Product Information

It’s somewhat intuitive, but well-known brands tend to put out long-lasting products. In this guide, I’ve highlighted some of the brands that you can trust to put the good gear in your hands. Features of geodesic tents: capable in harsh weather; lightweight; best suited for hiking; often a pricier option. Note that the tent is built from poly-cotton fabric, so this is a breathable but fully waterproof material with a waterproof rating of 5000 mm. The poles are strong aluminum.

The Coleman sundome 3-person tent is much better suited to fighting condensation than many of the other budget offerings out there and the walls should remain moisture-free all night. Protection from the wind The weight is 20.2 lb (9.2 kg), the inner area is around 58 ft² (5.4 m²) and the area under the vestibules is around 38 ft² (3.5 m²). So the total protected area is impressive 96 ft² (8.9 m²).

This Alps Mountaineering Aries 3 tent offers an inner floor area of 49 ft² (4.5 m²), but it also has two vestibules where you have 17.5 ft² (1.6 m²) of the protected space. So for such a type, this is a lot. Typically, I wouldn’t recommend a tent that weighs more than five pounds if you’re planning to hit the trails. At over eight pounds, this is a heavy tent. I certainly wouldn’t classify it as a lightweight hiking tent. While there’s little chance you’re going to fit the whole family in here, it’s an ideal beginner’s tent. Wait wait wait, I know what you’re thinking! That’s an insane price tag, and nothing on this list gets even close to that!For tents, a minimum of 2000mm is what you want. And don’t forget that the floor should have a higher rating because it has the extra pressure of you and your gear pressing down on it. Tent shapes explained If you’re planning on camping with three people you’re likely to have a more comfortable night’s sleep if you invested in a bigger tent, such as the Coleman sundome 4-Person tent or the even larger 6-Person version.

The tent can fit 3 people, as long as you manage to keep the gear and equipment in a separate tent or a vehicle. If there are three adults inside the tent, there will be no room for anything else. The tent offers 86 ft² (8 m²) of the floor area and this means 29 ft² (2.7 m²) per person. So clearly this is a lot of space for sleeping and for equipment. But this tent is not light, you have 15 lb (6.8 kg), so this is a camping tent to use at places with a motorized access. Some features do help the tent’s interior stay dry when it starts raining. For example, this affordable tent comes with a single zippered doorway with a small awning and rainfly. This tent is a great low-range option in general but does draw particular attention for its large vestibules. Again, I can’t stress how much I love vestibule space. It’ll save you so much time from arguing about whose valuables need to be protected from the morning dew and at the same time keeps you from smelling your buddy’s repugnant laundry all night long. For my best 3 person tent for camping in 2020, I’d like to present to you the NEMO Aurora 3P Tent with Footprint.

This tent is for 3 people, but its floored area is 122 ft² (11.3 m²) and there is a porch that has 40.4 ft² (3.75 m²). This is a tent with 2 rooms plus a large porch, so it is almost like a 3-room tent. One of the rooms is in an inner tent, and this is a dark rest bedroom. There is also a separate storage room. This tent offers lots of inner floored area, and this is why it is in such a position here in the list. You have 64.6 ft² (6 m²), and when you realize that the walls are steep and straight, you know that there is lots of volume inside.
