How It Works

Tent ratings assume 20-inch shoulder width per person — fine for backpacking, cramped for car camping. For comfort, buy one size up from your group size (2 people = 3-person tent). A vestibule adds gear storage without floor space. Freestanding tents work on rock/platforms; stake-dependent tents are lighter. Peak height of 40"+ lets you sit up comfortably.
