When you’re trekking, every gram counts. The best trekking tents are lightweight and easy to carry. Look for materials like ripstop nylon or polyester, which combine durability with low weight. A good rule of thumb is to aim for a tent that weighs no more than two kilograms (about 4.4 pounds) for solo trekkers and a little more for two or more people. Additionally, consider the packability—how small the tent compresses when packed is crucial for fitting into a backpack without taking up too much space.
