Rincon 2P Tent

I only gave 4 stars but maybe shoulda been 5. I may have set the tent wrong … IE to tight to the ground. I ran a candle lantern and still condensation was terrible on the inside of the tent. After some reading I should left a 4” gap at the bottom and I was at like 2”. Otherwise it’s great and the bag for the screen net insert is large enough for the insert and the tent so I was able to combined them and reduce a bag.

Took this on a 30 mile B.W.C.A kayaking trip. Started the week off in the 70s dry and got windy and wet by end of weekend. Kept me dry through heavy rains as well as high winds off of some camping points. Paired with the insert was awesome. Kept the tent high for air flow when it was warm and pulled it to the floor when things got sketchy. Didn't waver a bit. 10/10 would recommend.

Superior tent! I guide in AK, and this thing is perfect for those high-movement mountain hunts. Best as a 1-man with gear, but absolutely doable to ride out a storm with two guys or for a quick spike camp. No sagging of fabric, and I haven't had bad condensation with it. The vent is good, but it is fastened by Velcro and can get detached in high winds (A zipper would be nice to see instead). It withstood wind up to 40- 50 mph, but you have to know how to pitch it properly. I'm 6'5 and fit fine, but it can feel a little tight at times. Overall, this thing is awesome and has done great in varied conditions in Colorado, Alaska, and Arizona 🤙🏼

It’s packs so small and light. Not usually hunting late season alone but have to this year and wanted to get something to fit that bill. Great purchase. Better used as a big one person tent than a two IMO, even without a stove.

Just back from my first overnighter. Loved the space and weight savings in my pack. Paired it with one of the Argali trekking poles Setup was easy. Inside of tent was a little damp from condensation, but I didn’t realize there was a vent until I took it down in the morning. Can’t wait for the next trip!

Awesome tent with tons of room. I used it a couple times last season with my son and we had plenty of room. We had a couple nights of rain the the tent doesn’t sag like my other tipi.

I’ve been considering this setup for several years and finally had the means and desire to pull the trigger. It was very easy setup for the first time in the back yard, it is coming with me to New Mexico on a archery mule deer hunt this January!

I’ve put the Argali Rincon 2-person tent through some serious conditions, and it has never let me down. I ran this tent for nine days straight on an Idaho hunt in the Frank Church Wilderness—thunderstorms, hail, snow, rain… you name it, this tent saw it. It held strong the entire trip.

I’ve used it with the half floor (haven’t tried the half insert yet) and I also run Argali’s titanium stove. My buddies made fun of me for carrying a stove—until everything they owned was soaked and they were lining up at my tent to dry their gear out.

Setup is extremely easy. I always stake out the four corners first and the whole thing comes together fast. I also used the Rincon for a four-day archery hunt in northern Pennsylvania with the same solid experience.

Condensation is minimal for a floorless shelter. I get a little on the lower 10–12 inches of the tent, which the insert would eliminate—I just haven’t bothered to run it yet. The one night I had more condensation than usual was on me because I forgot to open the top vent.

As far as layout: when running the stove, I sleep on the left side. The stove sits on the right, and I stack firewood in the top-right area. The front right corner is perfect for storing gear. The floorless design takes a little getting used to, but now I actually prefer it. I carry a small ground cloth for my gear, and I really like being able to walk inside, zip the tent, and take my boots off without tracking mud into my sleeping area.

I own a lot of Argali gear, and this tent has become one of my best backcountry assets. Durable, lightweight, smart design, and built for real hunts not parking lot camping.

Highly recommend.

First 2 of 4 nights punt in my Rincon 2P, it poured! Never had any issues w the tent leaking. Lightweight and durable! Great job!

Purchased because I was tired of hauling my 20 year old MSR Hubba Hubba around for my solo adventures/hunts. Without the insert, the tent shed over 3 lbs from my pack weight and took my total sleep system (shelter, sleeping bag, and pad) to 6.25 lbs. I've spent about 7 nights in it now and I've been very pleased with the performance, overall.

I don't plan to use the half insert except during bug season, however, I wish the door was designed better. I don't like how when it is unzipped it is laying in the "threshold" of the tent. When unzipped, it should hang and not drag on the ground in my opinion.

The stove is great, but hasn't been cold enough to really need yet. It really takes up a lot of the usable space in the tent. And I'm going to have trouble figuring out how to maneuver around it while I'm in the tent with all my gear and trying not to melt my sleeping bag. I bet this stove really shines in the 4-man tent, but it's nice that it works with the 2-man tent, and i look forward to trying it out in real conditions this fall.

