.
Great video! The standard Quarter Dome T2 is on clearance now at REI for $200 which is an incredible deal for those interested. Slightly smaller than the model reviewed here but definitely worth it at that price. Just picked one up myself and was curious as to what you thought.
Great vid nutnfancy, your videos are part of the reason I started making my own.
I had two questions about the REI Quarter Dome. Would you say the T2 would fit one person, (5'8", 180lbs), and a medium sized dog or would the T2+ be better?
My second question is would this tent be suitable for light to mild winters?
@CarolinaTrecker normal T2 should be fine for your size, but you better get one before the sale ends on REI.com on july 4. They are only $200 right now.

Haha oh man, forgot you reviewed this tent too. For a 3 season tent, which do you like better? Kelty Gunnison 2.1 or the REI Quarter Dome T2? I guess in 2010 they made the tent a little more complicated? Not sure if that would be a problem for me..kinda depends on the situation, wouldn't it?
Hey nutn, I was thinking about getting this tent for a while and love the reviews you do. I appreciate how in depth you go and really show all the aspects of the tent. Thank you. And now that REI members currently have a 20% off any 1 full price item coupon to burn, pretty sure I will be using it for this tent!
@eddieyou1018 halfdome is bigger but weighs more and is cheaper if your not worrid about weight go with the half dome but if it is a concern go with the quarter dome but like nutnfancy always says mobility vs fire power
Looks like a great tent; I love the construction and breathability. I was sold until I saw the price lol I think I'll stick with my Alps Zephyr 2 for the time being. I like the Kelty Gunnison, but not crazy about a white tent. Thanks for the review, keep up the good work.
Nutnfancy, I remember in another camping video you mentioned that you take a 10mm Glock with you just in case you run in a bad situation with a bear. Could you please tell me what type of ammo you use in 10mm for this purpose? Also it would be great if you did a video on ammo if that moves you.....Thanks for all of the video you have give me hours of viewing fun.....
I've had a MSR-tent (Hubba Hubba) for years now, and it has _all_ the 'special' features that this REI one has. And I agree that they are awesome features, making for fast pitching, light weight and dry stable shelter even in storm conditions. I mention this because MSR is easier to find in Europe, REI doesn't ship many items to Europe either (license issues). I do love the color though!
Nutn, you're like the Danny Tanner of the camp site, keeping everything clean. Haha, just kidding. Great review, I'm thinking about purchasing this for my birthday camping trip.
I have the regular REI Quarter Dome T2 that I purchased at an REI used gear sale. I have taken it on about 5 backpacking trips, 3 times with friends and 2 on solo treks. This tent has performed really well and I found this review to be very accurate. My Quarter Dome is a bit smaller but I found it to be the perfect option for solo or 2-person light trips. Its 3lbs 12oz, making it light enough for solo if you want extra space or a very light 2 person if you dont mind being cozy.
Sorry to be a pest but, in the Info there is a typo. it says "with the hike is steep and long" and i believe it is supposed to be When the hike is steep and long. thanks lol
Totally awesome... absolutely love the father-son interaction as well as the views. Sometimes I could really care less about the review itself when you're doing one in such a beautiful place such as that.
Thanks again for bringing us along and inspiring us to do with our families. You rock bro!
I really enjoy your reviews but I also enjoy watching you and your family enjoy the outdoors. Last Suspect's expression of excitement about seeing the goat was priceless.
Thanks for the tent review. I've wondered about REI brand tents when it comes to quality.
Mountain goats! WOW! I wish there was somewhere that remote in England :( Also, ive found that you can use any tent in any climate or area comfortably, until you get to crazy snowy mountains etc, you just need to alter your actual sleep system, i.e. temp. factor of sleeping bag, clothes you actually sleep in etc and you will be okay. I personally use a medium season tent, in mild weather i sleep in long johns and thermal top, if it gets warmer lose the long johns, and if colder, add stuff, easy!
Love your vids man, makes me jones for the outdoors all week in the office, lol. Just wondering what your take on hammocks are? I've read some stuff on make the Hennessy tents 3.5-4 weather capable and with 300 lb capacity I could store myself and my ruck (or something softer, warmer and much more entertaining) in one. Would like to hear your thoughts or even, dare I ask, a review?!!
