Key features:

Portable

Handles wind well

This tent is a great bang for your buck since it’s it offers 4 season protection, and its not too difficult to take up and down. The fiberglass poles simply need to be put into their color coded sleeves.

This tent also performs great against windy conditions since it made with heavy duty material, but the downside is this tent weighs a lot due to the material.

This is a bad deal for people looking to backpack. Also the tent stakes are rather cheap wire stakes.

Best for: Two people going to a campsite while expecting some possible rain wind or snow.

NTK Arizona GT 9 to 10 Person 

General info

Key features:

UV protection

Color coded poles

anti-fungus seamless polyethylene floor

‎Freestanding

3 season

The NTK Arizona GT 9 is a very great tent for resisting high winds by implementing a dome design that moves the winds over the tent.

The rainfly is also sealed up excellently to increase this tents wind resistance capabilities.

This tent has a large vestibule, two rooms and doors, color coded poles making tent construction easy. The room and the tent floor measurements give you some nice space.

There is one annoying aspect to this tent though. The windows only close from the outside which means you will have to get up and close them if the winds start to really pick up.

Although this tent does come with color coded tent poles allowing for an easy to understand set up.

Also considering the size of this tent it should be staked down to prevent the wind from lifting it up even though the tent is a freestanding tent. Using stakes as a backup is always a good idea making your tent extra secure.

Best for: Camping with the family during windy conditions