The tent fabric is great, and i'm very careful with where I set it up, because it seems very delicate. The stuff sack that It stows in seems to be made of the same material and already has 3 holes small holes/slices in it from getting stuffed in the backpack next to other things. I think the stuff sack could be slightly heavier without costing a lot of weight. Nobody wants to realize at 2am when it's raining that their tent has a hole in it. Unfortunately, I'm using a more durable stuff sack and retiring the argali one that it came with.

I love the orange/grey color scheme. of the tent.

The tent stakes are strong and sturdy. Overall, really nice tent. As long as it holds up, I'll probably also get the 4person version for next year.

The tent is great. Spent a week in Alaska where I experienced a wet heavy August snow. The tent worked great. My first night in the tent ended up with a lot of condensation but once I got better at pitching the tent it did better. Still had condensation but nothing that would make me not want to use the tent. The tent had room for me to yardage my gear and lay with room. Look forward to getting a stove to spend some colder nights on the mountain.

I bought by Rincon2P two years ago. Now I am not the usual customer of Argali, I am not a hunter, at least yet. I chose the Rincon 2P for a light an compact tent that can fit in my motorcycles side cases.

This summer I learned how strong the tent really is. I was camping at Airventure, a big event in Oshkosh, WI and early one morning at 02:30 I was woken to the tent collapsed on top of me, there were no storms that night to blow it over, what happened? Come to find out, a large 250 plus pound drunk man had fallen on to the tent snapping the Argali carbon fiber pole that was holding the center of the tent up. Fortunately nobody was injured from it just my confusion as to why the pole was several inches shorter then it was when I laid down to sleep.

Looking at the aftermath in the morning light the tent itself was fine, not a single tear anywhere except the one I made when my pocket knife handle caught on the open entrance setting the tent up.

As you can see the carbon fiber pole did not fair as well as the tent. I know Argali makes a tough tent for backcountry use, but I didn't realize they are made to withstand having a large man fall on to them!

Good lightweight tent. One backcountry bear hunt with it. I need to figure out how to set it up better with the insert. Easy set up anyway

I've used standard dome tents my whole life and decided to take a look at the benefit of a tipi, after all they've been in use for hundreds of years. After getting over the "floorless" idea I looked at the weight of my current 2P tent (5lbs) and the weight of the Rincon + Argali Stove (under 5 pounds) and decided to give it a try. Looking forward to running the Rincon 3rd Season Colorado this year.

I've used this tent on several outings and I get excited to use it every time. Its super easy to setup and pitch. I have the tent, full insert, and pole. They pack really compact in my backpack. I think it took me less than 10 mins to get it all setup and tot. It definitely fits 2 adults and backpacks. Its cozy and comfortable and it works for 2 people - it truly is 2 person tent. Great job Argali, you guys rock! My next buy will be the sleeping bag! Gotta match it all up!

This is my first higher quality purchase when it comes to backpack hunting gear. I am blown away at how light this tent is. Had it setup and ready to go in just a few minutes. I look forward to using it this fall. Thanks again....

This is the first tipi tent that I purchased and I am completely satisfied with the transition. I love how easy it is to set up and adjustable the height is to aid in airflow to mitigate condensation. I’ve spent 30ish nights through a variety of weather. Has performed exceptionally well in wind and rain. The footprint can be hard to deal with in certain areas, but that is to be expected with a tipi.

Only time I had to call it quits was last October when rain transitioned to freezing rain and finally to snow. The condensation on the interior and moisture on the exterior combined with hunting on the move didn’t allow the tent to dry. I was never worried while sleeping. Wind gusts hit 50 throughout the night. I stayed relatively dry and it stood strong.

I was so stoked, that I grabbed the Selway with a stove to use with the family on select backpacking trips. Based on the performance of the SilPoly, I can’t justify the Dyneema for the weight difference.

This is a fantastic tent. I have spent 6 months travelling around South America with it and it packs smaller and is lighter than every other tent I've seen people have here. In the tropical regions, the half insert was perfect for keeping gear dry during the rain storms and in Patagonia especially it is incredibly windy, cold and wet. I was pitched next to an MSR elixir 2 and that got absolutely shredded by the wind while my Rincon stayed sturdy and taught. Another thing to mention is that the sil-poly sheds the water brilliantly while others were constantly tensioning their tents and they had just soaked up the rain like a sponge.

When I return to New Zealand I have a Wapiti hunt planned in Fiordland as we got a ballot block. Fiordland has some of the wildest and wettest weather in the world and I'm looking forward to getting to stay warm and dry in a tent I can trust.

Unfortunately I don’t have any cool views in my photos of the tent but the point is it did its job every time.