Nut'n tearing up the summer with tons of great vids!
Great review!
I tend to be weight conscious as well on extended trips, though I must say I like a bigger tent. I just like having that extra space, there are cons such as weight and warmth. But It's a trade off I'm willing to make.
I'll be adding a brush to my list of items on my next trip.
Thanks for the great review. The scenery and wildlife is always a welcome sight. Could you one time show how big the tent is when packed up in your bag, before construction? Thanks again for the hard work!
Not to be mundane Nutn, but another great vid. This is the type of review I am looking for in your gear reviews. I am a day hiker, but when my kids are a little older I want to expand my adventures to a few days and need reviews on what one would need on lets say a weekend hike adventure. I am gathering great informative opinions from your reviews and from Nutnfancy viewers. Keep Rockin Nutn and I'll keep a watchin.
Nutn, I have the older gen quarter dome tent & have loved it!. They have made many improvements thus the current T2+ tent that you're reviewing here. Larger size, clips instead of sleeves for the poles & overall better layout.
REI makes a great tent at a super competitive price point & if there is a guy out there tent shopping I would check out the REI line first.
I like the fact that you are showing the sunscreen on your face. I was just up on Mt. Rainier, WA the other day at about 10,188 feet. Wasn't well covered and I got scorched. My face is now 3 shades darker than the rest of me.
@nutnfancy you sir, are a god send. thank you so very much for everything you do. keep up the outstanding and extremely entertaining vids, they are so very much appreciated by all of us who watch.
Great review.Awesome location. I've had the normal Quarter dome for 3years now and love it. I would prefer the green instead of orange and white though. Great to see that your making it possible for your son to get out there.
Lol, great goat action there. There are some very special memories for sure. Thanks for the tent review. I had been thinking of a few similar tents, including this one, if I ever get out of my slump and get back to backpacking. My old tent has long turned to dust. Besides, it was an old design, so kind of heavy, and kind of.....non vented, lol.
Just recently started watching some of your vids from work here in the middle east. I've been prepping for some hunting and camping and now I'm checking into tents so I'm watching your reviews. Then, out of no where, I'm thinking of upgrading my G30 and of course, you have a video for that. Then you have ratings on ontario products..big fan of the machetes they make for treks through the bear country of the North Carolina East Coast.
thanks for this review. i need a 3 season tent and have thought about this one. I have an REI 4 season that i really like, buts its heavy... 10 lbs and its to dang hot in warm weather..
Nutnfancy you rock! Your reviews are top notch and love the fact that you "get out there" to do them. Thank you for your service! And your reviews of cool stuff..
Nutnfancy does it again, I think I speak for most viewers and say thanks for all the great vids. Honest reviews and just darn enjoyable footage of the backcountry. I can prove to my wife that I am not the only gear super freak out there, lol. Could you do a review of sleeping bags, the other big chunk of the big three ? You have something really big going on here, keep up the great work !
Thanks so much for reading my comment and reviewing this tent! It's so cool to get an experienced opinion from a great outdoors man like you, Nutnfancy. You have made my decision about buying the REI Quarterdome. Thanks Again, Your Fan - Bayhike
I spent two nights in this exact model of tent one week ago. And although I know little about tents, I was thoroughly impressed. The extra length was a big plus for backpacks and what not. And the ability to both vent the outer shell and take it completely off was a huge plus for a particularly hot night.
My buddy researched the hell out of it before purchasing and I have to say he did a really good job. And now that Nutnfancy also approves, I'll have to get one for myself as well. Thanks.
I am new to youtube and your vids which are great man! I gotta ask how you get all your gear dude! I have some of the same gear I have used for many years and it still going. Gear is expensive? I have heard in some of your other vids you get loaners? Anyway keep the vids coming and Ill keep watching them. Thanks
Thanks SO much for this review - I have been considering this tent for a while now and I think I'm sold. Man - last suspect is a lucky kid to have a father like you!
