Features and Benefits of Hiking Tents

Hiking tents are specifically designed to be lightweight and are easy to set up and dismantle. Some trekking tents are freestanding, while others include heavy-duty guy ropes, tent poles and other tent accessories. Ultralight hiking tents won't weigh you down while on the trail and are the tent style of choice for backpackers and short-stay visitors to Australia.

Hiking tents are constructed from ultralight nylon or Ripstop polyester that can flex and stretch according to the conditions. These materials are waterproof and wind resistant, allowing you to repose comfortably in your hiking tent or swag no matter how bad the weather is outside. Hiking tents are primarily designed for sleeping rather than daytime relaxation, and are designed to lay close to the ground for avoiding high winds. Trekking and hiking tents are in demand at Anaconda, and it's worth checking out impressive offerings from leading brands.

Hiking Tents FAQs

Hiking tent vs camping tent - what is the difference?

The difference between a hiking tent and a camping tent is that hiking tents are more compact and light - designed to be transported on foot. Camping tents are more generously sized and designed to be transported by vehicle.

What else should I consider when buying a hiking tent?

Depending on the time of year of your trip and the likely climate you will find yourself in, check out if your selected hiking tent is suitable for the season in question. Most hiking tents are classed as two, three or four-season tents, while some are described as all-season. You should also consider other sleeping essentials you may need such as a hiking mat and sleeping bag for your tent.

What other uses are there for hiking tents?

Hiking tents can also be very useful if you are looking for some extra space to go alongside your family tent. An extra single-person tent or 2-person tent can double as storage and sleeping space, or a room for older kids to enjoy away time. Hiking tents, swags and 2-person tents are ideal for music festivals and outdoor events, or simply for enjoying a practice camping adventure in the backyard. Thanks to their lightweight structure, they are quickly set up at any time and with their own carry bag, and they are easy to take along to any event.
