This two-person camping gear is designed to withstand all four seasons. It shows good wind resistance and is completely waterproof. The living space is large and well insulated. It sits on the mosquito nets to draft and has clips to place your things. It is useful for going on a hike, because on the one hand it is light and on the other hand it is easy to assemble and disassemble. However, we blame him for the lack of pocket.

This model stands out above all for its simplicity and speed of installation. Waterproof and spacious, its interior admits three people and their inflatable mattresses. Landlords appreciate its storage pockets, the protection it offers against insect invasions, and its ventilation system, but the entrance is not protected from the rain. If its components allow light to penetrate, they guarantee resistance to light to medium winds. Finally, different variants are also available such as the Air Seconds 5.2 Fresh & Black for five people (with stay) or the 2 Seconds Easy Fresh & Black, smaller, for two people.

This tent is designed to accommodate up to three people in a temperate climate but you are more comfortable with two than three. If it is heavy and bulky, it is nevertheless very practical. It has two compartments: a sleeping area and a small entrance hall. The waterproofness of the first is certified while the general quality of the materials guarantees good resistance. Thanks to this configuration, you can store your personal belongings. In addition, its two ventilation windows give it excellent breathability. For larger committee vacations, she is also available for four Where eight people.

This all-weather four-person tent offers strong materials and good waterproofness. The width is well and truly thought out for this number and the high-wind allows you to store your things there to be comfortable in the interior canvas. In addition, the blackout manages to attenuate a little the heat usually present in classic tents and even includes UV protection (SPF50). On the other hand, with more than 6.5 kg on the scale, we do not recommend it for treks, bivouacs and hikes.

How to choose the best camping tent for the money?

Whether you are an adventurer or an occasional camper, choosing a tent is a real challenge as there are so many models on the market. However, how you use it has a big influence on the ideal choice. Entry-level models are often designed for summer, while prices have to go up for more protection.

Before starting this selection, we established the criteria determining the quality of a camping tent:

• The basic structure : a tent is made up of different elements, such as the inner canvas ensuring insulation, the poles influencing stability, the flysheet to avoid the risk of condensation, and the groundsheet providing comfort and impermeability.
• The weight : for a hike, a light tent is preferred so as not to weigh down your legs. For camping, you can take a heavier model as long as it is easily transported by car or other. Generally, the heaviness of a tent is due to its larger format, therefore offering more space.
• A 3 or 4 season tent : the three seasons can be used from spring to autumn. The four-season tent, as its name suggests, can be used all year round, since it is resistant to the cold and the weight of the snow. Be careful, however: some entry-level models claim three seasons when in reality, they are not resistant to wind or rain.
• The capacity : each tent has a specific capacity. However, this concerns sleeping alone (count 55 to 60 cm per person). Thus, two people, if they want to store luggage in the tent, have every interest in opting for a tent of three or four people.
• Strength in the face of bad weather : structure is decisive. To offer good resistance to wind and bad weather, the ideal is to opt for crisscrossed arches, made of good quality materials, flexible and solid. The waterproofing is also to be taken into account and, to do this, you have to look at the groundsheet as well as the reinforcement of the seams.
• Aeration : the presence of windows better prevents condensation. The location in which you install the base can also generate more or less humidity. In this case, we advise you to move away from water points such as lakes or rivers and above all, to place yourself under the rays of the sun to dry the tent quickly.
• The mosquito net : not only does it protect you from small animals, but it can also help evacuate condensation.
• Assembly and disassembly : with new technologies, it is sometimes possible to assemble it in no time, by assembling its components or simply tossing it in the air. The shape usually has an influence on the speed of installation. Thus, dome tents are most often easy to set up, thanks to their self-supporting structure.
• Storage spaces : usually there are pockets to place your gadgets, apses to store your backpacks and shoes and / or ceiling ties that can accommodate flashlights. Their location and number can therefore be decisive for your comfort.

NB: if you are a novice in hiking, do not hesitate to consult our advice to prepare you well. From the inflatable mattress to the camping lamp, including the chemical toilet, we have also carried out a series of comparisons that can help you get well equipped.
