If you're willing to secure a few stakes and sacrifice some stability, this two-person tent offers roomy quarters.

The six-person version of the 2014 Editors’ Choice Award-winning Optic 2.5 tent, this palace features a rollaway fly and adjoining doors for 180-degree views.

Expansive headroom and an unusually sturdy design make this three-person tent a comfy, affordable choice for car-camping and short-mileage overnights.

We’ve long loved the livability (and affordability) of this iconic double-wall two-person dome tent, which won our 2010 Editors’ Choice Gold Award. This spring, a 10-ounce weight reduction and improved ventilation make a good thing even better.

Innovative fabric eliminates drippy condensation, the bane of singlewall mountain tents.

An unconventional design delivers comfort and protection for even the tallest campers—with no weight penalty.

Alpine storms can’t shake this four-season shelter. It’s no ultralight, but the strength-to-weight ratio is hard to beat.

It’s strong enough to handle wintry conditions, but light enough to carry all year.