Its a pleasure watching the environment and landscape around .. do half review and half landscape vids )
Do you think that Ventilations at the very top of the tent may solve the problem of exhaled moisture ???
An experienced guy told me that real Ripstop has "Little" squares in the fabric design, if you find ripstop having somewhat big (1/2 an inch ?) squares in its fabric design then it is Not Real Ripstop.
Hmm I may preffer bright and noticeable Colors in my tent ..just in case
Hey Nutnfancy I know you don't reveal too much when it comes to your personal information and I completely respect that. I do know that you have a lot of military experience and I was curious as to what branch of service if that's not too much to ask? I'm just guessing that with all of your survival training and experience you are in the Air Force?
I like it. We run the older quarter / half dome 4 with the orange pole / clip design...it was cool I got to see you do a quarter dome review. :-) The four has got some room to manuver in and is good for extended stay or scavenger missions. The sealing and stitching is first rate in the REI stuff, and probably was a deciding factor for us. I got the footprint and extra fly for it, so I expect to see years of good camping from it. Thanks guys for reviewing my favorite. :-)
Really enjoy the opening and the philosophy behind the tent. Not only is it just some shelter for overnight stay, but the ability it gives one to get out and experience an absolutely beautiful backcountry experience.
Your point about the tent color had me laughing. I was parking my car at Walmart today and next to me was this huge yellow Hummer. Talk about out of place, it had can't sell it cause I owe more that what it's worth all over it. That dude was not hustling because he was in a hurry but because he was the biggest loser and everyone knew it.
Good review nutn, I have an old REI half dome that I'm taking on a 56 mile, 12 day backpacking trip in New Mexico on Wednesday. REI definitely have some good tents as well as other supplies at their stores. I don't know if you've ever had to return anything to them also but if you ever have to do, it'll probably be the smoothest return you'll ever make. Great policies and great supplies, and of course great reviews by you always! Take it easy nutn.
Thanks for the review, nutn! Excellent (and fun) as always. I almost bought this tent last week, but was just a little short on funds. I was actually on the fence with this one vs. the T3, but that extra packed size and weight of the T3... Still near the top of my shopping list, and now doubly so after seeing this vid. Thanks again!
rad tent! love the colors...Im also very sketched out by leaving base camp with all my gear in the tent. I would buy it today if it were under 200 bucks!!! thanks for the vid!!!
Excelent, excelent video... You Sir live the ultimate life, great review...has helped me out alot in my decisions for a tent, plus the added scenery and wildlife!! I envy you and your family for getting out and having all these great adventures. Keep on living the good life myh good man.
@Hissatsu5 Raft camping! Good idea, right? I'm so smart. Wonder why more people don't do that... *tries and drowns in sleep* LOL Yeah man, hope to see some camping vids from you when the place clears up.
Great vid Nutn! My three year old and I love to watch your adventures! He loves to go out in the woods with me and I can't wait until he's big enough to do some hiking!
hey friend i want only to tell you you roooock and every of your vids is soo great and well made.Thank you for sharing us your adventures and reviews.Everytime i watch them with pleasure.Really thank you.All the best and take care.
nice vid bud ,that tent looks cool although a bit pricey but hey you only get what you pay for ,awesome scenery nothing like that here in the uk keep up the good work and stay safe .
I think the REI half dome 2+ was voted best tent by outside mag. REI is doing it right. Was that an internal framepack that you were sporting? Another great vid. Thanks.
Hey Nutn!!! Nice Goats?! Love your reviews... New to the TNP trying to catch up on your vids!!! But love em and thanks for keepin the BULL outta your reviews!!!
I just bought this tent last month. I havent had a chance to test it hard yet, but so far im very happy with it. I would recommend making your own footprint as the one made for it doesnt include an area for the vesti's. Also, have to thank you for your previous tent reviews/basics. I was pretty naive about tents, so i watched and took notes on that series and figured out what i needed for my purposes and it made me laugh inside when the REI guy said "you know alot about tents" thanks nutn!
Very good review. Great to see a father that loves God,family, and country! "Dont Tread on Me"

