Best Tents Blacks – Blacks Choice Awards 2016: Tents
Published in 2016, Blacks picked out a selection of their best tents from their Spring and Summer selection.
The headings of their awards include Inflatable, Family, Luxury, Large, Weekend Trips, Festival, Backpacking and Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards.
Below are some of the tents that Blacks selected and the reasons for their choice –
Inflatable
The Berghaus Air Range replaces standard tent poles with high quality TPU beams which are easy to inflate and deflate, allowing you to pitch these large tents in minutes. The Air 6 sleeps six people comfortably and combines size with value to give growing families the space they need. Available in 4, 6 and 8 person models.
Family
Vango Solaris 500 AirBeam® 5 Person Tent
This family camping favourite delivers on space, practicality and quality. Its quick inflation AirBeam® system allows you to pitch your new outdoor home in minutes, allowing your family to begin adventuring sooner. The layout includes large living and sleeping areas and a front sun canopy.
Luxury
Outwell Corvette 7AC 7 Person Tent
Part of Outwell’s Air Comfort Collection, the Corvette feels more like a luxury 5 star hotel than a tent. Outwell’s innovative inflatable system takes the stress out of pitching while their new Master Bedroom delivers on space and headroom. Other features include large tinted windows, a Night Sky Ceiling and zipped cable entry.
Large
Eurohike Buckingham Elite 8 Person Tent
If space is high on your agenda then look no further than the Buckingham Elite 8. Its well-planned interior sandwiches an enormous living area between two large bedrooms designed to sleep eight people comfortably. Great headroom and a cable zip access point make this a favourite among large families.
Weekend Trips
A great choice for families or couples looking for more space, the Dusk sleeps up to five people and has a large living area with great headroom. Its tunnel design makes it easy to pitch while its waterproof flysheet and bathtub groundsheet will protect you if it rains.
Backpacking
Berghaus Peak 3.2 2 Person Tent
Weight durability and pack size should all be considered when selecting kit for backpacking adventures. The Peak 3.2 is an ultra-light, all-season tent popular with those looking to stay fast and flexible. It offers a desirable combination of high grade materials, value and performance for two people.
