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.
