REI’s Half Dome tent sequence might be the most well-liked backpacking tent round. I am unable to let you know what number of of those I’ve seen on the path. It is moderately priced (particularly on sale), rugged, easy to arrange, and gives beneficiant dwelling house for 2 with gear. The tent physique is fabricated from 40-denier ripstop nylon for sturdiness on the base and on the ground, with 20-denier nylon mesh (each materials are Bluesign-approved). It additionally comes with a footprint, which is a rarity lately. The tent poles are aluminum and interchangeable, which makes them straightforward to arrange and take down. The Copper Spur under is lighter, however with a packed weight of just below 4 kilos, the 2-person Half Dome is not too heavy when break up between two folks.

Our favourite light-weight household backpacking tent, the MSR Elixir 4 tent is not fairly as dear as choices just like the Massive Agnes Copper Spur, nevertheless it’s not a lot heavier. I’ve spent fairly just a few nights in right here with three youngsters, and there was loads of inside house. That mentioned, three adults might be extra comfy than 4. The mesh on the prime gives nice air flow on heat summer season nights and the crossover pole helps it get up properly within the wind. The 3-person measurement can also be on sale for $208.

Do you go all out if you exit?

The Massive Agnes Copper Spur sequence is the king of ultralight tents and this is absolutely the lowest worth we have seen (which most likely means a brand new mannequin subsequent 12 months). I’ve used the two-person and four-person fashions (on sale for $560) over time, and Massive Agnes has frequently refined the design to the purpose that these are fairly close to excellent. It is a high-quality, well-designed tent. It is light-weight, straightforward to arrange, and steady even in robust winds. The steep sidewalls offer you extra livable house than most tents and the “awning” design (with trekking poles or sticks) is nice. The one grievance I’ve is the value, however on sale, it is somewhat simpler to deal with.

If I needed to decide only one tent to personal, that is it. The Dagger Osmo 2P (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a stout, low-to-the-ground (peak peak is 42 inches), extremely sturdy tent—it holds up properly even in excessive winds (45 mph after I was testing). Pair the durability with massive, spacious vestibules and a roomy inside, with wonderful stargazing potential because of the mesh roof, and you’ve got a terrific backcountry tent.

Bikepacking (backpacking on a motorbike) is (if it is not already) the following large factor. Manufacturers like Massive Agnes are even designing tents with shorter pole lengths, enabling them to suit between drop handlebars, or in panniers.

It’s additionally accessible in lighter, smaller, one- and two-person choices, all with twin vestibules and doorways, hidden helmet storage, and exterior webbing for hanging out moist garments. Seize your self one of many hammock-style Gear Lofts ($13), which create an enormous stash house with out cluttering the tent ground.

In the event you prefer to camp within the fall or spring, you then want a tent that’s somewhat extra strong to maintain out the wind, the chilly, and the weather. That usually means your tent is heavier and bulkier, however Sea and Summit’s new “3-plus season” tent is succesful sufficient in virtually any climate whereas staying loopy mild—simply 3 kilos and 12 ounces for this three-person mannequin. I used it on a 5-day journey to Loon Lake in northern California in early October, a real “shoulder season” journey with daytime highs within the 80s, nighttime lows within the 40s, and in a single day winds of as much as 60 mph. My favourite design element is that the pole bag is stored inflexible by an insert of opaque white plastic. Clip it to the tent’s ceiling, pop in your headlamp, and illuminate your abode. —Michael Calore

The Alto TR1 is our prime decide for light-weight 1-person tents. I am at present testing the Hilleberg Akto, which I like somewhat higher as an all-around and colder climate solo tent, however the Sea to Summit TR1 continues to be a terrific selection if you happen to’re primarily in hotter climates. The TR1 did excellent in our testing on the abrasive volcanic rock and excessive winds of the north shore of Hawaii, and at this worth, you actually cannot go unsuitable.
