Camping is an outdoor adventure and you do not want your equipment to be anything less than perfect. That is why a large number of campers prefer Columbia tents, which are among the most reputed in the market.

Columbia has been around for a while and has proved its mettle against the competition. Besides, Columbia tents have the variety, colours and style that will please any camper.

However, before deciding upon matters of colour and style it’s important that you understand your needs and opt for a product that satisfies them. Knowing a few technical features and what they mean in terms of camping experience, will help you a lot in deciding upon a tent. Here is some information on the features that you will come across in different Columbia tents designs.

The first thing to consider is how many persons the tent can accommodate, and the second should be its weight. An interesting feature found in some tents is pole sleeves, which are usually provided for windy weather so that the tent can hold its own in gusty winds. Do not confuse these with pole clips, which simplify pitching and allow a much better flow of air inside the tent.

In terms of the weather, a tent with some part of it as a mesh is ideal for ventilation and is suitable for summers. On the other hand, a dark coloured tent is good for winter camping as it absorbs all the heat and keeps the interior warm.
