Tents

The new Gazelle G4 camping screen room pops up 30 seconds quicker than Gazelle's well-known fast tents, delivering immediate protection from the harsh, pounding sun, unrelenting wind, and whatever swarms of mosquitoes.

The newest inflatable rooftop tents are so light and packable, they travel in the car instead of on it. The Portal Nomis One is the latest, using a split-body design to carry in the trunk before inflating and hoisting onto the roof in 10 minutes.

Zpacks presents its latest featherlight backpacking tent. Pitched with a single pole, the new Plex Solo Pro pulls out all the stops in delivering an ambitious blend of ultralight packability and camping convenience.

Part A-frame and part tunnel tent, the inflatable Puffer tent is designed to seamlessly blend convenience, style and comfort. The tent sets up in minutes to deliver a fully integrated "all weather" sleeping space with built-in air mattress.

After a couple years of fast growth in the ultralight freestanding tent market, 2026 has been rather quiet. But a new player shatters the silence with an impressive solo freestander that drops in around 2 lb ... at half the price of some competitors.

Gazelle Tents looks to streamline base camp setup by slimming its tried-and-true hub-frame formula into a tall, sturdy bathroom/privacy tent that pitches in a mere minute and a half.

In 2025, we looked at the Kudhva K-Tent, a unique piece of semi-permanent architecture combining elements of safari tents, A-frame cabins and treehouses. Now that tent is traveling across the Atlantic as part of a series of US glamping resorts.

A year ago, we took a look at the Hyperlite Crosspeak 2 tent, an impressive cut of Dyneema that weighed just 2.1 lb but cost more than a dollar per gram. The all-new Crosspeak 1 dips well under 2 lb but still runs higher than a dollar per gram.

Last year, AlphaGo debuted the Cube Air Tent, a larger-than-life inflatable built for four to six people. Now it adds a smaller option – much smaller. The new Cube Solo smooths out the corners into a swag-like semicylinder that pitches in seconds.

Years before we heard the term "glamping," we knew exactly what it was thanks largely to Snow Peak. The Japanese brand continues its legacy of crafting glamping gear with a unique rooftop tent combining an inflatable frame and signature features.

The all-new Mohab Altus is a vehicle rooftop shelter series like nothing we've covered before. Using an electric-lift system, it rises into a boxy, hard-sided cabin that lives atop your vehicle, blurring the line between tent and RV.

Tree tent innovator Tentsile has developed what might be the world's most singular lineup of hanging tents, but one element holding those tents back: weight. The new Air series looks to solve that with the lightest, breeziest Tentsiles ever.

Inspired Overland has made a name for itself by launching some of the slimmest, lightest rooftop tents out there. Its new Trailpeak tent is still slim and ultralight but lives larger by opening up a cube-like base camp with extra headroom and volume.

The all-new Backcountry series from Gazelle Tents gets ruggedized with a heavy-duty, 4-season design built to camp comfortably from sweltering desert basins to high-alpine snow drifts ... and all stops in between.

The CanvasCamp Mouflon Tent pulls together a rugged canvas build, instant-pitching integrated hub frame and massive windows on all four sides like no other tent we've seen. It looks perfect for a night in the park or an extended overland expedition.
