The best combination of price and quality

The situation with high quality tourist equipment at the moment in the domestic market is ambiguous. In absolute access, mostly copies from Russian and Chinese manufacturers. Finding decent options among them is possible, but sometimes difficult. And even more so, not just solid, but also ultra-light, ideal for long hikes, where every extra gram of weight is especially important.We found these and included them in the rating, but basically we still focused on global manufacturers whose tents meet the highest standards and are recognized as the best in their class by both ordinary users and experienced tourists, experts and even famous travelers. Many of them you will not find in online hypermarkets, but you can buy in specialized stores.

The best double models

The most popular category in which it is easiest to find light camping tents.

Top 5. Norfin Ruffe 2

Rating (2022): 4.45
Accounted for 12 reviews from resources: Ozon, Yandex.Market
Best price

A tent with some nuances, but definitely super light, high quality and inexpensive.

  • Country: Latvia
  • Average price: 6,000 rubles.
  • Weight, kg: 2.15
  • Dimensions (packed): 12 x 50 cm

The model is double, but if you read the reviews, you can pay attention to the fact that in the end it seemed to many not very comfortable to accommodate two people. The second point is its single layer, which gave Ruffe 2 the lightness necessary for hiking expeditions, reduced the cost, but, of course, at the same time reduced the protective functions. Therefore, it is possible to consider for purchase, only taking into account initially all these disadvantages and acquiring it for not the most difficult trips. It will survive the rain thanks to the water resistance of the 2000 mm polyester awning and the 8000 mm floor, but lingering downpours most likely will not. But it is perfectly stitched, equipped with an anti-mosquito net, an inner pocket and a hook for a lantern.

Pros and cons
  • Good quality
  • Price
  • No vestibule
  • No braces included

Top 4. Tramp Cloud 2 Si

Good Russian manufacturer

Lightweight tent from a domestic brand, which is praised by professionals.

  • Country Russia
  • Average price: 16,500 rubles.
  • Weight, kg: 2.15
  • Dimensions (packed): 18 x 42 cm

This is not to say that Tramp pleases with a variety of “lightweights”, but it maintains a high standard of quality, and this is perhaps more important. Cloud is represented by two variations - double and triple. The latter practically does not differ in weight, and it is only one and a half to two thousand more expensive. Hub construction, breathable polyester inner tent and siliconized nylon floor and awning (4000mm). The awning, by the way, is impregnated from the spread of fire. The model is highly praised in the reviews, calling it almost perfect: excellent ventilation thanks to valves and an internal mesh, two entrances and a vestibule, which allows both tourists to comfortably accommodate. From the tips - it is worth buying a special substrate, since the bottom is not designed for uneven ground.

Pros and cons
  • Good wind resistance
  • Bright set pegs
  • Some people don't have a choice of colors.

Again, it is the lightest Canadian Camper to date, so will make a great companion.It is very compact when folded, and after installation, quite decent internal dimensions open - 210x140x110 cm. mosquito nets make this tent one of the best double options.

  • Dimensions (packed): 15 x 45 cm

Surely many, looking at the photo, will note the obvious similarity with the same classic.

Well, in general, we advise you to pay attention to the brand when choosing equipment - its products have a good ratio of characteristics and price, a variety of lightweight options. In the copy we have chosen, the awning, inner tent and bottom are made of 20D nylon with silicone impregnation and water resistance of 4000 mm. In addition to the weight, buyers praise the ease of assembly, the ability to withstand strong gusts of wind without additional stretching, the high quality of the seams, a strong frame that only gets better with each new release, a normal height (100 cm) and a well-organized interior space.

The best combination of price and quality

Remarkable cost for Talberg, comparable to mid-budget domestic brands.

