The only thing better than crawling into your tent with aching muscles after a day on the hill is waking up to the sunrise and starting the next day's adventure.
It's clear we are likely to be planning our adventures close to home this year so here's a selection from our range of tents; browse budget options for summer walking holidays and super-lightweight backpacking tents for all season expeditions.
For solo adventures
Hard to decide if the 2-season Coshee Micro is a budget tent or a luxury bivvy - it's definitely lightweight for the price at 1.4kg
At 2kg the Svalbard isn't the lightest tent in the 1-person class, but the Nordisk brings hardcore wind resistance and is ready for winter adventures.
The Allto TR1's very low weight of 1.11 kg can be brought down to a miniscule 'Trail weight' of just 938g, which is incredible for a three-season tent with this much headroom!

Anyone else a bit bored by green tents? I have four tents - blue, orange, yellow and red. They're conspicuous but they're nice friendly colours and look good in photos. Visual pollution? I've almost stepped on some green tents they're so hard to see.
