Dependability
A quality backpacking tent should be dependable. This means the fabric such as nylon taffeta or UV resistant polyester that is seam sealed should be easily able to withstand severe weather elements and be resistant to tearing such as the Twilight by Marmot.
Warranty
Only buy quality backpacking tents such as the Habitat 5 Person Tent from Mountain Hardware that includes a long standing warranty such as 20 years to a lifetime.
Lightweight
Choosing a tent like the Crestone by Kelty that has feather or ultra-light poles will assure that transporting the tent will be easy on the back and arms.
Portability
A backpacking tent such as the Gogo by Nemo Equipment that is not only lightweight but is easy to carry and store should also be a priority.
Functional
A tent that meets all of the needs of the backpacker, from a reinforced rain fly to adequate ventilation such as the Tensihi by Nemo Equipment will help to assure that the tent stays dry and cool during transport and setup.