  • Country: Germany
  • Average price: 9,000 rubles.
  • Weight, kg: 1.70
  • Dimensions (packed): 15 x 40 cm

An excellent choice, especially given the relatively low price for a well-known German equipment brand. A two-layer tent with as many as two entrances and mosquito nets, but without a vestibule. Polyester used: breathable inside, tarpaulin with UV protection of decent moisture resistance (5000mm, Ripstop 75D 190T), floor (7000mm, 80D 195T), no protruding threads, everything is level, the seams are taped. The frame is arc (diameter 8.5 mm), after installation, 240 × 100 × 95 cm of internal space is formed, which is more than enough for one person. There are no negative comments about the assembly, on the contrary, everyone praises it for its simplicity. Interior convenience has not been forgotten: there are interior pockets, a hanging shelf and a lantern hook.

Pros and cons
  • good ventilation
  • Repair kit in a set
  • There are complaints about jammed lightning

Top 4. Camp Minima 1SL

Rating (2022): 4.33
Accounted for 39 reviews from resources: Amazon
The lightest

Only 1 kg is the minimum weight in our rating of single tents.

  • Country: Italy
  • Average price: 26,000 rubles.
  • Weight, kg: 1.10
  • Dimensions (packed): 12 x 29 cm

No longer a new ultra-light tent from the manufacturer, but still on sale and relatively inexpensive (about 200 euros in the official store). If you are interested in fresh models, then you should look towards the fresh EVO - a line with 1, 2, 3-seater options. Only while in Russia they can not be found. Of the minuses - the internal size is 80x220x65 cm, which, of course, is not the most comfortable option, especially in terms of height. Therefore, it is worth considering the dimensions in advance, realizing that by and large this is a tent for sleeping.About the characteristics: awning (2000 mm, 30D) and floor (5000 mm) made of nylon, aluminum arches, a comfortable compression case, a repair kit and pegs are included. Regarding the latter, in the reviews they write that they are short.

Pros and cons
  • compactness
  • Good water resistance
  • small vent

Top 3. MSR Hubba NX

Rating (2022): 4.63
Accounted for 398 reviews from resources: Yandex.Market, IRecommend, Amazon
Best-seller

The most successful implementation of the hub design from MSR has made this company's Hubba line extremely popular.

  • Country: USA
  • Average price: 61,500 rubles.
  • Weight, kg: 1.29
  • Dimensions (packed): 15 x 46 cm

A series that is updated annually and is unlikely to ever be discontinued due to its great popularity. Therefore, it is easiest to find it in the Russian Federation among other brand lines. Although, when choosing, we advise you to consider others - Freelite, Access, Elixir, where there are 1, 2, 3 and 4-seater models for hiking trips. The price of Hubba NX, of course, is confusing, but we indicated the average, and if you search, you can find 30 percent cheaper. Constructed of nylon (1200mm, 20D, ripstop), DWR flooring made of 30D nylon with a claimed moisture resistance of 3000mm. Judging by the reviews, it does not get wet, and buyers also praise the tent for good ventilation and durable materials. Of the minuses - they talk about low wind resistance, although initially the model was not declared as an assault one.

Pros and cons
  • Good living space
  • High quality fittings
  • Big vestibule
  • Expensive

  • Country Russia
  • Average price: 18,200 rubles.
  • Weight, kg: 1.5
  • Dimensions (packed): 15 x 35 cm

A decent two-layer option from the small Tramp ultra-series. Claimed to be three-season, but according to reviews, it is most comfortable in summer. Inner tent made of breathable polyester, canopy and bottom made of siliconized nylon Rip-Stop weave with a water resistance of 4000mm, taped seams, good aluminum poles. There is a mosquito net, ventilation valves and a removable shelf. Two entrances. On the one hand, this is not so important when accommodating one person, on the other hand, in the heat you can arrange a pleasant draft for yourself. Well, or just have an emergency exit if there is a problem with lightning or a yeti comes to visit. One of the best options for today with only one unpleasant moment - it periodically disappears from sale somewhere.

Pros and cons
  • High strength
  • Acceptable price
  • There are negative reviews about accessories
