The Absaroka 4P is a lightweight, spacious, 4 person tent designed for backcountry adventure. Built with dual doors, a removeable stove jack, and a tall pitch height to optimize wind sheer and snow shedding, the Absaroka is built for 4 season use and features sewn-in line-loc adjusters on all guy-out points for quick and easy pitching. Designed to be a spacious 4 person tent for riding out storms or 2 person mansion with a stove, the Absaroka strikes a balance between space, weight and size ideal for mountain hunting.
The Absaroka is built to be pitched with an optional single center pole (sold separately) or two trekking poles connected together, and is constructed with our nano-ripstop polyester fabric that won't sag when wet, maintaining the usable space inside the tent. The Absaroka is sewn with a silicone coated thread and double lap-felled seams, making it highly water resistant out of the box.
The Absaroka 4P also comes with our ARC Removable Stove Jack System, designed to be run in lightweight mode or stove mode when you want a hot tent. With our zippered stove jack design, the removable stove jack allows you to keep tent weight and bulk to a minimum during warmer months if you aren't using a stove, while allowing stove use during the colder months, all with a single tent.
The Absaroka 4P is ideal for four people and normal amounts of gear, or 2 people with a stove and lots of gear. The Absaroka can be used as a floorless shelter or with the Absaroka 4P Insert with a bathtub floor/mesh insert for full double wall coverage (sold separately). A carbon fiber center pole can also be used to pitch the tent (sold separately). And if you want to make a hot tent, pair with our Skyline Ti Titanium Wood Stove.
The Absaroka 4P needs to be seam sealed to be fully waterproof. We include seam sealer with every tent, and for more information on how to seam seal your tent, check out our seam sealing instruction page, or we can seam seal your tent for you for a small fee (select Add Seam Sealing).
Features
- Lightweight-1.875 lbs (30 oz) shelter weight
- ARC Removable Stove Jack System-Easily zip in or zip out your stove jack to run your tent in stove jack or lightweight mode to save weight and bulk.

- Interior Gear Hanging Loops-4 sewn in fabric loops near the top of the tent make hanging wet gear or a tent light easy. Can also run paracord through these loops to make a clothesline for drying out gear.

- Versatile Pitching-The modified rectangular shape and line-loc adjusters allow the tent to be pitched against the ground to keep out drafts, or elevated for better air flow.
- Storm Worthy Protection-Steep wall angles and reinforced guy-out points create superior high wind performance and allows for snow shedding.
- Easy Double Wall Connection-Color matching guy-out points and quick-connect, adjustable line-locs make attaching and connecting the Insert (sold separately) quick, easy and fool-proof.

Light weight well made I haven’t got to use it yet but Argali has never failed me yet. Going to be a great addition if it’s camping with family or hunting.
I’ve been using the Argali 4P Absaroka tent with the net, floor, and stove combo, and it has proven to be a top-tier shelter for outdoor adventures, especially in challenging backcountry conditions. Here’s why:
Lightweight
The Absaroka tent excels in keeping pack weight down without sacrificing functionality. The shelter itself is impressively light for a 4-person setup, making it ideal for extended treks where every ounce matters. Even with the choice of additional net or floor, and/or stove, the total weight remains very manageable. It’s a game-changer for those who prioritize mobility and efficiency on the trail.
Options and Versatility
One of the tent's standout features is its modular design. The ability to customize the setup with the net and floor combo provides flexibility for various environments. For summer hikes, the net and floor combo are perfect for keeping bugs out while providing ventilation. In colder or wetter conditions, adding the stove creates a warm and cozy retreat. This adaptability makes the Absaroka a true 4-season tent, capable of handling anything from mild summer nights to snowy winter camps.
Durability
Argali didn’t cut corners on materials. The Absaroka tent is built to endure harsh weather conditions. The lightweight yet robust fabric has held up exceptionally well against wind, rain, and even snow. The stove jack is thoughtfully designed, and the floor provides an excellent barrier against damp ground. Overall, the construction inspires confidence for repeated use in demanding environments.
Stove Performance
The stove addition is a standout feature for cold-weather camping. It’s straightforward to set up and adds incredible comfort during freezing nights. The ventilation system works well with the stove, decreasing condensation impact while keeping the interior warm and safe
Conclusion
The Argali 4P Absaroka tent is a fantastic investment for adventurers seeking a lightweight, adaptable, and durable shelter. Its modular design allows you to tailor the setup to your needs, making it suitable for a wide range of activities and seasons. The net, floor, and stove combo elevate it to a level that few other tents can match, especially for those who enjoy off-grid expeditions. Highly recommended for anyone looking to maximize their backcountry comfort and efficiency.
Hey Joe, thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. You really hit on the aspects we focussed on when creating the 4P tent. This combination with the half insert and stove is very popular among our consumer base and reviews like this help others see how it works. Thanks again for the great review and have a great 2025!
Love the tent so far. Have had it out in the wind and snow with no issues. Also very happy with the size for a 4P tipi
I haven't been able to really test the tent yet. However, my initial impression of the tent is that it is quality made, very light for the size and seems to me, to be durable for my usage. I will probably invest in a stove and a larger tent down the road for base camping during the hunting season and possible river trips that come up.
I like the idea that I can use hiking poles to support the tent. This is one of the main factors that helped me decide that this would be a solid investment.
I also own the 2p and it's a pain stacking firewood in there with only 1 door. The 4p solves that problem plus, you can actually walk in and out of the tent without crawling.
I have another brand 4p tipi and I have to almost get on my hands and knees to get in and out. With the Absaroka and zippers that run the full length, not an issue. Highly recommend this tent and the Argali brand.
