Selecting a Tent
Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Expect the Worst
In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.

Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.

For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.

Domes and Tunnels
Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.

Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.

Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.

  • Great tent for the price


    By A9K8BK4EAVT34 on 2007-04-06
    I bought this tent for Spring Vacation for the children and I.
    I did not set this tent up before going on vacation to the coast in Oregon.
    Once we got to the campsite and I took it out of the box;the directions were easy and it was easy to set up, but I have set up tents before.
    There are 6 poles, 2 of which you really don't have to use if you don't want too as they just go for small flaps over doorway and in the back over window, I did not use them camping, but do now use them with the tent set up at home in the yard for the kids.
    In compairing size of the tent to the price with other tents, this tent is a very large tent for the money I paid.
    I am happy with it, I am happy with it and the extra room is great for putting everything in the tent you don't want to leave out when leaving camp for the day.
    It rained very hard the first night camping, the wind blew awful too.
    The tent comes with great stakes and metal rings on the corners not just rings sewed into the material itself. I really like that.
    At one point I thought the tent would blow away with us in it. It never did. It held fast using the system of directions they provided and that was amazing to me!

    I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because it is not the quality of tent that more expensive tents are (ie zippers), but it is a great tent for the money.
    I would buy this tent again if I could still get it for the price I paid of alittle over $80.00 and it qualified for free shipping which was wonderful.

  • Newbies like it!

    Great tent and easy to set up. We are new to the world of camping and this tent works great for us.

  • Great tent for the money


    By A1AYRO1Z990YW1 on 2008-05-05
    The tent was ordered on 4/29/08 and it arrived on 05/01/08 I assembled it when I got home in about 20 minutes alone by myself with little help from the directions. It has been about 25 years since my boy scout days since I've put up a tent and was very impressed with the ease of assembly. I did apply a seam sealer to the rain fly and windows/doors and such(which should be done on any tent no matter the brand or cost). I camped in it on Friday 05/02/08 and had a huge test for my new tent. During the night I had a severe thunderstorm that dumped about 2 1/2 inches of rain, 25-40 mph winds, horrific lightning and tornado watch all over middle Tenneessee all of this in a time frame of 2 hours. I naturally had a few very minor drips inside the tent and some water coming around the bottom of the door, but with that amount of water and wind I knew I would have some, but pleased with how it held up. The only thing I did not like was the open vents along the top of the tent. This will be great for ventilation when warm outside, but with its design a 35-40 degree night is gonna be a cold because of the open roof design.

    The ease of assembly, the strength of structure once it is assembled, the appearance and the fact that there is enough room inside the tent for my small family and my 2 large Labs and my gear has made me happy with this purchase and I highly recommend this tent to anyone.



  • Leaks!!!


    By A2VFT3PC640BB9 on 2008-06-06
    This tent is supposed to be water proof but I bought it for my birthday weekend and it only lightly rained and it seemed like nothing got wet until we packed up to go home and there were puddles of water under my air mattress that were coming from the corners of the tent....All four corners....
    So I was pretty upset since it was brand new and that was my first use of it but I took it back to the store right away and got my money back for it so that was good.

  • Good Sized Tent for Move-Ability
    By A3Y1ILN1EIYI1 on 2007-06-19
    I got this tent for two people & it works wonderfully to get clothes bags, sleeping bags, extra room & whatever else you need to put in the tent. Great sun spots for during the day. Works well to add more people if camping with little ground room.

  • Excellent Value
    By A1QFEW82UTS2J1 on 2007-07-03
    I just took this tent camping, and I was extremely happy with it! It was very easy to set up - I set it up in about 25 minutes by myself the first time. It is very spacious and overall a great value for the money.

  • Best Tent Ever, Very Well Made and Lots Of Room
    By ARX79DPQ3X3AB on 2007-12-09
    Easy to set up in seconds.
    Does not leak water.
    Holds up in the rain and winds.
    Great Quality.
    My family loves it.

    If you are a new camper or experienced one this one is for you with lots of space. Great tent.

    Very easy to put up and lots of room for a family. Highly recomended. Good quality for BURNING MAN also. You will not be disappointed, if you get it for $100 or less a great deal!

  • The 10 Year warranty sucks
    By A2P9H5SMDUUQ6L on 2007-06-08
    We received this tent This week, we set the tent up on Wed. come Thursday the tabs that hold the steaks where tearing and one riped a hole in the tent so I called to check on the warranty since the tent had only been up for 12 HOURS well they told me that I would have to sent the tent back to them WITH MY MONEY and if they seen that it was a defalt in the tent and not done by wind that they would replace it... 12 HOURS IS ALL THAT IT TOOK FOR THIS TO HAPPEN... So if you bought this tent because of the warranty then you got a bad deal...

  • Not easy for beginner
    By ATXCESBJ9X9UJ on 2007-07-03
    I am a first time tent buyer and the directions that come with this are a lot less than a beginner needs. I tried for an hour to figure out how to put this tent up and still have not been able to. You definately need at least 2 adults and someone who has knowledge of putting tents up as the directions are very brief. I have not yet used it so I cannot atest to its durability.
