Choosing your tent
When you set off on an adventure in the great outdoors, choosing the right tent is crucial.
At Go Overland, we offer a wide selection of tents suited to different types of travelers and expeditions. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right tent for your needs.
1. Tent capacity
The first criterion to consider is the number of seats.
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 looking for as much space as they have at home. These tents offer more space and comfort, but are heavier and thicker.
- 4-person tents: Perfect for a family of 4 or 4 adults. These tents offer more space and comfort, but are heavier and thicker.
2. Your height
Fold-out tents or clamshell tents, these two designs have different characteristics, making them appealing depending on your size.
If you are under 1.85 m tall, no worries, you will sleep comfortably in any of our tents. If you are over 1.85 m tall, flap tents such as theTrekorJourneymay not offer you enough comfort in terms of length.
For greater comfort and space,we recommendour Expedition S,Expedition M,andExpedition XL models.
3. Duration of trips
The length of your trips also influences your choice of tent.
For weekend getaways, a lighter tent such as the Trek is preferred. However, for extended trips, a more robust tent such as the Journey or Expedition S or more comfort and space like our models Expedition M and XL Expedition are recommended.
4. Frequency of use
If you go camping regularly, investing in a sturdy and durable tent is a wise decision. Our premium tents, such as the Journey or theExpedition M, are designed to withstand a variety of conditions and offer greater durability.
For occasional use, the Trek is a very good entry-level model that will fully satisfy your needs while remaining more affordable.
5. Types of tents: rigid or semi-rigid
At Go Overland, we only promote hard-shellroof tents because we believe they are more durable, easier to set up, and perfect for any length of adventure.
The Trek, a semi-rigid tent. In other words, it combines a rigid structure with PVC fabric. This model is designed for adventurers looking for good value for money. Its rigid structure offers good weather resistance, while remaining easy to install.
