Winter tents have all the attributes you would expect and really want for a winter camping tent versus a “standard” kind of camping tent – things such as a greater ability to keep in warmth and keep out the cold. These days, this is often done with very high tech materials, just as you find with winter clothing for hikers and campers. Of course, there are also what are known as “four season tents” which are equally useful in both warmer and colder temperatures, so this is certainly an equally valid option when shopping for a winter tent.
As for brand names, there are a number of great brands, such as Coleman tents, which are always of very high quality. Other great brands include North Face, Eureka, and L L Bean, though this is not an exhaustive list by any means. Please check the links at the top of this page for some of the best vendors of winter tents?
What I think is even more important is determining just the kind of tent you want, as there is quite a variety available today.
Winter Tents With Wood Stove
For example, you can actually purchase a set that includes a winter tent with a wood stove integrated into it, which of course comes in real handy in the colder weather… as long as you have a source of wood available where you are camping, of course.
Now the price you can pay for winter tents varies tremendously depending on the size of the tent, extra features it might have, and of course it’s construction and quality. What I found is that shopping online will almost always provide a much larger selection, allowing you to quickly and easily determine what is best for your particular usage, and often you’ll find quite a bit better price for whichever style of winter tent you choose versus a local retail outlet.