Hi Nutnfancy!
Thanks for another great video. They are very informative and inspiring. Great to see that father/son bond.
I have a couple questions about this tent.
Is it drafty?
How do you think it holds up if you are above the treelevel? In windy condition.
Did you find out who makes them for REI?
Have you experienced any downsides as time has past?
thanks

Nutn, I have the older gen quarter dome tent & have loved it!. They have made many improvements thus the current T2+ tent that you're reviewing here. Larger size, clips instead of sleeves for the poles & overall better layout.
REI makes a great tent at a super competitive price point & if there is a guy out there tent shopping I would check out the REI line first.
Thanks Brodog!

I like the fact that you are showing the sunscreen on your face. I was just up on Mt. Rainier, WA the other day at about 10,188 feet. Wasn't well covered and I got scorched. My face is now 3 shades darker than the rest of me.

Lol, great goat action there. There are some very special memories for sure. Thanks for the tent review. I had been thinking of a few similar tents, including this one, if I ever get out of my slump and get back to backpacking. My old tent has long turned to dust. Besides, it was an old design, so kind of heavy, and kind of.....non vented, lol.

Just recently started watching some of your vids from work here in the middle east. I've been prepping for some hunting and camping and now I'm checking into tents so I'm watching your reviews. Then, out of no where, I'm thinking of upgrading my G30 and of course, you have a video for that. Then you have ratings on ontario products..big fan of the machetes they make for treks through the bear country of the North Carolina East Coast.
Over all, awesome vid, and collection

You have something really big going on here, keep up the great work !

I spent two nights in this exact model of tent one week ago. And although I know little about tents, I was thoroughly impressed. The extra length was a big plus for backpacks and what not. And the ability to both vent the outer shell and take it completely off was a huge plus for a particularly hot night.
My buddy researched the hell out of it before purchasing and I have to say he did a really good job. And now that Nutnfancy also approves, I'll have to get one for myself as well. Thanks.

Its a pleasure watching the environment and landscape around .. do half review and half landscape vids )
Do you think that Ventilations at the very top of the tent may solve the problem of exhaled moisture ???
An experienced guy told me that real Ripstop has "Little" squares in the fabric design, if you find ripstop having somewhat big (1/2 an inch ?) squares in its fabric design then it is Not Real Ripstop.
Hmm I may preffer bright and noticeable Colors in my tent ..just in case

Hey Nutnfancy I know you don't reveal too much when it comes to your personal information and I completely respect that. I do know that you have a lot of military experience and I was curious as to what branch of service if that's not too much to ask? I'm just guessing that with all of your survival training and experience you are in the Air Force?

I like it. We run the older quarter / half dome 4 with the orange pole / clip design...it was cool I got to see you do a quarter dome review. :-) The four has got some room to manuver in and is good for extended stay or scavenger missions. The sealing and stitching is first rate in the REI stuff, and probably was a deciding factor for us. I got the footprint and extra fly for it, so I expect to see years of good camping from it. Thanks guys for reviewing my favorite. :-)

Really enjoy the opening and the philosophy behind the tent. Not only is it just some shelter for overnight stay, but the ability it gives one to get out and experience an absolutely beautiful backcountry experience.

Your point about the tent color had me laughing. I was parking my car at Walmart today and next to me was this huge yellow Hummer. Talk about out of place, it had can't sell it cause I owe more that what it's worth all over it. That dude was not hustling because he was in a hurry but because he was the biggest loser and everyone knew it.
Freedom100fan 1 year ago
Good review nutn, I have an old REI half dome that I'm taking on a 56 mile, 12 day backpacking trip in New Mexico on Wednesday. REI definitely have some good tents as well as other supplies at their stores. I don't know if you've ever had to return anything to them also but if you ever have to do, it'll probably be the smoothest return you'll ever make. Great policies and great supplies, and of course great reviews by you always! Take it easy nutn.

Thanks for the review, nutn! Excellent (and fun) as always. I almost bought this tent last week, but was just a little short on funds. I was actually on the fence with this one vs. the T3, but that extra packed size and weight of the T3... Still near the top of my shopping list, and now doubly so after seeing this vid. Thanks again!

I just bought this tent last month. I havent had a chance to test it hard yet, but so far im very happy with it. I would recommend making your own footprint as the one made for it doesnt include an area for the vesti's. Also, have to thank you for your previous tent reviews/basics. I was pretty naive about tents, so i watched and took notes on that series and figured out what i needed for my purposes and it made me laugh inside when the REI guy said "you know alot about tents" thanks nutn!
