SEA TO SUMMIT ALTO TR1 PLUS £425
With wild camping and backpacking going mainstream, cutting through the noise to pick out the best tents is getting trickier. But the Alto TR1 Plus (1228g) is amazingly roomy – with what must be best-in-class headroom, liveability and all-round spaciousness. This is achieved via a rather ingenious skeletal, all-in-one pole structure featuring the ‘Tension Ridge’ – a cross pole that widens the peak and creates near-perpendicular walls, angling upwards like a wingspan to maximise head and shoulder room.
VERDICT A tent notable for its roomy interior and amazing headroom, making it our pick of the bunch for 2022.
