For ease of access to the categories, we have sub-divided the Family, Touring and Lighrtweight tents as follows: Family - over 10kg; Touring - over 3kg to 10kg; Lightweight - up to 3kg. However, weight is always subjective. For example, in some cases you may categorise a tent between 4 and 5kg as 'lightweight' when used in mountain conditions during the winter. | |
