The streamlined tunnel design of the Zempire Atmos Hiking Tent makes you feel invincible camped in all but the worst of conditions.
When the Atmos’ fly is not protecting the full mesh inner from the elements, it can be pitched alone in an ultralight fashion with the included straps. Tons of internal space, and a large vestibule for cooking and storage, the Atmos is ready for any hiking and backpacking adventure.
But beware, the Zempire Atmos has been known to inflate one’s sense of technical outdoor ability, proceed with cautious enthusiasm.

Best sleeping mat for zempire atmos1 answer
Hi, I ended up getting a zempire atmos as my first hiking tent. Was wondering which sleeping mat do you recommend that would go well with this tent. Something that is light weight yet doesn't break the budget. Thanks in advance!
Most budget-conscious hikers will look at the self inflating options, there are a few great options under $100, including the Black Wolf Hiker Hybrid, Sea to Summit Ultralight SI, Sea to Summit Camp Mat SI and Zempire Chunky Stealth V2.

Zempire Atom, mono or atoms1 answer
Want to buy my first hiking tent. I've narrowed my options to these 3 tents. I am after a 1 or 2p tent that will withhold well in the rain and strong winds. Have enough space to put my swag inside. I'm short, so height will not be much of a problem. Which one would you reccomend?
Naz - ST LEONARDS(4 years ago)
G'day Naz,
All of these Zampire Hiking Tents are great options in wet and windy weather, they all have excellent waterhead ratings, so will do the trick there. In terms of space, the Atmos has the most space, and is a 2 person tent, while the Atom and Mono are single-person tents, with the Atom having a little more external vestibule storage space due to the pole design. In terms of fitting a swag - it will depend on the style and size of the swag, but in general, you won't be able to fit a swag inside a hiking tent.

Length for a tall person1 answer
Hey there I'm 203cm and was wondering how tight this would feel for someone my size.
Sam - 5000(4 years ago)
G'day Sam,
Ben outlines a few features of the Atmos and does specify that taller people, unfortunately, won't fit. The maximum usable space once you account for the tapered foot end is approximately 200cm. Something like the Ridgeline 2P or Howqua 2 might suit you better.

Zempire Atmos vs Coleman Ridgeline1 answer
Hi there! I'm looking to get my first hiking tent to start tackling some multi day trails in Victoria (and NSW and Tas once borders open up). I'll be on my own but would like my pack inside, so looking for a 2P tent. I like the tunnel design (lots of windy trails in mind). The differences I can see between the Coleman Ridgeline and this is about 1kg of weight and differences in waterhead rating and floor material. Just wondering if the extra weight is worth it for a hiking tent for multi day trips, or if there are any other differences I've missed. Any advice is greatly appreciated, lov your honest answers!
Madison - Melbourne(5 years ago)
G'day Madison,
Both of these tents are going to be a great option for windy hiking. The Atmos has a slightly higher waterhead rating then the Ridgeline, and a slightly better front awning area and a higher head height. Both of these tents have similar feedback so we'd happily recommend either tent.

Warmth1 answer
Hi there, I recently purchased a Marmot Trestles Eco Elite 20 (rated to -5*C) and I was wondering whether, with the mesh inner, this tent and sleeping bag combination would be warm enough for the blue mountains in winter? I’m a standard to warm sleeper. If not, what hiking tent would you reccommend? Thank you. 🙂
Xavier - 2518(6 years ago)
G'day Xavier,
The Atmos Hiking tent has a fair bit of internal mesh so you may well find yourself a little chilly overwinter in the Blue Mountains. Maybe the Vango Nevis 200 2P or EPE Spartan 2 that have more solid internal material.

Capacity1 answer
The specs say this is a 2 person, but the dimensions image shows 1. Which is the most correct?
Andrew - Engadine (6 years ago)
G'day Andrew,
I've just checked with Zempire and officially the Atmos is listed as a 2 person tent. The shape tapers toward the foot end so you want to know the person you're sharing the tent with well!

Durability of Zempire tents, and splashback1 answer
Hi everyone,
3 Q's:
How are people finding the durability of these tents - is the price too good to be true? (And what's their warranty service like?)
Relatedly, with all the all-mesh inner, anyone finding that rain splashes up from under the fly and soaks the mesh?
Finally, looking to get back into bushwalking with my two (still small, 5&7yo) kids - 2 or 3p tent?
Wait, I think that was 4 Qs. Sorry!
Tom - Melbourne(6 years ago)
G'day Tom,
Awesome to hear that you're getting back into bushwalking with your kids! Those adventures make for the best childhood memories. The Zempire range of hiking tents is a terrific choice and honestly, we're hearing only good things about them from our customers. The Snowys team are big fans too and as far as any warranty concerns, we deal with anything that arrises on your behalf. Zempire is a New Zealand company who offer a 3-year warranty and if you need to make a claim, all you need to do is email us with the details and we take it from there :). Rain splash hasn't been an issue either and we've even had one customer report using his tent in high winds and thunderstorms and still gave it the thumbs up! The mesh can make it breezy but nothing a snug sleeping bag would counter. As far as using a 2 or 3p for your kids, that's a tough one to answer. I think the decision would come down to the weight of your gear for hiking and the growth of your kids? I reckon I'd consider a 3p if your pack weight allowed for it as the kids are less likely to outgrow it as quickly. It's also worth noting that the Atmos is a single entry tent from the front end. Some people prefer the Atom for its side entry or the Zeus with double entry points. Hope that covers your questions but always feel free to ask as many as you need. Cheers :)

