Dude Counter-Dude Gear: Shelters

Back Packing Tents: Typically 1-3 person tents weighing between 3 and 10 lbs. Backpacking tents are less constructed than mountaineering tents, and lighter and smaller than car camping tents.

Ultra-light Tents Lighter (and more expensive) than traditional backpacking tents, ultra-light shelters shed weight through use of hi-tech materials, single wall construction and/or minimal volume and area.

Tarpolines Whether formed from a simple sheet of plastic or parabolic shaped, silicone impregnated nylon, tarps provide a light-weight, economical shelter option.

4 Season Tents Zero-porosity, four season single-wall mountaineering tents provide a surprisingly good weight to performance payoff at prices that had better attest to their quality.
