Collection: Camping & Outdoors

Choosing camping gear

• Tent size: the rated capacity assumes sleepers lying shoulder to shoulder. Size up by one person for gear, or pick a two-room tent for a family.
• Waterproofing: look at the rainfly's waterproof rating and whether there is a porch to keep boots and packs dry.
• Setup: an instant-setup tent goes up much faster than a classic pole tent, which helps when you reach the campsite after dark.
• Campsite comfort: a flushing portable toilet or a shower tent with a solar bag makes backcountry or lakeside trips far more pleasant.

Frequently asked questions

What does a tent's waterproof rating in mm mean?

It is the water pressure the fabric withstands before moisture seeps through, measured in millimetres. The higher the number, the better the tent handles long, heavy rain.

How should I store a tent after a trip?

Dry it completely before packing it away, or mildew can set in within days. Then keep it in its bag in a dry spot, out of direct sunlight.
