How to Choose a Backpacking Tent What capacity tent do you need? How many are in your group? Backpacking tent models usually hold 1 to 5 people. There's no industry standard for what each size means, so check product specs. Assume a close fit for the number of people your tent is designed to accommodate, especially with ultralight models. If you need more elbow room, consider the next size up. Decide whether you need all-year protection Many backpackers, especially beginners, choose a 3-season tent for great all-around protection. 3+- season tents are a little sturdier and warmer than their 3-season cousin, and with less mesh. 4-season tents are engineered to handle high winds and other severe weather. This can make them stuffy in warm weather. Consider alternative shelters like hammock tents, bug shelters or bivy sacks depending on your preferences and the conditions you may typically encounter on backpacking trips. Tent weight Backpacking tents are a tradeoff between weight and comfort. Pay attention to the difference between packaged weight (every part included) and minimum trail weight (the weight of just the tent, rain fly and poles). Think about livability Peak area: How tall is the tent? Floor area: How much square footage is inside?
