Mountainsmith Conifer

Yes, with a peak height of 74 inches, most adults can stand fully upright inside the tent. This makes changing clothes and moving around significantly more comfortable than in lower-profile backpacking tents.

The Conifer 5Plus is designed for three-season use and features kickstand vents and zip-down openings to promote airflow. While it offers good ventilation, it is a basecamp-style shelter, so it will perform best in mild to warm conditions rather than extreme heat.

The dual vestibules are quite spacious, providing enough covered area to store multiple packs, muddy boots, and other bulky items outside the sleeping area. They also create a sheltered porch space, which is helpful for relaxing during light rain.

The Conifer 5Plus is a freestanding tent, which generally makes setup straightforward. However, given its size and 15-pound weight, it is much easier to assemble with two people, especially when pitching the rainfly.

It includes interior mesh storage pockets and a gear loft to help organize smaller items like headlamps and phones. While these are helpful, five people will fill the 84-square-foot floor space quickly, so you may want to keep larger gear in the vestibules.
