What does a 3 season tent mean?
A 3 season tent is best for late Spring, Summer, and early fall conditions. This means light rain, little or no snow, little to no wind, and generally warm, comfortable weather. They are made of simple, lightweight materials. They are not made to endure extreme conditions of any kind.
What is the difference between waterproof and water resistant tents?
There is a difference between water-resistant and waterproof — the former only reduces the amount of rainwater seepage while the latter eradicates it completely. As such, most tents are not waterproof unlike what is said on the package, which is nothing but a marketing tactic.
Should I get a 3 or 4 season tent?
3-season tents provide lightweight, breathable canopies that are suitable for most excursions and offer protection against wind and rain. 4-season tents are designed for intense winter weather. Heavier than the 3-season option, they offer protection against storm winds and heavy snow.
What makes a good waterproof tent?
The fabric is made of polyester, and the seams on the tent are treated with a polyurethane coating, which improves their ability to repel water. The material is on the thin side and made of 68D polyester with a polyurethane coating, giving it a 1500mm waterproof rating.
