Bought this tent this spring in anticipation of tenting all summer on my Versys. Used this tent for 2 nights at RanchSTOC this spring. Short story-bought another tent so this one is For Sale. Bought from Amazon for $140 + tax (tent) and $35 + tax (Alps floor saver). This tent is amazing. Easy to put up and take down and pack up.

Alps Mountaineering info below:

The Aries is a great backpacking tent to take when you need a tent that is lightweight, reliable, and will hold up in the elements. Its unique pole system allows for ample internal room with nearly straight walls on each side. There is also sufficient headroom, thanks to the spreader bar above the doors. Whether you need the 2-person or 3-person design, each comes with 2 doors so you're not crawling over anyone to get out. With the mostly mesh walls, air will easily flow in and out of the tent when the fly isn't required. When conditions are more extreme, the full coverage fly and two vestibules will keep you and your gear protected and dry.
Features
• Free-standing pole system with 7000 series aluminum poles
• Top cross pole allows more head room and interior space
• Great ventilation with mostly mesh walls
• Easy assembly with pole clips that quickly snap over the tent poles
• 75D 185T polyester fly with 1500mm coating resists UV damage and stays taut
• 75D 185T poly taffeta floor with 3000mm coating
• Factory-sealed fly and floor seams provide best weather protection
• Extra large #8 zippers on doors and vestibules
• Full-coverage fly offers maximum protection
• Extra guy-outs on fly to stabilize tent in bad weather
• Two vestibules for gear storage and extra weather protection
• Weatherproof fly buckles on for maximum adjustability and protection
• Mesh roof increases ventilation and improves star-gazing
• Easy entry with two doors
• Mesh storage pocket, gear loft, 7075 aluminum stakes, and guy ropes included
• Aries 3 floor saver available

Looks like a nice tent. Why did you end up with a different tent? Which tent did you replace this one with?
Thanks,
Vaughn
 
Re: For Sale: Alps Mountaineering Aries 3 Tent

It is a great tent and I ended up replacing it with an Alps Mountaineering Extreme 3 Outfitter that I bought from RockmanTex on this site as I thought it would be a better 3 man tent. But I’m gettin to old to lay on the ground so that’s why I’m selling it. Also getting ready to put the Extreme 3 on the forum for sale too. If interested in this one or the Extreme 3, send me an email.
Thanks
Gary

Does anybody camp anymore? Got this new tent, used 2 nights, $125 OBO.
 
Re: For Sale: Alps Mountaineering Aries 3 Tent

OK, so I know it’s too dang hot to tent.

But wait, good tenting time is just right around the corner so don’t miss out on this brand new tent. OK, it was used for 2 nights but still new.
