4 Season tents are designed to endure all kinds of extreme weather conditions: heavy snow, ferocious winds and rain and extreme cold.
The 4 season tents are also referred to as expedition tents – they are fit for alpine climbing and mountaineering.
Not as light as 3 season tents, these tents are still designed to be carried on foot, so most of them have a 2-3 person capacity.
