Your choice depends on where you plan to go, the weather you expect, and how much weight you are willing to carry. This guide explains the main tent types, design features, and key components to help you make an informed decision.

Tent accessories & tent care
Footprints: protect and extend the life of the tent floor.
Specialist pegs: useful for snow, sand, or rocky ground.
Cleaning and proofing: wash mud off, reproof fabric, and reseal seams if leaks develop.
Storage: always dry fully before packing; store loosely in a cotton or mesh bag.
Final thoughts
The right tent depends on your activity, environment, and priorities. A lightweight backpacking tent won’t match the comfort of a family campsite tent, just as a large dome won’t handle storms like a geodesic mountain tent. Choose based on your most common use, and remember that proper care will keep your tent performing for years. For tailored advice and hands-on guidance, visit us in store.