Will this fit in a Deuter ACT lite 50+10 bag?2 answers
would i need to open the internal zip or would it fit in the larger upper compartment?
Paul - Brisbane(7 years ago)
G'day Paul,
I've just double checked this for you and the Zempire Atmos Hiking Tent should fir inside your Deuter ACT Lite 50 10 Bag without too many concerns. As I was giving it a try, a colleague of mine suggested removing the poles and placing them down the side of the bag so that you could scrunch your tent to fit as you needed to, which would allow more room for your sleeping mat, sleeping bag etc.
Ben - Snowys(7 years ago)
G'day Paul,
We didn't need to open any of the internal zips, no.

Would this be good for a tall-ish person?2 answers
I'm 191cm tall and I wanted to get the Zempire Mono but I think it will slope too much and touch my head.
I will be sleeping on a S2S comfort light insulated large and an Aeros pillow
Paul - Brisbane(7 years ago)
G'day Paul,
I've just had a look at a Zempire Atmos Hiking Tent on our shop floor for you and reckon that you'd have no real issues sitting up inside it even though you are quite tall.
Ben - Snowys(7 years ago)
G'day Paul,
You'd be using just about every available centimetre to just fit yourself in but you would fit.

First hiking tent - Atmos, Zeus or Companion Hiking Pro 21 answer
Hi guys,
Really impressed with your site, reviews and option to ask questions. I am looking for my first hiking tent to take with mates on overnight/multi-day hikes. First up we are doing the Wild Dogs in Blue Mountains in a month or so, so looking for something durable that can brave winds and help keep me reasonably warm. Torn between this, the Zempire Zeus and the Companion Pro Hiker 2 Tent. I am 190cm tall and looking to pick one of the Sea to Summit insulated mats to use in the tent as well. Any advice, things to consider would be much appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Simon - Penrith(7 years ago)
G'day Simon,
If you're looking for a 2 person hiking tent, it's hard to go past the Zempire Zeus. With entry doors and vestibules on both sides, combined with the quality and robust design which Zempire is known for, this is one of our most popular hiking tents. You certainly get great value for what you pay for.
Basically, hiking tents all come down to levels of convenience. We recommend you consider aspects such as ease of set up, ability to access inside the tent, weight and pack-size of the tent and whether the tent will stand up to weather. From what we have heard and some of our own staff have experienced, the Zempire Zeus does all of this really well.

Is this a 3 or 4 season tent? How is condensation in the atmos?1 answer
Additionally, how does this tent compare to the Blackwolf Mantis 2? It seems to have very similar features yet the mantis appears to have better ventilation. This is due to 2 vents (at the head and foot) that can be propped open as opposed to the atmos' single vent which cannot be propped open. Would the mantis thus handle condensation better than the atmos?
Though if the atmos is a 4 season tent would it then beat the mantis overall as it could handle snowy conditions, even if a little wetter?
Zac - Dannish(9 years ago)
Hi Zac, the Atmos and the Mantis are as you say very similar tents in terms of performance, the Atmos offer a little more head room and only has a end single entrance rather then the two size entrances and vestibules offered by the Mantis. It's important to note that neither of these tents are ideal for more than a dusting of snow and only really carry a 3 season rating. The two hoop pole design does not have the stability to withhold a build op of snow on the flysheet, you would need to consider an alpine tent for this purpose. Ventilation will be very comparable, the Mantis has vents at each end whereas the Atmos has two vents at the foot end, all of these vents stand open when pitched. It could be said that end to end ventilation is better but considering the Atmos has a full mesh inner, it will breathe exceptionally well but not be as warm as the nylon inner of the mantis. I hope this helps, give us a call if you need anything clarified - 1300 914 007.

What is the difference between polyester and nylon in a tent1 answer
And what is different between this and the macpac minaret
Jeff - NORTH SYDNEY, NSW(9 years ago)
Hi Jeff, both fabrics tend to be used interchangeably on tents, and both have their benefits. Polyester has a higher UV resistance than nylon and does not sag or stretch when it gets wet. Nylon on the other hand has a very high tear strength but will sag when it gets wet through rain or condensation. In saying this, the fabrics used in middle to high end tents nowadays are generally of high performance and you don't need to put too much emphasis on which is the predominant fabric. We don't sell Macpac products so I can't comment first hand, but from a quick look, apart from obvious differences in the geometry of the tent, the Macpac looks to be made of lighter fabrics, had a mesh/nylon inner rather than the full mesh of the Atmos, and looks to be smaller overall. It also seems that the fly fabric needs to be seam sealed by the consumer with the supplied glue, whereas the Atmos comes with full factory seam sealing. Both are good tents, I hope this helps.
