Not sure what tent you are referencing but there is a 4 person dome tent that is good for winter listed here: https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/camping/best-winter-tents/

I found 4 person dome tent on this website;

But I m still confused which one is best for all season specially in winter. I saw your given link. Do you use any of these tents? If you do, then definitely tell me its specialties.

"the pod" (the one trail recon uses) and the gazelle are very popular with overlanders. Might want to check those out

My tents are all as light as I can make them, so unfortunately I don’t have any 4-season or domed tents. I used to work at REI though and I know a lot about tents. A larger (not necessarily domed) tent that I’d be confident in for true western winters is going to be ~$1000. If I had to buy a tent that can do everything and maximize interior space, I’d choose one of these:

Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter is my go-to tent. IMO, these 'A' frames are better than a dome configuration.

I've had my Timberline Outfitter tent since 1997, and still use it.

4 season is not a general description for tents even though that's how they describe them.

A 4 season tent won't be great in hot weather so unless you're planning on camping in true winter weather stick with 3 season. Those timberline tents have high level of ventilation which is why they have been liked by so many for so long, and why they still make them. Outfitters use them, boy scouts use them, etc.

They have an outfitter assault tent that has less ventilation but it's a 4 season/winter tent. It's too hot for summer!

Lots of different needs when it comes to tents, so it's really hard to give you a recommendation based on the info you have provided. If you are doing winter or cold weather camping, it should say 3 or 4 season tent in the description. If it doesn't, consider it unsuitable.

As far as what tent you need, that depends on your price range and use. I have a lot of tents. Some for backpacking and some for base camps. Huge difference in weight and construction, as well as size. What will be your actual use and how will the tent get there? Is the tent going to be used in a backcountry area or a groomed campground? 4 adults or 2 adults/2 kids or???

Just for a general recommendation, I like Big Agnus tents for general use and their large selection based on needs, as well as being moderately priced. Tents | Big Agnes
There are certainly better tents out there, but I'm thinking you probably don't need some of the high end stuff just yet.

Also depends on your version of winter camping. This was spring camping last May in 3 season tents, 6 miles from the Bronco.

Gazelle is awesome.

Foundation Series 4 or 6 Sided Portable Pop Up Hub Tent – Freespirit Recreation (gofsr.com)

I just saw this tent by FSR which is very similar to the Gazelle.

I am going to be picking up a gazelle T4 Plus Hub Tent whenever my Bronco actually ships. I am not buying any more Bronco or Bronco Adjacent items until then.

Unless there is a sale.

I had the 4 man camping tent for many years,one of my best shelters.Medium stove is not to big and wont weight a ton.Excellent choice.If you want a little bit more room you can look at the redcliff and its easier to pitched.
