Who knew a three man tent could offer so much room to each of sleepers and still be lightweight. That is exactly what the Black Diamond Oasis 3 Tent does. Its unique floor plan and advanced rain fly offer plenty of room for three backpackers and all of their gear. To sum it up, the Black Diamond Oasis 3 Tent offers plenty of floor space, living space, gear space, and saves space in your pack!

The inside of the Black Diamond Oasis 3 Tent offers the most room I have ever seen in a person tent of this nature. This partly thanks to the steep walls made by the tents pole system. The end result is a spacious feeling interior. Once you add on the tents vestibule you have even more room then before. The vestibule gives you an additional 14 square feet of room for all your gear.

The Black Diamond Oasis 3 Tent also offers doors in the corners of the tent. This completely eliminates the need for the guy stuck in the middle to have to really crawl over anyone to get out in the middle of the night. The inside of the Black Diamond Oasis 3 Tent also offers plenty of organization tools to keep the inside clean and organized.

Why they rock:

  • Two D-shaped doors facilitate multi-user convenience and allow roll-up storage out of the way when unzipped
  • Pole bundle features a hub-wrapped, variable-diameter pole system integrating the entire frame into one easy-setup system
  • Hubbed system eliminates the need to sort out poles for setup; hook-and-tension external pole clips easily attach canopy to poles
  • Variable pole diameter creates a strong tent with high interior volume; DAC Featherlite® NSL poles use an eco-friendly anodizing process
  • Polyester rainfly sheds water with a silicon and polyurethane coating, stays taut in rainy and humid conditions and resists UV degradation
  • Seam-taped, waterproof bathtub-style floor keeps floor-edge seams off the ground
  • Combination mesh and ripstop nylon canopy provides ventilation while blocking wind-born dirt and snow
  • Adjustable rainfly vent at the top of the tent and fixed foot vent down low creates a chimney effect to prevent interior condensation
  • Rip-and-stick attachments on rainfly underside allow it to be fastened to pole framework for extra strength and stability
  • Interior mesh pockets hold odds and ends; hanger loops allow attachment of an attic, not included
  • Ultralight stake loops and reflective guyout points help you increase the structural integrity of the tent in adverse weather
