2 Person Tents Deals and Reviews

When you're looking for 2 person tents, it's very important to think of the weather conditions you're going to encounter.

If you will be backpacking or camping in the Spring, Summer, or early Fall - then a lightweight camping tent will be just fine. They are known as 3 season tents and are very easy to carry in your backpack, as the poles and fabric are very lightweight. But 3 season tents are not right for winter conditions - freezing temperatures, freezing rain, and snow. For this you will need a heavy weight 4 season tent. These are more of a challenge to carry in your backpack - heavier fabric and poles. But they are essential to staying protected from the extreme winter conditions.

The following are some of the top rated and best selling two man tents on the market today. The prices shown may vary a little, up or down, in your area.

Kelty Grand Mesa 2-Person Tent - This three season, dome-style tent features 29 square feet of floor space and 6 feet of vestibule storage space.

The bathtub style floor and the full-coverage rain fly will help keep the tent nice and dry on the inside.

Wenzel Nova Sport - This lightweight two-person dome tent is ideal for hiking and backpacking as it only weighs 3.5 pounds. It's easy to pitch and breakdown and has a footprint of 6 feet by 5 feet. The nylon floors have taped floor seams, and it features a half-moon door and a ventilated top with a mini fly cover. It doesn't have much storage space - just one small gear storage pocket. It is a 3 season tent that won't protect against much more than a light drizzle of rain. Reviewers said that it was easy to set up and take down. They also said that it is really small - 2 adults over 5 feet 9 inches tall would be pretty cramped. And it doesn't stand up to heavy rain - it is best suited for fair weather camping trips.

Eureka Alpenlite 2XT - This two person, 4 season expedition tent will keep you protected in even the most extreme conditions. The A-frame is the perfect shape to keep the snow from building up on the tent's surface. It has vents all around - 2 in the roof and 4 in the side walls - which keeps the tent well ventilated in all 4 seasons. At 7 pounds, 7 ounces it's a little heavier than a 3 season tent - but that's to be expected. Reviewers found it to be extremely sturdy and waterproof against heavy rain and snow. It fit 2 person comfortably, but can get a bit hot in the summer months.
