Air circulation might not be your first concern when tent shopping, but it can have a major impact on your comfort.

We also take note of tents that struggle against the wind and need frequent re-pegging. Some tents actually blow over entirely. During the course of our testing, all the tents experience heavy downpours, wind and muddy conditions. We select the bestselling pop up tents, buy every pop up tent we test and take them to a field to peg them up and record how they stand up to the wind and rain during a blustery week.
