Which tent is for me?

Bivouacs & Solo Tents
Lightweight, compact shelters for one person use when weight is an issue. These are particularly popular with cyclists and backpackers. Intended for three season use.

Expedition Tents
True expedition tents are designed to withstand high winds, heavy snow, intense UV exposure and driving rain. They are the best choice for winter camping, mountaineering, and expeditions.

Three Season Tents
For the majority of people seeking shelter for their outdoor adventures, three season tents offer the best combination of comfort features and protection. Engineered to withstand driving rain, wind, insects and a wide range of environmental conditions, they also provide excellent ventilation.
Thoughtful design elements include fast and easy set-up, storage details, windows and skylights in some, and vestibules for added space. Lightweight compact designs make them ideal for backpacking, cycling, and boating trips.

Family Tents & Shelters
Family tents are specifically designated for larger capacity groups or families seeking a portable shelter for milder weather use. Ideal for camping, they are the classic summer tent for family vacations. Shelters may include a freestanding screen house for group or family use, various freestanding vestibule extensions or tarp-like shelters to use alone or with your tent.
