Product Information

A good rule of thumb is to go for a tent that's claimed to sleep one more person than you need. If you're a family of four, for example, we'd recommend going for a five-person tent. That’s why I took along the Anker 535 portable power station. This is a formidable bit of kit that you charge up at home and offers 512Wh of power. According to Anker, it can charge a MacBook Air more than eight times from a single charge, power a fan for 10.9 hours, and run a fridge for 8.5 hours. Durable: Smart tents are built to last. They may have PVC coatings or other features that make them resistant to wear and tear, and they often come with travel covers to protect them during transport. Not all tents have indoor communal spaces that can house all the campers if the weather turns, and even those that do aren't always large enough for everyone to be comfortable. We pitch every tent, taking into account how long it takes, how clear the instructions are, how much physical effort is required, and how convenient the process is.

A smart fridge in the tent tweets when it runs out of water or booze and has an inbuilt entertainment centre relaying the BBC’s comprehensive coverage of the festival alongside custom virtual reality (VR) content. For lighting, which to be honest is pretty essential once the sun goes down, I tried several lights from Hoto, a company that makes stylish tools. The first was the Hoto Flashlight Power, an attractive-looking torch that comes with a rechargeable lithium battery, and two lighting modes. There’s nothing quite like returning to a big shady awning after a big ride or hike; (photo/Eric Phillips) How We Tested Camping Tents Polyester has less stretch than nylon and so it is more likely to tear. This rigidity is a benefit in wet conditions because it will sag less and absorb less water, but also makes it more fragile than nylon. The Kelty Discovery Element comes at a great price, but sacrifices durability by using inexpensive fiberglass poles; (photo/Eric Phillips) Coating Our team of camp-savvy testers had no trouble erecting the Base Camp 6 in light winds thanks to the intuitive color-coded poles and attachment points. For the uninitiated, very clear setup instructions are sewn into the tent’s storage bag.While the large side windows do provide an excellent view (and plenty of ventilation), the rainfly does stop short of providing full coverage over them. While this won’t be an issue in typical rain, particularly bad wind-driven rain will have the ability to soak into these seams given the chance. It's very common for manufacturers to be generous about the number of people they say can fit inside their tents. The number they give will be technically true, but it probably won't account for the space needed for campers' belongings, or the space people need for a comfortable night's sleep. Once the tents are up, we closely inspect the interior of each one and rate them on how likely campers are to have a comfortable and enjoyable experience that meets their needs.

While camping is a massive part of any music festival, it’s not always the most comfortable experience, so we wanted to create a 4GEE Smart Tent that tested the latest tech-inspired comforts,” said Mat Sears, director of communication and sponsorship at EE.

All incoming and outgoing calls are recorded for training and monitoring and quality purposes and are stored securely on Sutton Park Group servers. Whether you camp every weekend or once a year, ease of use is a major concern. Every tent on this list can be set up by one person (although some are easier than others). Our 5’5″ editor set up and took down each tent solo.

It is relatively heavier: Solar-powered tents can be heavier than traditional tents, which makes them more challenging to transport and set up. Then there are the interior features: A smaller rear door doubles as an organizational center, while an interior height of 68 inches allows for easy walking about inside the tent. We greatly appreciated the breathability built into the Wawona on a night camping in Washington’s San Juan Islands — where moisture from the sea can be heavy and keeping air moving is a priority. As enjoyable as camping can be, it also comes with challenges, especially when it comes to staying connected and powered up while being off the grid. The solar-powered tent is a revolutionary new technology that allows campers to generate their own power and stay connected even in the most remote locations. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what a solar-powered tent is, how it works, and the advantages and disadvantages of using one on your next camping trip. The SMRT Tent Summit Suite is a spacious and comfortable smart camping tent that is designed for families and groups. This tent comes with a range of features, including solar panels, LED lighting, and a built-in air conditioner. It also has multiple rooms and a large vestibule, providing plenty of space for sleeping and relaxing. How does the SMRT Tent SOFTSHELL differ from other tents? We have talked about materials extensively. Coatings, base fabrics, and pole construction all contribute to the strength and longevity of your tent, but the single most important factor in the life of your tent is you.Technology: Many smart tents come with advanced technology features like solar power and LED lights. Some even have built-in climate control systems that allow you to adjust the temperature inside the tent. Lightweight: Smart tents are designed to be lightweight and easy to carry. They may be made from lightweight materials like fiberglass poles or have telescopic ladders for easy setup. Lionel Jaillet, Dacia VP Product Performance said: “Having launched our new brand identity across all our models, we are now launching a new trim level across several models in the Dacia range. The Extreme trim level encapsulates Dacia’s outdoorsy spirit and gives even greater meaning to our brand promise. Sandero Stepway, Duster and Jogger will all be available in the Extreme trim level, which boasts a unique adventurous look and features that complement outdoor activity equipment.”

The power source for a solar-powered tent is usually a battery that stores the energy collected by solar panels. Solar panels are typically mounted on the roof of the tent and absorb sunlight to generate electricity. This electricity is then stored in a battery that can power lights, fans, charging stations, and other small electronic devices inside the tent.Now the Achilles heel: This wonderful tent only offers a single entry/egress point, which we found a hindrance to an otherwise excellent tent. We would have loved the ease of even a 1.5-door design — like on The North Face Wawona 4. You might consider the integrated LED porch light lantern a worthy balm, as it is pretty enjoyable to use. By considering these factors, you can choose the right smart tent for your needs and enjoy a comfortable and enjoyable camping experience. The Impact of Smart Tents on Camping Experience Tent footprints are available to buy separately from tents at outdoor retailers. They're essentially an extra groundsheet that you can pitch before your tent, with the aim of pitching your tent on top of it.
