How to choose a hiking tent

Michael Balle Hansen by Michael Balle Hansen

There’s two main factors to consider when purchasing a hiking tent and those are:

  1. Cost.
  2. Weight.

There’s of course other factors such as number of sleepers, quality and such, but the 2 main factors are cost and weight for most people. You want to find a good balance of good value and lower weight since you will be carrying this tent to the camping spot.
