Expedition and Mountaineering activities require 4 season tents that can endure all kinds of extreme weather conditions: extreme cold, heavy snow, strong winds and rain.

More people than ever are now choosing to go with the 4 season tents, since they are now more lightweight than they used to be and can be trusted in the most extreme weather conditions.

However, if you are looking mainly to camp in warm weather,  the 3 season tents have better ventilation than 4 season tents (who protect against wind and cold) and will suit warm weather camping better.

In the Expedition & Moutaineering category, you can find mostly 2-3 person tents, since larger tents are heavier and cannot be carried throughout the hike. All the tents we recommend have aluminium alloy poles which are very sturdy and light weight. If you have a larger party than 3, simply get another small tent. This way the load can be comfortably splitted between the hikers.
