If unabashed luxurious is extra your dad’s thing, consider REI’s Wonderland 6. At $599, this isn't any casual funding, but it should final fairly a while. The ceiling is shorter, and the partitions more angled, but if you’re solely utilizing the tent to sleep in, that shouldn’t be a significant concern. Even with the elective footprint (which I extremely suggest for any tent), the pack weight weighs below three pounds, and the mtnGLO light system means no fussing with a lantern or headlamp to read and sort gear after dark. And, if you will get him the Extend Pack (which is unfortunately usually out of stock), it additionally comes with a backup battery in case he must recharge on the trail, together with a gentle-diffusing stuffsack that basically turns his headlamp right into a lantern he can grasp from the ceiling of his tent or lean-to.
