Having the right 4-season tent gives you the freedom to explore all year round, regardless of the weather. Whether you’re looking to do casual UK winter camping or mountaineering in some of the world’s most brutal conditions, your 4-season tent is your first line of defence. four-season tents are warmer, sturdier, and perform better in harsher conditions than their three-season counterparts, keeping you safer! This one is for the real weight weenies – the Vaude Lizard GUL 1P weighs just 690g. That, frankly, is ludicrously light. It makes the Vaude suited to riders who want the protection of a tent without the additional weight. The Lizard GUL 1P’s low weight will cost you, though. Of course I was in my garden on a beautiful sunny day with no rain and wind. How would it go pitching in wind and rain? Kudos to Sierra Designs for their eco efforts here as well. Out of all the tents in this best two-person tents round-up, this one is arugably the most eco-friendly. The materials, for instance, come from recycled sources and no eco-hazardous chemicals are present.The flysheet is 10D and PU and silicone coated nylon, with a large cutout at the head of the tent which keeps the overall weight down while increasing ventilation as well. The bathtub groundsheet reaches up high enough to protect the exposed section that this section creates. As a winter tent, the Laser Compact AS is a good choice. The design is a bit heavy for summer unless you plan on high-level camping in storms. How easy is it to erect the tent? Fast and simple works best, especially if you need to pitch in an emergency.

The overall design is sturdy, reliable and will suit those who like to be as subtle as possible when they wildcamp. Photo: Chris Johnson Tester’s Verdict The Outdoors Magic staff plus our Gear Testers have tested out countless tents over the last few years. Here are the 10 options that have impressed us all the most. Like the Snugpak Lonospere, the Vango Helium UL1 can’t match the high-end, premium features of some of the tents in this list; nor is it as competitive as the likes of Snugpak on price. But this means it fits neatly on its own, in the middle, providing a mid-range option with an excellent balance between weight and price. In fact, it’s pretty good value considering how light this is, measuring just 1200g. It features a Protex 3000mm waterproof flysheet, 70 denier nylon fabric ground sheet and useful vents which allow air flow to combat condensation. Handily the hooped main pole has a high arch on it, meaning you can comfortably sit up inside. We couldn’t be happier that U.S. based brand Big Agnes have started to bring their well thought-out and fully featured tents to our side of the pond. This, the Copper Spur HV UL2 is very similar to that of the MSR Hubba Hubba NX in that it’s inner pitched first yet can be used freestanding and without the fly when conditions are more favourable.The single forked pole design makes for an easy pitch, while Nemo’s own ‘Flybar’ extends headroom space by giving two additional attachment points for the inner thus widening the width of the roof. This simple freestanding design can either be pitched inner only, or with a lightweight flysheet.
