Conclusion:
The Alps Mountaineering Lynx 1 is a very sturdy and basic tent which is a good all rounder. Don't expect anything flashy from this one but as I said earlier for the money you pay is an excellent tent. While researching this tent I found it to be one of the better lightweight tents that should seriously be considered. I liked it's simple and yet durable design, setting up the tent is easy and really important factor to consider in my opinion.
