How to Choose a Waterproof Tent

Whether you're planning a camping trip or heading out for a weekend of hiking, one of the most important pieces of gear you'll need is a good tent.

But with all the different options on the market, it can be tough to know which one is right for you.

In this blog post, we'll give you some tips on how to choose a waterproof tent that will keep you dry no matter what the weather throws your way.

How To Know

One of the most important things to look for in a waterproof tent is a good rainfly. A rainfly is an extra layer of fabric that covers the roof and walls of the tent, and it's typically made from waterproof or water-resistant material.

Many tents come with a rainfly included, but if yours doesn't, you can usually purchase one separately.

Another thing to consider is the floor of your tent. Most tents these days are made with waterproof or water-resistant floors, but it's always a good idea to double-check before you make your purchase.

You might also want to consider investing in a groundcloth, which is an extra layer of protection that goes under your tent to keep the floor dry.

Finally, make sure you know how to set up your tent properly. Even the best waterproof tents won't do you much good if they're not set up correctly. Make sure all the seams are sealed and that the rainfly is properly secured before you head out into inclement weather.
