What this ranking does not cover#
This ranking compares the weight each maker publishes and the list price. It does not cover interior space, how a tent pitches, how it handles wind and rain, condensation, or how long the fabric lasts.
Makers also count weight differently: some publish the minimum trail weight without stakes or stuff sack, others the packed weight. Each tent here is ranked on its maker's complete figure wherever the maker prints one, and on its only figure where it does not; where the maker says what its figure includes, the Weight basis line on the product page repeats it. Check it before comparing two tents a few ounces apart.
