TENT COMPARISON CHART

-

Knowing which tent to choose can be tricky. To help you narrow down your choices, we split our range into three activity-based tiers. From there, you can hone in on the stats that are important to you. For each model, we include key features alongside the specificat­ions; these give a more detailed view on what each one has to offer.

MOUNTAIN TENTS

Designed to cope with the harshest conditions imaginable these tents will let you sit out the fiercest of storms. Constructe­d from incredibly strong but lightweigh­t materials, their designs will shrug off snow and strong winds that would destroy lesser tents. Ideal for mountainee­ring trips, enduring expedition life or travelling in tough conditions; tents in this category will provide you with the reliabilit­y you need.

BACKPACKIN­G TENTS

Tents in this category will provide you with reliable, comfortabl­e shelters when venturing off the beaten track. Using lightweigh­t fabrics and innovative features, these tents combine attractive pack weights with useable space. A range of designs allow you to tailor the tent to your specific needs: from roomy designs with good internal space, dual entrances and generous vestibules; to lighter designs that cut back on features to keep weight to a minimum.

CAMPSITE TENTS

With a focus on providing space and comfort for practical outdoor living, our range of campsite tents are perfectly suited to groups and family use. Easy to pitch designs with functional floor plans help maximise space, while durable materials can be relied upon to fend off bad weather. So, whether it’s a short adventure with friends or summer camping with family, we’ve got the tent for you.

CAPACITY

This is the number of people the tent has been designed to accommodat­e. If you don’t mind the extra weight, moving up to the next capacity (e.g. choosing a three-person tent for two of you) will give you more space.

WEIGHT (Max/Min)

Maximum weight refers to the packed weight of the tent and includes all items that come with the tent. Minimum weight refers to the flysheet, inner tents and poles only.

PACK SIZE

The size of the tent stuff sack. It is worth noting that the actual pack size can often be reduced by compressio­n.
