Our tents are available in different sizes:
- 2-person tents : Ideal for couples or solo adventurers. These models are generally compact and lightweight, making them easy to transport.
- 3-person tents : Perfect for a family of 3, or a couple of 2 who are looking for as much space as at home. These tents offer more space and comfort, they are heavier and thicker.
- 4-person tents : Perfect for a family of 4, or 4 adults. These tents offer more space and comfort, they are heavier and thicker.
2. Your size
