Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the ideal weight for a backpacking tent?
For solo hiking, look for tents under 3 lbs. For two-person setups, under 5 lbs offers a good balance between weight and comfort.
Are 4-season tents good for summer camping?
Not usually — 4-season tents are designed for snow and wind, which makes them hotter in summer. Opt for 3-season tents for better ventilation.
What’s the difference between single-wall and double-wall tents?
Single-wall tents are lighter and faster to set up, while double-wall tents offer superior moisture control and protection against condensation.
How do I waterproof my tent?
Use a seam sealer and a waterproof spray. Reproof your tent every 12–18 months or when water stops beading on the fabric.
