Tents & Shelters Our tent range has something to suit your camping adventures – whether you’re heading into the hills on an overnight hike or relaxing around the campsite with family and friends. Use this information booklet to help you pick your perfect tent. • Pick a tent equipped to withstand the harshest conditions you might encounter. If you’re a three-season backpacker travelling in Europe, consider a four-season tent as winter could come early. • Consider the ventilation within your tent. Good ventilation should achieve two things – reduce condensation on the underside of the fly fabric and provide regular air exchange within the inner tent for cooling and reducing CO2 build up. • Weight is an important factor if you ever plan to carry your tent and will potentially influence your decision between different models.

Technical information

Tent ShapesTunnelTunnel tents offer the best space to weight ratio and are fast and easy to set up. They rely on good anchors at each end, otherwise the structure can collapse. Tunnel tents are more aerodynamic when pitched end-onintothewind,andbetterwhen pitching area is at a premium.

GeodesicGeodesictentsareheavierthantunneltentsforthesamesizeandtakealittlelongertoerectdueto their more complex structure. However, due to their freestanding nature they are easier to position and less reliant on anchors for stability. They are also less sensitive to wind direction andmorerigid.Geodesictentsaregenerallythepreferred choice for situations with strong winds and snow loading.

WeightThis is an important factor if you ever plan to carry your tent and will potentially influence your decision between different models more than any other factor. By choosing the highest qualitylightweightmaterials available, the strength and durability of your tent are not compromised while maintaining the lowest possible weight for each model.
