Alps Mountaineering Meramac 4 Person Tent

The Alps Mountaineering Meramac 4 Person Tent is a freestanding backpacking and campground shelter built for reliability in variable conditions. With its two-pole shock-corded fiberglass frame and factory-sealed seams on both the fly and floor, the Meramac handles weather predictably—whether you're car camping at a developed site or pitching in the backcountry. At 64 square feet of interior space and 60 inches of center height, it sleeps four without feeling claustrophobic, and the dual-door design means no one's climbing over their neighbor at night.

Ventilation keeps condensation in check thanks to two zippered windows integrated into the doors and large mesh side panels. The weatherproof fly extends over each entryway as an awake, reducing pack-in from wind-driven rain. Two large #8 zippers—one per door—are built for the abuse of real use; single-zip operation lets you open or close each entrance independently. You get mesh storage pockets and a gear loft to keep essentials organized and off the floor, plus all the stakes and guy ropes you need to get it dialed.

Weighing just under 12 pounds and packing down to 7 by 24 inches, the Meramac strikes a practical balance between shelter and pack weight for groups or solo campers who don't mind carrying a bit more for livable space. The 1500mm-coated polyester floor and fly resist UV damage and hold up to repeated seasons of use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Alps Mountaineering Meramac a freestanding tent, or do I need to stake it down?

The Meramac is freestanding thanks to its two-pole shock-corded design. You can set it up and camp without stakes or anchor points, though guy ropes and stakes are included to tension the fly and improve weather resistance in wind.

How many people will the Meramac 4 Person Tent actually sleep?

The Meramac is rated for four sleepers and has 64 square feet of interior space with 60 inches of center height. Two doors allow flexible sleeping arrangements, and mesh storage pockets plus a gear loft keep gear off the floor so you're not sacrificing livable space for storage.

What's included with the tent?

The Meramac comes with 8-inch steel stakes and guy ropes for the fly. The poles are shock-corded together for quick assembly, and there's no additional hardware to buy—it's ready to pitch out of the box.

How does the dual-door design work, and can I open them independently?

Both doors feature large #8 zippers and single-zip operation, meaning each door can be opened or closed independently. This eliminates the need to crawl over a sleeping partner and gives you flexibility in how you ventilate or enter the tent.
