C.A.M.P. Tents

Buying Guide: Tents and Equipment for a Worry-Free Trip

Are you looking for a reliable tent without wasting time? This short and clear guide helps you choose, compare, and buy the tent you need.

Types of Tents

Trekking: if you're going on a trek, prioritize lightweight tents for demanding hikers. They reduce the load and are quick to set up.

Family camping: for a comfortable weekend, opt for quality 3-person tents that offer space and stability.

Couples and bivouac: if you're traveling as a pair, it's often relevant to buy a 2-person tent to save weight and space.

Selection Criteria

• Weight: essential for multi-day hiking.
• Ease of setup: prioritize pre-attached poles or one-motion setup.
• Materials: fabric, waterproofing (PU, DWR), and reinforced floor.
• Seasonality: 3 seasons for most, 4 seasons for mountaineering.
• Volume and dimensions: check height and storage for bags.

Essential Accessories

For better sleep: a good mattress and a protective cover. Also consider a camping mosquito net to keep insects away during summer nights.

For mountaineering and technical approaches, complete your gear with C.A.M.P. equipment for climbing and mountaineering suited to mountain constraints.

On the textile side: for winter and cold evenings, buying Camp jackets for women is a warm and compact option, and you can buy Camp gloves online if you need quick hand protection.

Tent Maintenance

1. Always dry your tent before storing it to avoid mold.
2. Clean dirt with a soft brush and lukewarm water; avoid harsh detergents.
3. Repair small tears with patches or repair kits.
4. Store it in a large bag (not compressed) to preserve waterproofing.
