Backpacking Tent Capacity

When outfitting your next backpacking trip, it’s important to select the right size backpacking tent. Too big and you’ll be carrying unnecessary extra weight. Too small and you won’t sleep as well due to cramped sleeping arrangements.

Fortunately, modern tents come in a range of sizes to accommodate anything from a single backpacker to a group of eight or more.

Choosing the Ideal Tent Size

Most outdoor enthusiasts recommend selecting a backpacking rated for slightly more than the number of people in your group. A common method is to add two to any tent size. For example, if you have a family of four, look for a six-person tent.

Selecting a larger tent will give you more room for maneuvering and storing gear like backpacks without exposing them to the elements. If you have bad weather, you’ll be glad you have the extra room so you, your companions, and your gear can stay warm and dry.

Types of Backpacking Tents

Most backpacking tents are rated as either three-season or four-season. Three-season tents work well in most traditional environmental conditions like wind, rain, heat, and chill.

Four-season tents are designed a bit differently so they can handle the added stress of winter storms. Stronger seams, low profile designs, and more robust rain flys provide protection against snow load, hail, ice storms, and heavy winds.

Popular Frame and Pole Materials

You have plenty of choices when selecting the structural materials of your tent’s frame and poles. The most common materials are aluminum, fiberglass, carbon, and steel. Each offers a unique combination of strength, durability, and weight.

If you plan to hike long distances, it’s a good idea to select ultralight tent poles. Carbon and aluminum are great lightweight materials that won’t add a ton of weight to your pack.

Customer-Favorite Brands for Backpacking Tents
