Choosing the right tent
Are you looking for the ideal tent for your upcoming adventure? Among the hiking and camping equipment offered, discover the various tents Glisshop has selected for you. No matter if you prioritize weight over comfort or the other way round, or you are an ultra-minimalist ready to sacrifice everything to save a few grams, if you are looking for a two season model for your spring and summer camps, or if you are looking for an expedition tent, capable of resisting to any condition, you can find it at Glisshop. Keep the important criteria in mind: how many persons, what type or pitching system would you like (poles, masts or even inflatable or instant?), do you plan on sleeping under poor weather, what shape are you looking for (dome, tunnel or tepee?), with or without a porch (free space between the room and the outside of the tent, where you can store items sheltered from the wet)? Once your needs are defined, you will be able to make your choice among our various models and the best brands on the market such as MSR, Ferrino, Camp, Bach Marmot, Salewa and many more.

Key Features to Consider
Canopies and Materials: Durability and Comfort
The tent canopies are the main element that protects against external elements. Cotton canopies, valued for their durability and moisture-regulating ability, are ideal for long stays in one location. They offer unmatched comfort, especially in hot climates where air circulation is crucial. Modern camping canopies also use lightweight synthetic materials that resist water and wind well while being easy to transport. Technical innovations in the field of canopies have led to the development of lightweight trekking and hiking tents without compromising on strength and functionality.
Weight and Transport: Finding the Right Balance for Hikers
In the world of trekking and hiking, the weight of equipment, particularly tents, plays a crucial role in expedition preparation. For hikers and trekkers, the aim of reducing the load to carry is always a priority. In this quest for optimisation, ultralight trekking tents are the ideal alternative. They skilfully combine low weight with surprising ruggedness, providing a safe and reliable shelter without overloading adventurers' backpacks. However, choosing a tent is not limited to its weight; it is essential to find a model that ensures a perfect balance between lightness, durability, and weather resistance. This balance is particularly important in outdoor activities, where every gram carried can affect the success and comfort of the expedition. Therefore, careful attention must be paid to selecting the tent, which should be seen as an investment in efficiency and well-being during the trek.
Types of Tents: Options to Meet All Needs
The wide variety of tent models available on the market meets all needs and preferences. From spacious hiking tents with plenty of storage space to compact models for solo adventures, there is a tent for every type of activity. Camping tents offered by major brands often incorporate technical innovations, such as an efficient ventilation system or durable groundsheets, which significantly enhance the camping experience.
Accessories and Maintenance: Extending the Life of Your Tent
To ensure the longevity of your tent, using suitable maintenance products is recommended. These products can help preserve the canopy, maintain waterproofness, and protect against UV rays and tears. Additionally, accessories such as footprints and a good ventilation system can make a big difference in the comfort and practicality of your tent.
1-person, 2-person tents or more
The tent we offer can shelter from 1 to 3 hikers. Depending on how many people take part in your adventure, you need to choose a tent that offers enough room for you and your equipment. If comfort is important to you, don’t pick a tent that is too small. On the other hand, if you’re looking for lightness, you’ll have to compromise on comfort and have less room. Having a vestibule or apsis (free room between the outside of the tent and the room, to store your gear while protecting it from moisture) allows to keep your equipment sheltered without cluttering your living area.
Ultra-lightweight trekking tents
On a trek, weight is a critical element. As you spend multiple days hiking and carrying your gear, your need lightweight equipment. Pick a lightweight tent that is also sturdy and reliable. Keep in mind that you’ll have to pitch and take apart your tent every night and morning during your adventure, therefore it must be quick and easy to instal.
Ultra-lightweight and compact backpacking tents
When backpacking, as opposed to camping, you’ll have to hike all the way to the spot where you’ll spend the night. To enjoy your hike, it is best to pick a lightweight tent, that won’t make your hiking backpack too heavy.
4-season tents for mountain adventures
4-season tents are specifically designed for mountain expeditions and extreme weather conditions. These tents guarantee excellent waterproofness and great wind resistance thanks to durable materials and advanced structures. This type of tents is required for mountaineering or adventures in areas with extreme weather. However, these models are often more expensive, the price to pay to go on adventures.
