Camping Tent FAQs

What does the season rating on a tent refer to?

It’s not uncommon for tents to be described as being suitable for certain seasons. Typically this will be three-season or four-season. This refers to the typical weather conditions that the tent has been designed to deal with. A three-season tent is generally going to be lighter, have more mesh ventilation and less snow-ready features. A four-season tent, by comparison, will be stronger, have less ventilation and be suitable for use in extreme and snowy conditions.

Does Paddy Pallin stock ultralight tents?

We’re all about the ethos of ‘less is more’ when it comes to the gear you’ll be carrying outdoors. Tents are one of the bigger items you’ll take hiking and a great place to shed some grams. We stock several ultralight tents, from Nemo, Wilderness Equipment, Mont and MSR. However, we keep in mind that if you’re headed to particularly snowy or extreme environments that an ultralight tent might not be the best choice. 

Which single-person tents are available at Paddy Pallin?

For those who like to hike solo, or just prefer a palace for one, we stock several single-person hiking tents with several models available from MSR, Nemo and Marmot. See our in-depth Nemo comparison here.

Does Paddy Pallin sell 2 person Tents?

Yes, Paddy Pallin does sell two-person tents. We also have 1 person tents for solo travels and 3 person tents for group adventures. 2 person tents can be used solo as well, as they have plenty of room to keep all your hiking gear inside safe from the elements. At Paddy Pallin, we stock plenty of 2-person hiking tents from the top outdoor brands such as Nemo, Sea to Summit, Marmot and MSR. These hiking tents for 2 people are built with lightweight durable materials, perfect for you to take on all of your camping and hiking trips in the years to come.

Do I need a special kind of tent for camping in the snow?

Not all tents are built for snow camping. Winter tents are designed to withstand strong winds and heavy snow, often featuring thicker poles, a streamlined shape, and solid fabric inners (not mesh) to block cold and wind. Look for models labeled “four-season” or “winter use.” If unsure, ask our friendly Paddy Pallin staff. See our Introduction to Layering for more tips on staying warm in extreme conditions.

How should I store my tent?

When you’re out on a hiking or camping trip, it’s totally fine to pack your tent away a bit damp. However, once you get home, always make sure to remove it from the bag and hang it up to air dry. This is also a good time to shake off any lingering dirt or grass. For more information on tent care and storage, check out our guide here.

For two people, should I get a two or three-person tent?

While a two-person tent may seem like the obvious choice for two people, don’t immediately discount a three-person option. If keeping the overall packed size and weight to a minimum is your priority then stick with a 2P tent. However if you’d like a little extra space and prefer to keep your gear inside with you, a three-person tent could be a better option. If you’re tall, it might just be more comfortable as well. For any prolonged stays you’ll likely appreciate the extra room!
