These are the tell-tales of a good quality camping tent:Materials- nylon is the best material if you want a lightweight tent, but it breaks down fast; cotton canvas is breathable, insulating, and environmentally friendly, but it’s more susceptible to mold damage; canvas is long-lasting, but its tents are heavy and expensive. Ventilation- excellent ventilation is essential to promote a steady flow of fresh air and to avoid condensation on the walls as you sleep. Weight- if you are backpacking, the tent’s weight and packed size will significantly affect its portability. Heavy-duty zippers- look for a tent with heavy-duty, durable zippers that don’t stick. Easy setup- a good quality camping tent needs to be straightforward to pitch and break down. It should come with all the necessary components and clear instructions.
