Ultralight 3 Season Tent

Three season tents enjoy a large share of the tent market and it is not hard to see why. They are rugged, durable, dependable, and can accommodate campers and hikers in nearly all weather conditions. While they don't offer the extreme protection and shielding of a four season tent, they more than make up for it and, in some cases, trump the four season tents when it comes to affordability and ease of use. The fact of the matter is that most areas, even during the peak of the winter, don't have weather conditions extreme enough to warrant the extra protection offered by a four season tent. In addition, you'd be hard pressed to find even the most dedicated campers who enjoy sitting under the stars in sub-zero temperatures.

At any rate, three season tents have certainly shown signs of becoming more and more user-friendly as new materials have shown their worth in making the tents both stronger and lighter, at the same time. There are a whole new slew of ultra light three season tents that offer the same protection and ruggedness as typical tents at a fraction of the weight. This is achieved both by improved material in the tent itself and stronger aluminum in the tent poles, making them lighter as they increase the strength.

The reason a camper would want an ultra light tent should be obvious. When hiking towards your campsite, you'll have to carry all of your gear. The usual items needed for camping are heavy enough, and a tent can simply be overkill. Fortunately, it is now possible to have a three season tent fit comfortably in your backpack and only adding a mere five pounds or so to your overall weight load. This certainly frees up space for things that are arguably more important, like food and water.

One thing is for certain, though. It is now possible for anybody who has ever wanted to camp but was afraid of the work involved to camp with ease and fun now. Ultra light three season tents not only make them easy to carry but they are also a breeze to put together. Nearly all of these tents on the market can be set up and ready for sleeping in within five minutes. Taking them down is equally easy. A lot of work has clearly been put into making these tents among the most user-friendly in the market. Why not take a trip to your local sporting goods store and see for yourself?
