Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between three-season and four-season tents?

Three-season tents are designed for spring, summer, and fall use with good ventilation and moderate weather protection. Four-season tents handle winter conditions with stronger poles, less mesh ventilation, and steeper walls to shed snow and wind.

How do I determine what size tent I actually need?

Tent capacity ratings assume minimal gear and close sleeping arrangements. For comfort, consider going one person larger than your actual group size, especially for extended trips or if you're tall or prefer more space.

Are expensive tents really worth the cost?

Higher-priced tents typically offer better materials, construction quality, and longevity. If you camp frequently or in challenging conditions, investing in quality gear can provide better performance and value over time. Occasional users may find mid-range options sufficient.

How important is the tent's waterproof rating?

Waterproof ratings indicate hydrostatic head pressure resistance. Ratings of 3,000mm or higher generally provide good protection for most conditions. However, proper setup, seam sealing, and maintenance are equally important for staying dry.
