If you are looking for a backpacking tent for your next great adventure there are a few considerations to keep in mind. The guide below is intended to help you make the right choice to fit your specific needs.

• What is the intended use? Are you a summer hiker or extreme weather hiker? Keep in mind the environment that you will be using your new backpacking tent.


• What features do you need? Is a simple setup more important than high wind strength?


• How large does it need to be? A one-man tent is a lot lighter than a three man tents, but if you are going with a group you might want a larger tent rather than three one man tents.


• How important is weight? The longer you hike the heaver each and every ounce will be. For long distance hikers a lighter weight tent will be well worth the price.

XXREPLACE WITH A SENTENCE OR TWO ABOUT WHY PEOPLE MIGHT CHOOSE ONE STYLE OF THIS PRODUCT OVER ANOTHERXX

Consider the following:

• Weight-A key consideration for hikers, each and every ounce will count on your 20th mile of a long trip. For light hikers this is less of a consideration.


• Area-The size of the tent is important when considering the amount of gear and people using it. For a one-man show you can get by with a smaller tent. Not so for larger groups of backpackers.


• Durability-If your backpacking trips are in extreme wind, rain, snow then you may want to spend more for a more durable tent. Expect this to be factored into the cost.


• Cost-These tents are all great deals but some are more expensive because they are more durable, lighter and have added features. Pick the one that is right for you at the price point you can afford.
