Frequently Asked Questions
For solo backpacking tents, anything under 3 pounds is generally considered lightweight, with ultralight options weighing less than 2 pounds. For 2-person backpacking tents, under 4 pounds is lightweight, with ultralight options under 3 pounds.
Freestanding tents can stand on their own without stakes and are easier to set up on various surfaces. Non-freestanding tents require stakes or trekking poles for structure, but typically weigh less and pack smaller.
Single-wall tents are lighter but more prone to condensation. Double-wall tents have separate rainfly and inner tent layers, providing better ventilation and condensation management, but at a slight weight penalty.
For lightweight durability, look for ripstop nylon or polyester with silicone coating (silnylon/silpoly) for the rainfly. DCF (Dyneema Composite Fabric) offers the best strength-to-weight ratio but at a higher cost. Aluminum poles provide the best balance of weight and strength.
