Im looking for a good winter hiking tent. There is no such thing as a light weight winter tent though like there is for summer time. Does anyone camp in cold climates and what do you recommend?
Answer
Best is an opinion. 4 Season tents verses 3 season verses just a tarp or a hammock debates occur annually. Aficionados like their system of camping gear (as another poster already shared) and adapt it to the seasons rather than spending the bucks to get gear actually made for cold heavy snow climates, why is that? cost for one and a semper fi attitude is another.
4 season co-notates handling heavy rains, snow loads and high winds. That requires stronger materials to build it and with that comes heavier weight and a higher price. So "best" for you will be something that fits your budget and meets your weight criteria. Top sellers are what gets a "best" rating quite often, also reviews from reputable sources like Backpacker magazine or REI an international retailer of outdoor gear.
So read the reviews is my best suggestion as people who have tried out the product know best. Next is rent the gear some places rent out the gear why spend several hundred for one trip in new gear? and you can try before you decide to buy. Do you really need a 4 season when a 3 or even a 2 will do? perhaps winter camping won't be your thing after spending a weekend out in it so having rented it you are not out all that cash.
Next is Semper Fi make do with what you got.. As another poster already shared you can often make a 2-3 season work well for your needs even the hammock camper or the tarp man figures out ways to stay warm dry and cozy in their gear year round. It's all about insulation, tent location, and diet.
My self I have several different ones but the REI Half dome 2 has been my go to backpacker tent for years. Southern Calif. does not have the winter blizzards back easts gets but a good winter storm is always a possibility. I have started a trip on 90* sunny weather day only to get snowed on in the same night and the tent has never failed me.

Answer
Yes it is a 4 season tent, your question should be is this a good 4 season tent....I wouldn't want to get caught in the rain inside that thing. Check out tent reviews and different tent prices at the 2 links provided. Dont forget you get what you pay for. What kind of warranty does that company have? at backcountry.com its no questions asked return for an exchange or your money back. I get all my gear there
