FAQs

Hiking tents are lightweight, portable, and versatile shelters for one or more people intended to shield them from wind, sun, rain, and other outdoor pests. The purpose of a hiking tent is to give a space to store one’s valuables and travel gear while assuring some privacy in the outdoors.
The foremost thing to ensure while planning for an outdoor camping adventure is to buy lightweight tents in NZ as they are portable and can be easily packed inside the rucksack. Once you have purchased the ideal hiking tent, put it inside the gear in the middle and close to your back. This would help you keep your balance while hiking or walking on the trail.
Regardless of whether you are buying a one person tent, a multi-season, or 3 person tent in nz, there are a few basic features that you must consider such as breathability, lightweight, and upright walls of the tent. Some other secondary attributes to review while shopping for hiking tents include capacity, seasonality, livability, ease of access, and setup.
As the name suggests, a 4-season hiking tent is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, be it heavy winds, rain, snowfall, or even blowing sand. Such hiking tents are a staple for those planning to spend comfortable days in the winter backcountry. On the other hand, a 3-season tent is ideal for warm weather conditions as they ensure good ventilation and keep the interiors comfortable.
Well, this entirely depends on the number of travellers and the hiking gear. Typically, a good rule of thumb to follow while shopping for hiking tents is to go up one person to ensure maximum comfort. For instance, the 2 man tents in nz are usually tight for 2. Hence, it’s best to go for 3 person tents unless you are comfortable with intimate spaces or trying to minimise size and weight.
