Some people claim that the capacity ratings are inflated. This means that companies claim their tents can hold more people than they actually can. While this may be true in some cases, it is not always the case. When choosing a tent, it is important to consider the size and weight. A smaller tent will be easier to carry, but it may not be large enough for all your gear. Conversely, a larger tent will be heavier and more difficult to carry, but it will provide more space for you and your gear.
