Look beyond the person rating: sleeping space, packed size and the conditions you camp in matter just as much.

Tents buying advice
Before you buy
The whole shelter, not one number
Consider ventilation, fly coverage, pitching and intended season together. A waterhead rating alone does not establish storm performance.
Carry it or drive it?
Check the stated weight basis, packed length and room needed to pitch. Car-camping space can be a poor trade for a long walk-in.
From first use to the next trip
Use, care & repair
01Rehearse before departure
Pitch at home with the correct manual. Check poles or air beams, valves, pegs and guy lines; confirm which accessories are included.
02Plan your pitch
Use a permitted, suitable campsite and follow the manufacturer's anchoring instructions. Leave space for guy lines, entrances and any awning.
03Dry before storage
Remove dirt gently and dry every part before long-term storage. Follow the model's cleaning instructions rather than applying a generic detergent or coating.

Common buying questions
Good to know
Does a four-person tent comfortably sleep four adults?
Not necessarily. Check usable floor space against your bedding and equipment. Use a separate comfort capacity where the manufacturer provides one; otherwise it remains unconfirmed.
Does a higher waterproof rating mean a better tent?
It describes a fabric test, not the complete shelter in a storm. Design, seams, fly coverage, ventilation, maintenance and correct pitching also matter.
Do I need a footprint?
Check the exact model's recommendations and what is already included. Confirm dimensions and attachment points; a matching product name alone is not proof of compatibility.
Keep your options open
