4 Season Tents – Winter Tents

If you are thinking about going camping regularly during colder weather then you really must look specifically for winter tents or 4 season tents as they are often known. They are designed for all types of winter weather and for your own safety and those camping with you, you really must get top quality gear designed for the specific purpose of camping in winter.

Compared to 3 season tents, the 4 season tents are more sturdy and usually have extra poles available to strengthen the tent and help it to withstand really strong winds or heavy snow falls. These winter tents are designed to provide campers with comfortable shelter from the wind, cold and wet while at the same time having very good ventilation.

It seems that the most popular winter tent design is the tunnel tent. It comes double layered keeping any snow out and is very sturdy. They are usually quite big inside which is important as it is normal that during winter you will spend more time inside the tent than you would during summer camping. Also it is better to have a foyer area to store wet clothing and boots in as this helps with the overall ventilation. When purchasing just check that the poles are made from high strength aluminium or carbon fiber as these types of poles are far less likely to fracture.

I would recommend buying a 4 season tent if you are at all likely to camp during winter – you can use it during the summer too so you don’t need to buy 2 tents!
