What a 3-man tent really fits

The number on a tent's label is the number of sleeping mats that fit side by side on the floor, with nothing else inside. A 3-man tent sleeps three close together, or two people with their bags inside instead of in the porch. Many couples choose it: a little more weight than a 2-man tent, and far more comfort on a wet evening. For two adults and a child, look at the 4-man tents.

Pop-up, dome, tunnel or backpacking: which 3-man tent

Weight and pack size

The lightest 3-man tents in this range weigh about 1.5kg, which is light enough to carry. Many weigh between 2kg and 4kg, and the bigger cabin-style and inflatable tents more again. Walking, split it between you: one carries the tent, another the poles and pegs.

What the waterproof rating means on a 3-man tent

The rating in millimetres, the hydrostatic head, is the height of a column of water the fabric holds back before it leaks, tested to BS EN ISO 811. About 1,000mm is the lowest rating usually called waterproof, most lightweight flysheets are 1,500mm to 3,000mm, and more is worth having for long wet trips or a 3-man tent left up for days. The groundsheet is often rated higher, because you kneel and lie on it. Taped seams matter as much as the number. Shop by rating: to 2,000mm, to 3,000mm and 5,000mm and over.

Single or double layer

A double-layer tent has a breathable inner tent under a waterproof flysheet. The gap lets the moisture you breathe out escape, so less condensation drips on your sleeping bag, and the flysheet makes the porch. A single-layer tent is one waterproof skin: lighter and quicker to pitch, but damp inside on a cold, still night. Most of the 3-man tents here that state it are double layer. See double layer and single layer tents.

Questions people ask about 3-man tents

Is a 3-man tent big enough for two people?

Yes, comfortably, with room for both bags inside and space to sit up.

Which 3-man tents are for winter?

A 4-season tent: stronger poles, and a snow skirt round the bottom of the flysheet to stop wind and snow blowing underneath. See 4-season tents, and hot tents with a stove jack for tents that take a stove. Never take a barbecue or a stove without a flue into a tent: carbon monoxide kills. With a hot tent, use its own kind of stove and a carbon monoxide alarm.

Are pop-up tents waterproof?

Some are made for rain, some only for shade: check the rating on each one.
