Hilleberg Jannu
Why it's hereOutdoor Gear Lab's top-scoring 4-season tent: expedition-grade storm protection, light enough to carry.
Recommended by Outdoor Gear LabGear & Defense
A three-season tent can collapse under snow load or flap itself apart in high wind. Four-season tents use stronger poles, more guy-out points and fabric that sheds snow. Outdoor Gear Lab's top-scoring model, the Hilleberg Jannu, gives expedition-grade storm protection at a weight you can still carry. The MSR Remote 2 is roomier, with two doors, and makes a comfortable base camp. These tents are expensive and warmer and stuffier than three-season shelters in mild weather, so they make the most sense if you camp in winter, at altitude or in exposed places, or want a reliable emergency shelter. Practice pitching in the wind and the dark, carry snow stakes, and vent the tent to cut condensation.
