Tents
How does tent sizing work?
Tents are sized based off of how many standard adult sleeping bags can fit inside. Filled to max capacity, most tents are very tight inside. We recommend selecting a tent and adding gear storage when calculating if everything will fit. Example: If you are camping with 2 full size adults, we would recommend the 3 person tent to fit both campers and their gear.
What size sleeping pad will fit the best inside the tent?
Single person sleeping pads are always a good option for any tent. If your tent is large enough, the double sleeping pad great and will prevent the pads from separating throughout the night. If you are backpacking you will want a single person sleeping pad that is lightweight and portable.
Are there tent footprints for Winterial tents?
Yes there are tent footprints that are built to fit the 2,3 and 4 person tents.
What are the poles made of?
Poles for these tents are made of fiberglass or aluminum. For backpacking, you will find tents to have aluminum poles to bring down the weight while on the adventure!
What are the tent floors made out of?
Our tent floors are made 150D oxford waterproof PU3000mm. This is a durable tarp like material that will not be penetrated by water.
Is the rainfly waterproof?
Yes! Rainflys are used to deflect the rain and keep your tent dry. All Winterial tents have included or built in rainflys.
Can these tents be free standing?
Yes our tents are freestanding. Although we recommend staking them into the ground, the poles will create a dome effect that is free standing.

What are good sleeping pads for backpacking?
Backpacking is all about lightweight gear, so you will want to focus on ultralight gear. Insulated lightweight pads are great for packing and throwing in your pack.
Do the pillows inflate separately?
